Hair transplant outside of USA?

[Hotwiskey]

Been looking for a reputable doctor outside of the US to get a ht but it seems the more I look the more uncertain I become. Been looking at Turkey I’ve heard good but some bad depending on doctor. Main reason I want to do outside US is price. I’m willing to spend 10k probably need about 2500-3k grafts but of great quality. I know 10k is on the higher side for somehwere like Turkey but I’m willing to spend it on quality without having to spend 20k back home.

Please can you share some more details, age, meds and pics ? Thanks 🙏

I’m 24, not on any meds did prp for a year and was pretty much a waste of money. I’m trying to stay away from fin I have some friends that tried it and while on it had ED.

Instead of focusing on Turkey you could look at some of the decent European options. 
Dr Bisanga, Dr Mwamba, Dr Feriduni - Belgium, Dr Pinto + Dr Ferreira- Portugal, Dr Freitas, Dr Villa, Dr Couto, Dr Lorenzo - Spain, just to name some ! 😁

JC's are all good options.

I've honestly been seeing quite a few good results in Brazil ever since I had my transplant.  I think it's worth looking into.  Unfortunately, hard to find a dedicated focum where people share their experiences for the Brazilian population.

Agreed.. We can now consider @Dr. Felipe Pittellafor example 👍🏽

There are great examples, but in the US we have excellent surgeons as well. Mwamba operated in Atlanta for $5 per graft. An absolute steal if you ask me.

10k is the kinda money where you don't have to go to Turkey lol. Go to Europe - you pay more than Turkey but the pro is that you have EU consumer protections on your side and you open yourself up to some of the best doctors in the world

Do you know if this is true or not? Dr Mwamba does not seem to be doing the surgery in Atlanta, rather supervising.

Location: Chastain surgery center, Buckhead area, Atlanta, Georgia

Head surgeon: Dr Truett Bridges

Training and supervision: Dr Patrick Mwamba

From what I’ve been told he is actively participating in the surgery I’ll tag his clinic rep @FUECLINIC

Could you also find out Dr Mwamba involvement in New Jersey

You want to be under the 2.7 Euro ($3) per graft level. In Turkey, HLC (where I went) and Dr. Pekiner are the only ones I would consider.

In Portugal, Dr. Pinto would be my choice. Dr. Ferriera is good but has a very long waiting list. 

In Spain, Dr. Ximena Vila and BHR Malaga are within range. Dr. De Freitas is a hairline master but also has a very long wait list.

All Belgium clinics are too expensive, especially after the 21% VAT.

I too am interested/waiting for @FUECLINIC to comment on Dr. Mwamba's involvement in Atlanta & New Jersey. Who is physically doing the incision, extraction, etc... if it's a doctor, which doctor? If techs are involved, which step are they involved in?

 

Thanks!

I am not positive on this, but I believe he is training a Dr in Princeton NJ who is a Dermatologist and does various other procedures for lips, nose, eyes, etc. I imagine he is currently heavily involved at this point as he just started in NJ and would probably have to teach her for a while especially if he is only there a few days a month. What happens after that though I don't know. I'm wondering if he is trying to start a chain of HT clincs here that license the name or something since he now has 2 clinics in the USA.

 

EDIT: Or he could just be renting an office at the Princeton NJ facility to perform hair transplants on his own patients rather than setting up an entire office himself. It would be much cheaper to just pay a small amount to use a space in another large facility.

Hello Everyone,

Any surgery booked at FUE CLINIC involves the presence and participation of Dr Mwamba as the lead surgeon. The consultation, design and all incisions are made by Dr Mwamba. The extractions are done by both surgeons (one of them Dr Mwamba) and the implantation as well in the US.

Other doctors in Atlanta, Brussels and New Jersey help with the surgery as it's been the way we work. 

We are not opening a clinic chain, Dr Mwamba lives in the US and would like to spend more time with his family thus working in Atlanta and New Jersey is more convenient. He still travels to Brussels every 2 months to perform surgeries there as well.

I hope this clarifies it!

I should also add I am not vaccinated and do not plan to be. I’m not making this political you may do what you please so please leave all of that. I just know it’s required to travel to some countries.

Yes there are some under my original post in response to someone else

I've experienced no side effects from taking fin if you wanted to give it a try.

I believe any side effects you get will subside after a short period of not taking it if you find it's not for you.

You still have a lot of hair, it's worth trying to salvage it. Fin is your best bet.

You're also quite young and prone to more hair loss in future. I think if you get a transplant the doctors will strongly advise taking fin or your transplant isn't going to look good if your untouched areas continue to bald with age.

What are the costs of Bisanga and them? The EU I guess what is a typical cost per graft. Yes you have 3 per graft in Turkey but just curious how much more it is in EU?

European docs (the good ones) range from about 2 EUR per graft on the low side up to around 5 EUR per graft on the high side, but most generally fall between 3-4 EUR per graft.

[Baldingat22]

Question for OP? What did they say graft wise if you care to share?

[afra]

It was both a trip and a nice trip for me.
