10 years of this, now I’m finally going for a hair transplant. Need advice. Pics included.

[James227]

Hello, I’m nearly 34 years old and it’s been about 10 years of propecia, minoxidil, regaine, oral minoxidil, dermaneedling, hair laser therapy, hair vitamins, fancy shampoos, hair fibres and concealers, blah, blah, blah… All that bullshit! And I’m still losing my f*****g hair!

Anyway, I need some advice. I’m in the UK and obviously I don’t really want to go anywhere here for a hair transplant. I’m looking at Belgium at the moment, but I’m open to any other suggestions. I’m looking to spend about £6k-£10k. I cannot afford this at all and it’s going to take me about a year to save up the money so I really don’t want to f*** this up and go to the wrong surgeon and end up regretting it. I’ve had an online consultation of sorts with Dr Lupanzula and I’m hoping to go and see him in person later on this year. He’s said that I’d need roughly 1,250/1500 grafts on my crown and the same again on my hairline. The price will be around £8k-&10k depended on how the surgery goes on the day. But I want to contact as many clinics as I can just so I don’t feel like I’m being impulsive and rushing in. I’ve heard Dr B.isanga is very good. Is there much difference? Who would you guys say are the best around for the budget I’m on in Europe?

I’ll add some pictures but before anyone tells me that it isn’t that bad, my camera on my phone is sh*t and I’m taking them myself. Trust me, my hair is very thin. My hairline is so sparse and see through in certain lights and my crown has its own thing going on. I’ll try and get my partner to take some pictures on her phone later if anyone is interested?

I’d really appreciate any advice at all. I never actually thought I’d really go for a hair transplant and now it’s seems like a very real possibility I’m absolutely scared to death! I’m nervous at the thought of the procedure itself, what if it doesn’t take and I waste all that money? What if it does take but it looks awful? Like doll hair! The list goes on. I’m sure everyone goes through similar worries but still, it’s such a big risk. So as I said, and feedback would be greatly appreciated. I know it’s a long post and I’m sorry, I just wanted to included as much as I could.

Thank you to those who take the time to read this. I will add some picture soon.

Regards, James.

I should also add that when I say I’m losing my hair, I mean I cannot stop my hair loss and it’s falling out constantly and visibly changing all the time. Am I stupid to even think about getting a hair transplant if I cannot stabilise my hair loss?

Thanks again.

 

[James227]

Crown obviously.

 

[James227]

Hairline, but it’s so hard to capture it properly. I’ll try again later.

 

[Zwillard90]

Bro I wouldn’t worry about it. For 34 your hairline is great. If you want to get one on your crown you could do that.

 

[losingbattle88]

Crown obviously.

You wrote u took propecia for a year only and quit. So you wasnt on it for 10 years. No Wonder u balding.

Thank you for being kind, but honestly, the pictures just don’t show it properly. It’s got that kind of X-ray look going on, do you know what I mean? It was alright when it was just my crown. I’d just bang a load of hair fibres in it and forget about it. But my hairline has been getting worse for I’d say these last two years or more and man, having to look at it all the time, it gets you down. I know there are worse things, but this sh*t is still hard to deal with.

And sorry mate, I don’t know what you’re talking about? I’ve been on propecia for about seven years, been using minoxidil for even longer. Tried dermaneedling for about 2-3 years but jacked it in because I didn’t see any results and I probably wansn’t doing it properly anyway. Tried hit laser therapy for a year or so. Been on 2.5mg loniten since Christmas. I just meant collectively I’ve been doing one thing or another to prevent hair loss for 10 years. I just didn’t write all this sh*t down before as the post was long enough. But now you know! Ha ha!

Done and done!

 

[shakalakaplaka]

Done and done!

Now what are you using ?

 

[James227]

Now what are you using ?

Ha ha! What?? I just said above bro. Pretty much everything except dutasteride, which if I’m honest, I’d rather not and doubt I’d ever take.

 

[losingbattle88]

Im on finasteride after using very high dose of duta for 1.5 years which didnt put a Dent in my hair thinning whatsoever. Nor did high dose oral minoxidill. These treatments only works for People with no hairloss hahha.

@everyone I told you Finasteride doesn’t work lol my proof right here

Ok princess relax

 

[James227]

Hey man, this sh*t works, it bought me plenty of bonus years. I wish I had of enjoyed them rather than just worrying about it all the time. But for me, like others too I guess, it’s effectiveness has worn off over the years.

Ok princess relax

And bro, I’m relaxed. I’m being very polite even though I had answered your question just above.

 

[michel sapin]

bro do you get better result since you have started the oral minoxidil? do you get more unwanted body/facial hair from it? thx

 

[James227]

bro do you get better result since you have started the oral minoxidil? do you get more unwanted body/facial hair from it? thx

Unfortunately no, I haven’t noticed any improvements since stating oral minoxidil. I’m still using topical minoxidil too, but it just seems like everything has run it’s course now. And I might have a little bit more hair between the edge of my eyebrows and my temples (if you know what I mean?) but that’s about it. I’m only taking 2.5mg though, I hear of people taking double or quadruple that, so who knows?

 

[Ajamilo]

bro do you get better result since you have started the oral minoxidil? do you get more unwanted body/facial hair from it? thx

i swear, you are sick. u have been asking that question to everyone who use it in 1 year now
