Regular Member PluggedIn Posted April 28, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted April 28, 2022 I remember seeing on reddit recently someone spent $600 on a hair transplant somewhere in Africa. They only posted post operative pics but it did not look promising to put it midly. Does anyone have a similar story regardless of how it turned out?

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted April 28, 2022 Administrators Share Posted April 28, 2022 There was a guy here a few years ago that paid like $2 a graft in Colorado. He was completely botched.

Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted April 28, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) You could probably find some 1st year doctor who will operate on you for free in exchange for experimenting on your scalp.

Senior Member Britanium Posted April 29, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) Thoughts on seeing the Video..Ffs… Dude just get a HT.. You’re still bald and have more chance of getting a infection than hairs growing on the scalp… Or just keep wearing the tin foil hat.. 😂🤣 Edited April 29, 2022 by J.A.C 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member mafpe Posted April 29, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted April 29, 2022 i sympathize with his thinking and probably money constraint but... not with how he seems to think that other people who advise against him have their own agenda. the hygienic aspect is one thing... at least he did get betadine/etc to prevent infection. but... i don't think just plucking out hair would grow it in a new area... at most he's just planting it there... until it falls out again... he needs to move the hair follicle, not just the shaft 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then he could really do some damage 😬 Edited April 29, 2022 by J.A.C 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member NARMAK Posted May 5, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted May 5, 2022 Personally i realised that money isn't what you're really paying for when you get a hair transplant. It's your previous and finite donor. How somebody handles that is the most important part. Whilst going more expensive isn't always seen in the same light as going cheap, i think it needs to be because there's some really poor work done by places charging an arm and a leg in North America or Europe who act like staying in your native country is somehow a bigger guarantee of hair transplant success. That's why when i personally did my research, i weighed up what i needed and felt Eugenix are probably (at present) looking like the leading horse when it comes to quality of work for the different pricing tiers. 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!
