Regular Member CaliforniaLiving Posted September 17, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted September 17, 2023 Hi all, My hair loss has finally started getting to a point where I have to start planning for surgery. I have been able to hold off with the big three for the last 12 years, but at 37 years old my hairline has started to really climb up the last 6 months. I think this coincides with me hitting the gym and weightlifting, but I am not going to quit exercising to save my hair Anyway, I had been looking at Bloxham for FUT, but I was wondering if anyone here can recommend any other surgeons that do good FUT work (including hairlines) that are moderately priced (i.e. $4/graft and under). I have diffuse thinning so I will need about 3000-3500 grafts for the frontal 3rd and I'm trying to max my donor while keeping my first surgery under 12-14k USD. I am willing to go overseas, but if I'm doing that I would prefer somewhere like Mexico or LatAm since I live in southern california and speak spanish. My long term plans are 2x FUT, then FUE until I have no more donor. I'm hoping this first surgery will give me 4-6 years before I need to do #2. This is not going to be one and done for me, since I am prob have a NW5-6 as my endstate (I have a lot of hair so I can get good coverage with styling, but most of it is diffuse). Thanks!

Regular Member BackFromTheBrink Posted September 18, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted September 18, 2023 Slightly left field question, but have you started to use creatine to help your recovery from the gym? People debate whether it contributes to hair loss, but it certainly did for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Savemyhairline Posted September 18, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted September 18, 2023 Are you assuming that weightlifting = increased Testosterone which in turn = increased DHT? Huh, I haven’t heard anyone attribute accelerated hairloss to just weightlifting before. Of course you hear about steroids doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Turkhair Posted September 18, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) I think FUT clinics are all very expensive. For 10-12k you can get pretty good results in a Turkey if you go fue Edited September 18, 2023 by Turkhair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor A_4_Archan Posted September 18, 2023 Valued Contributor Share Posted September 18, 2023 @CaliforniaLiving You can look at hattingen clinic and dr path for this...both are doing well when it comes to fut and their pricing is reasonable too...

There's not much to understand in my post other than I stopped taking it because on to be 3 prolonged periods that I did, my hair loss seemed to accelerate. I was curious if you were taking it too.

I want to, but, stop myself based on stories like yours. There are many…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
