Regular Member beanzzzz Posted January 31 Regular Member Share Posted January 31 Between all the bs we have to wade through with these coordinators, to reading up on the Drs. I got lost. I've 90% decided on an actual Dr vs a clinic type with bunch at once. HLC wants 12.5k USD, HOI said 7k USD, and it goes on.. Oh! Long Hair Clinic was best quote. But said over 3000 grafts needed. And they want to use DHI per the Dr rec. Idkkk about that. Shouldn't it be other way around, especially for large spots. Idk man, I need some guidance or help with a good place. I'm not wanting to go budget but I'm not reach. Just don't want to ruin myself. Thanks y'all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jjalay Posted January 31 Regular Member Share Posted January 31 (edited) In your case i would avoid all the clinics you mentioned before. You are a NW 5-6 and you are going to need a lot of grafts and someone who specialises in such hich NW cases. In such cases its always better to start with a strip surgery and not with fue, that will allow you to maximize your donor area without damaging the donor area. Have you considered having strip surgery?Can you show some pictures of your donor area? Doctors that specialize in strip surgery or fue megasession you will find many if you do a research in this forum. Some examples are Hattingen hair in switzerland for fut or doctor maras in cyprus for fue megasessions. Take a look at the list of the recommended doctors here: https://hairtransplantnetwork.com/best-hair-transplant-surgeons Once again do a better research and avoid the clinics youve mentioned before, they are hairmills.

Regular Member beanzzzz Posted January 31 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 31 I appreciate the honesty. I am also working to find out if DrGur or Turan are available. What do you think. I'm stuck because I won't have the next 6mo this off of work like I do know for ever maybe. I feel maybe Switzerland will be really high in cost. Like more than I can afford. I also am stuck because of a certain budget #. I'm going to follow the link you sent me and poke around. I really do appreciate that valuable Info. Oh yea. Get this. What if they say I can use beard donors. Red flag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also @jjalay if you went to Turkey. Where would YOU feel good with? I even try Thailand. Dr said a crazy amount of $ tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jjalay Posted January 31 Regular Member Share Posted January 31 dr Turan and Gur are good budget options in turkey but as i said before i would search for a clinic that specialises in such higher NW cases. Judging from your donor yeas you will also need beard grafts for the crown and you will probably need two surgeries if you want full coverage. But have you considered strip or is this out of the question for you? What is your budget on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id probably get it micro tatted anyway. I have my hair cut short on sides as it. I'm open to it. Just looked up places for FUT but most places don't do it or consider it outdated. Honestly, the place LONG HAIR CLINIC had me at price and communication. But when they said " you can choose FUE or DHI", I was shocked. I ain't no Dr to make the call on what method for best outcome. Idk. Appreciate you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member jjalay Posted January 31 Regular Member Share Posted January 31 Being completely honest if i were in your shoes i would not feel good anywhere in turkey. If i were you i would plan two surgeries to be able to cover the costs and achieve full coverage if this was my goal. First an fut to cover the hairline and the midscalp and after that an fue even combined with beard grafts to cover the crown. Look at hattingen hair in switzerland, it will cost you aroung 12k but they are world class. If you are looking for budget options for fut you can look at dr pathomvanich in thailand he charges around 3 dollars per grafts. Another good budget option for fut is dr sikos in budapest, he charges 1,5 euros per grafts and he does some really good work. I think for your level of hairloss you will need two surgeries and you will have to spent a little bit more. I mean something like 6-8k for the first surgery if you go with someone like sikos and another 6-8k for the second surgery if you go with someone like maras in cyprus. This is also a good budget plan. These are all my suggestions, you need to do a really good thoughout research before you decide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk. Appreciate you You’re going to struggle to find a good clinic to cover your scalp with that budget. You’ll likely need somewhere close to 5,000 grafts and the best lower cost clinics will be charging around £2-3 per graft (which I guess is about $3-4 p/g). If you just focus on the frontal third of your head and deal with the crown later then that becomes a lot more viable budget-wise of course. Depends on your goals. Your best option is to spend some time researching proper clinics (not LHC & HOI 🤦♂️) and to save up more money. There’s good lower cost options in India & Thailand that are better than 99% of what you’ll find in Turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have various price plans and specialize in High Norwood Cases Funny you mentioned. I just got quote back from them for 8k. Dr Priyadarshini Das would be my choice. They have prices set based on which doctor to see. Ofcourse, Dr Sethi is $$$$$ package. From what I'm reading, seems Eugenix is being said to be a better option than DrBekir, Turan or Gur. What do you say to that?? Thanks for the rec btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted January 31 Valued Contributor Share Posted January 31 Personally I would hold off from surgery and spend a good 12 months on this forum researching everything hair transplant related. You are approaching permanent surgery like buying a car. You are better off saving up for the right surgeon for you. Did any of the surgeons you contacted mention finasteride? I would recommend that you speak with your doctor to have Finasteride prescribed and to take this while you spend time researching on this forum. If you end up with a poor result or worse due to a lack of research it will cost you several times more than surgery itself. All the best. 1 1 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks y'all HLC is a great clinic, in which the procedure is all done by doctor. It has many great results on the forum which you can search about. Other good and safe options in Turkey would be Turan, Gur, Yaman, Demirsoy, Bicer, Bekir, Keser, and Pekiner. Their prices start from approximately 1 euro/graft. In general you need more than 6000 grafts, which could be done in 2 hair transplants. Edited January 31 by BaldGuy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Doron Harati Posted January 31 Senior Member Share Posted January 31 You'll need at least 6000 grafts to cover everything, there's is not enough photos of scalp and beard donor to review the quality and quantity of your donor if you're eligible for giga session over 5000 grafts in a single visit without overharvesting it. Since your letral humps looks narrow in the photo, I assume your scalp donor can at least have 4000 grafts in single session, if the beard is good you can have 5000+ grafts to gain great coverage in a single visit. At HDC clinic we offer both our MDs Dr. Maras and Dr. Christina for 2.3€ per graft, we located in Cyprus and offer free accommodations to our patients, if you interested in consultation you're welcome to contact my WhatsApp and check reviews is this forum. 1 Doron Harati - Patient coordinator for HDC Hair Clinic, HT procedures are done by MD Doctors with Microscope FUE.

Senior Member mr_peanutbutter Posted January 31 Senior Member Share Posted January 31 you are heading to norwood 6/7, your crown and lateral humps are gonna dip i think you have little room for mistakes and no grafts to spare. going for a cheap solution is a recipe for disaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member AB2000 Posted January 31 Senior Member Share Posted January 31 9 hours ago, beanzzzz said: I'm looking at 6-8k. Traveling from US. For your level or hair loss and budget, there is a high probability that it will end up in a botch if you go to any of those hairmills in Turkey. This means overharvested donor, pluggy hair in the recipient and grafts that die in the process then don't grow out. The cheaper thing is to do nothing. Repairing a bad result costs a lot more money than the original surgery. I'd save up a bit more for Eugenix or HLC, or make peace with your hairloss.
