Regular Member Josh Hu Posted October 12, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Hello everyone, I am 30 year old and NW2, and thinking of booking FUE for my hairline improvement with HLC. So far communication is super slow, I can only email them and get replies in about 2 days. (Is info@fue-hlc.com their official email, just to be sure?) I see good review about them, but I've never seen any reviews with their unshaved option, and I've attached a few pictures of mine. I'll be travel from Toronto Canada, so it's a long flying trip for me. Any tips for travelling to Ankara turkey would be great. Any suggestions would be appreicated.

Senior Member giegnosiganoe Posted October 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted October 12, 2021 Your donor density looks to be lower than average based on these pics. I'd wager that you have diffuse thinning as well. Could you provide more pics of the back and top? Are you on medication? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They quotated you 2500 grafts but when you will be there for sure they will tell you a bigger number and also they do not do usually unshaved transplant. which clinic do you recommend?

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted October 16, 2021 Valued Contributor Share Posted October 16, 2021 The only concern that I have with unshaven hair transplants is only my personal opinion. And that is 'anything' that may make the surgeon's work more difficult is an added worry for me for the long term gain. If I can mitigate this challenge for the surgeon then I am more than happy to have to shave my my head, etc for the 'potential' of a better outcome.
