Dr gur

i did my research and it came down to these two and bicer

 

bicer quoted almost 10k Eur

and i choose gur

 

we discussed and planned two ht surgeries

 

one may

 

one later in the year

 

and he was very realistic about hair line and potential

 

other clinics when i called them told me they are doing 18-20clients per day

 

aka hair mills

 

fue capilar does max 2 surgeries per day

sometimes even one

Oh good

Good a feedback from HLC

 

"

Thank you for the request and your interest. 

Based on your pictures your donor head area gives only 2500-3000 Grafts at maximum.

You will need around 7000-8000 Grafts to cover all the bald areas. We can transplant only in 2 sessions over one year and only if you have good donor areas. Please let us also know your expectations. If you want to have a full and dense look, then, unfortunately, we have to say that this is not possible. But if you want a new hairline that will cover your face and fill the rest of the head with body grafts and light coverage, this could be possible. "

 

how should i treat this feedback from HLC?

 

already schedule with FUE capilar

FUT is usually recommended for candidates with weaker donor areas as it yields more hair to transplant and leaves more room for future surgeries.  I recommend you get a consult done with one of the Thailand surgeons, they regularly perform FUT and can explain more. Dr. Pathomvich is on this forum, also Dr. Sorapong in Chiang Mai.
