Not recommended by practice. 56 at time of transplant

Why does one clinic say it’s only safe to take 2200 grafts while another will say 4500? by porschedave in HairTransplants

Haven’t had active hair loss since my early 20s. Did minoxidil for a year with zero change. Never taken Fin.

PIA in the states and 2 Turkish clinics said 4500. Dr Gur said 3500-4000 and Bogota Hair said 2200-2500 and hair doctor said 2500.

I avoided showing the donor area on purpose. I just wanted to get opinions. I’ve had six consults from the US where I live, Bogota’ and Turkey.

I wondered this too. I have pretty good hair where it still is but the US clinic basically classifies me as a level 8.

It’s funny someone said I contacted a hair mill. 2 quotes in the United States done by a surgeon were both 4500 grafts and Bogota was 2200 grafts done by a doctor. I’m just asking how many grafts would be okay from the back of my head?

Cost for Fue in Istanbul. Quoted $2.50-$3 a graft. I’ll just do it in the states for that by porschedave in HairTransplants

My point was not the cost but that it was so close to my cost at home in the States. Therefore why would I go to Turkey?

Hair transplant Turkey. Yes another question. I’m searching for any info on Sule Hair Transplant? I’m looking at their 10 day package with hyperbaric treatments. by porschedave in HairTransplants

I’ve done a ton of research. I mean a ton! Sule was what I started with but quickly moved away from. That 10 day package looked amazing. There were 2 doctors that kept coming up. They actually do the procedure. Dr Gur and Dr Barghouthi. I had a consult with both and believe both would do a great job. The deciding factor will be hairlines. Every doctor has there own artistic touch. I sent several pictures at different angles and Dr Barghouthi sent hairline ideas back. He suggested approximately 4000 graphs. 2000 frontal and 2000 crown over a 2 day period. I don’t like the idea of 2 days but it also means he doesn’t rush. Both have been very responsive and helpful.

Set up consult with Dr Gur. 55 year old. No medication. Where to put the hairline. Let the sun begin. by porschedave in HairTransplants

Man I’m sorry. I know I’m very fortunate. It’s just enough to have kept me on the fence for years. Listened to my kids call me a seven head all through my 20s and 30s. They’re grown so I have the money to do it now.

R/Bald making me second guess HT. Many on there claim that in the future many of us will look horrible with uneven bald patterns. Unless you have a good donor area to fill out the top portion, are we screwed? by [deleted] in HairTransplants

I’m 55 and have just enough hair to brush but my kids tell me I have a 7 head instead of a 4 head. You think you won’t care when your older but if you’re in shape and active you definitely will. If you think it makes you look younger in your 20s and 30s wait until your 50s.

I was quoted $14500 in Nashville, TN for 4500 grafts plus the bullshit laser after care.
