Raggy561 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Hi guys, I have been doing research and I have been trying to find a doctor/clinic that would be able to reduce my hairline through a hair transplant. I have a receding hairline which basically stopped at this point. I am 31, black male with some thinning but not much to go crazy about, but my forehead always drove me crazy. Anywhere outside the US is fine, just need to make sure I make the best decision. One clinic said about 2500-2800...even though that seemed right. I just didn’t trust that clinic enough in Turkey to touch this dome. I have attached some images. Any Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Pbaird98 Posted November 11, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted November 11, 2022 Yeh don’t get it done in Turkey bro, consider Dr Mwamba, Dr Bisanga and @DrTBarghouthias some good options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Berba11 Posted November 11, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted November 11, 2022 Avoid Turkey like the plague. There's no clinics that specialise in afro-centric hair in Turkey. One of the top Drs in Belgium such as Bisanga, Lupanzula or Mwamba would be excellent choices. Not only are they top doctors, but they're also the owners & operators of afro hair themselves! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted November 13, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted November 13, 2022 This is just my opinion. But the risk for just lowering your natural hairline is not something that I would choose. I get it. I had a high hairline that I hated. But with every surgeon there is always a risk in surgery. If you were experiencing MPB as your prime reason then maybe that risk is worth it. Some great names have been suggested for you. But if things don't go plan be prepared for this. I'm not saying that this because you have Afrocentric hair (although it is more difficult on behalf of the surgeon). I say this across the board so that a patient can deal with the risk of an unsatisfied result better. Wishing you all the best and do plenty of research on this. 2 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you find great doctors there? Absolutely yes. Are everyone of these doctors is the best choice? Not. Some doctors will always be excellent, some of the best in the world, despite many mistakes, as long as they pay subscriptions for marketing here. We are all gamblers when deciding to get a hair transplant. It's up to you and your research how high the risk is (very low with some doctors) Search for reviews/results from independent patients.

The problem is that it is risky. In many ways it's more risky that surgery on a Norwood 6. The reason being that you are trying to not just mimic but replace mother nature by way of surgery. The hairline is the most frequently botched repair that you will ever see for a repair. Even the best of the best will not get a good result occasionally due to some 'X' factor. We see it every week here on HRN. I'm not opposed to it but I've seen so many unhappy patients who have chosen to do this (male and female) not including myself. To mimic the density, angles, softness, etc to your remaining native hair and to look post op like nothing was ever done involves more than you would think.

I see what you are saying and i appreciate that input I never heard this point of view before. Definitely something to consider cause I never really see or hear anybody wanting to get a transplant for a naturally high hairline with afro hair just receding and I am not worried bout receding cause every male in my family mom and dads side all still have full heads of hair in the 60s so I was just hoping I would be able to atleast just have my hairline alil lower so I can wear certain hairstyles better. Thank you for the info though and 1 more thing do you know by chance what is the worst case that can happen like what exactly do you mean by botched ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted March 24, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted March 24, 2023 By botched I mean one side may come in stronger than the other. The midpoint may be weaker. The density may not match the native hairline (though with a good surgeon Afrocentric gives the best bang for your buck in terms of coverage). I’m not telling you not to have surgery. I just think a better educated patient on all the pitfalls of surgery makes a better candidate. Why? Because they are aware that things may go pear shaped and will be in a better position to accept it. Many people have shown great work by an elite surgeon with results in the frontal third (look at Maz). But if you look through the forum you will find lots of guys (and females) who went for hairline lowering and the results left them wishing they never had surgery.
