Regular Member T218HT Posted June 2, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) First of all, this community is absolutely amazing. Thank you for all the great advice and insight thus far! So I have been going back and forth with getting a transplant for about a year and a half now. I haven't because I have been worried about it looking wirey, pluggy, and the hair line not coming out. I also don't look terrible with a shaved head thank god. So I have researched tons of Doctors, asked questions, etc. and have narrowed it down to 2. Laorwong, and Yaman. Both of these doctors told me I need between 4 and 4500 grafts, which I have, and they can do. I have no idea what Norwood I am. I am not doing any beard extraction, but I was wondering what the community thinks? Any insight would be amazing. Thank you so much!

Senior Member Doron Harati Posted June 2, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 2, 2023 Donor looks and good to have 4000+ grafts per session, always better to have longer hair and scalp measurements for better estimation, but looks you're good candidate for FUE procedure. 1 Doron Harati - Patient coordinator for HDC Hair Clinic, HT procedures are done by MD Doctors with Microscope FUE.

Senior Member Z-- Posted June 2, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 2, 2023 You look good with a shaved head. Between the two doctors you have in mind, go for Laorwong, no question about it. He's an all-around good option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm coordinator of HDC clinic, therefore I can't give feedbacks on other clinics, you should choose a clinic by your personal taste of their results and the strategy they choose for your procedure, it's safe to say you choose wisely choose not to go with cheap hair mills 😉 1 Doron Harati - Patient coordinator for HDC Hair Clinic, HT procedures are done by MD Doctors with Microscope FUE.

I know Laowong is the master, but Thailand might be tough for me. He's not bad relative to hairmills, but given your level of loss, you need someone elite -- and while he is recommended I remain unimpressed by his results. If you're going to go to Turkey, I'd suggest Pekiner foremost. That said, you should not let travel distance dictate your decision - go to the best doctor you can for your case. Laorwong is a very good and budget friendly choice. Perhaps you can look into Nader as well in Mexico. I don't know your budget, but if you could go to around $4 a graft, I'd contemplate doctors in Spain/Portugal as well. Pinto, Couto and Ferudini specifically are exceptional.

Understood on all points. I def. agree. I def. can only go to a certain number $$ wise. So unfortunately $4 is out of my budget. Yea Turkey is a crapshoot, but I have seen some great work done by Yaman. Also I insisted on Yaman doing the work or I'm not choosing him, and he said he will indeed do it. Also Nader has a 13 month wait! LOL I REALLY worry about 3 things. The hairline, which Yaman looks to be VERY good at, not wirey, or pluggy. Obviously like I said Laorwong is a GOAT, and you're right, if I have to go to Thailand, I have to go to Thailand! Thanks for the great feedback bro!
