Regular Member IcyNeighborhood99 Posted March 19, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 19, 2023 Hello everyone, I have decided to plunge into the hair transplant world and I am having a tough decision on who to chose between Bansal (Fuegenix), Bicer, and Nader. Price is no issue among the 3 and I have been quoted for 3400 from Fuegenix and 3000-3500 from H&W. I am a 26 year old diffuse thinner who has been on fin for about a year and min for 3 years. I am based in California and would like to know who should I go with? All 3 surgeons are fantastic! Its a tough decision. I have seen great results for patients with my particular hair loss as well. Please sway my decision ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Stilgar Posted March 20, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 20, 2023 Another Diffuse thinner here. After a year of research, I would go with Turan, Pekiner, HLC, De Freitas, Feriduni or Bansal. Please note that i listed these doctors because they have a relatively short waiting list (maybe up to a year). Other top-tier doctors have a waiting list for consultations varying from one to three years (bear in mind the word consultation). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had zero shock loss after and wasn't even on finasteride at the time. H&W would be quite close to you and you'd probably get the best density from them, however they are all very solid options. Look carefully at their results and ideally speak to past patients. There can be nuances involved Edited March 20, 2023 by BurnieBurns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member IcyNeighborhood99 Posted March 21, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2023 Yeah, I would love H&W, but he is waaay out of my budget. I meant the the price out of Bansal, Bicer, and Nader were no issue lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bansal is looking like a strong candidate to me due to the availability. How do you feel about their packages? Is it worth to get Bansal as the lead? Or their senior doc? Is there much of a difference? I’m also hesitant about the techs doing majority of the work as opposed to Nader and Bicer doing majority, if not all, of it.

Regular Member Rafael Manelli Posted March 21, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 21, 2023 Dr Bansal is Eugenix, not Fuegenix. Fuegenix is Dr Munib Ahmad (who is excellent) Have you considered FUT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to have it done in August, but I understand the timeframe argument of waiting to get the right surgeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the scar could be more noticeable with FUT, as opposed to the FUE method of picking individual grafts. The success is about similar these days and guys like Nader only offer FUE.

I would rather have the FUE process of extraction, as opposed to having that scar that a FUT produces. Also, I need a higher number of grafts. It could be harder to conceal that scar a FUT would produce. Just an overall better option to opt for a FUE for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I believe the package with Bansal equates to about $4 a graft. Would you pick Freitas over Bansal for a diffuse thinner like myself? I have not done enough research on Freitas.

I had FUT. it should depend on te donor and extent of hair loss pattern, not whether your recipient in diffuse or not The decision of FUT or FUE is a personal one based on preferred hair style or donor characteristics e.g degree of retrograde alopecia. If you have your reasons for preferring FUE that’s fine, but it isn’t overall ‘better for diffuse thinners’. As for the amount of grafts needed, FUT before FUE will more often than not give you a larger lifetime supply of grafts. As a diffuse thinner myself I recieved nearly 6k via FUT with Dr Wong. He told me if I opened for FUE I couldn’t have exceeded 3k without the donor looking very thin. This is all individual though and I’m not trying to dismiss your point, but rather show a different perspective for others reading. I’m sure you’d be in fantastic hands with Dr Bansal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No issues with you offering a different perspective I was quoted for H&W, but the cost is a bit much. How was your experience? Was it worth it?

I had a great experience with them, very professional, and happy with the result. Yes, I couldn’t have afforded their FUE either.. With FUT I only had to pay $5 p graft for the first 2000 then $3 for the rest. I consulted with Eugenix as well and if I wanted FUE I probably would have gone with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you happen to have a post of your journey? I would love to see how yours looks since we both are diffuse thinners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
