When Is The Right Time To Get A Fue hair transplant?

[JohnsonDDG]

I just watched this video and it convinced me to get a FUE hair transplant - he's got 3,500 grafts and he has gone from a Norwood 6 to a Norwood 2 and looks amazing.

My only question is should I book one next year or should I wait 3 or 4 years for it to get worse (note - I'm a slow receder).

Here's a picture of where I am:

Is it more cost effective to wait until I am a nw4?

I cant afford it this year anyway - I've seen some good results in india for £2,000 for 2000 grafts but I think india is a bit sketchy. I think its best to go to Turkey - I've seen some amazing FUE's that cost £5,000 - its a hell of a lot of money but it could be worth it.

What do you think?

I don't know if its worth mentioning but I want a dense nw2 like this guy:

Don't you ever go to India to get a transplant. I've seen sh*t I still can't believe. Having problems finding it out, but I saw pre/post op pics from and Indian clinic. Client was NW6, surgeon drew a NW0 hairline (unbelievable) with poorly placed grafts. Post op photo was so dimly lighted to mask the shitty outcome that I still wonder how this surgeon still has some self respect.

Indian doctors and surgeons, if not trained in the best Western universities and clinics, are worth sh*t and are butchers.

I suggest you to keep saving (maybe set up a small fund) to get a £10000+ FUE with a top surgeon. Anything below is a dice roll and hair is just too visible to let it get fucked up. If they f*** up, everyone will notice forever. In my opinion hair transplant is so stochastic that you have to minimize risk by choosing top surgeons and paying big money.

I've seen some amazing results from someone who costs around £5,000 for 2000 grafts in Turkey - I think its so cheap because its outside the EU. I checked all the reviews and it looks completely legit.

As it stands, I can save £3,000 per year - so I don't want to be waiting 3/4 years to get a hair transplant if there is someone cheaper in a country like Turkey. In the UK they cost like £10,000 per I've read the quality isn't any better than Turkish surgeons.

You're right, I've even seen documentaries about the 'hair transplant tourism' in Turkey because of the tremendous success of this kind of business there. I was referring to 10000+ hair transplant with top surgeons which is a prerequisite regardless of how much you pay. Turkey is a good choice but do thorough research and take time to think, because you will need more hair transplants and will probably be advised to take finasteride to maintain.

 

[JohnsonDDG]

The Doctor I am looking at is Dr Maral - he's quoted at anywhere between £3,000 to £6000

Finasteride didn't work for me and I had mild side effects so I quit and hair loss has remained very slow.

I think if I have one transplant it would do me well for ten years because I am losing so slowly - hopefully there will be a cure by then!

So should I wait one year or should I leave it until I lose another norwood?

I think you can book an appointment with an expert near you to assess your situation. Experts can assess if you're a hair transplant candidate and if not, when you will be (ie when hair loss has stabilized and/or its path is clear). I don't think this costs much.

For me, the time to get a transplant will be when I have exhausted what I believe to be viable treatment options and am not maintaining a NW2 or lower

Aka, if finasteride isn't doing it for me anymore, I will get on dutasteride and perhaps RU as well

If I'm on dutasteride and I'm a NW2.5+, this will likely be when I dip into my donor follicles and start redistributing them on my scalp

So if you were me with my current hair line you would book it for next year as well?

I think if I knew for sure that I wasn't going to go beyond nw4 I would book it in a heartbeat. My concern is also that I may continue to lose more and would need 2 more transplants in the future. I should be saving for a house not buying hair!

That guy is by no means a NW6. His crown is mostly intact and back is completely fine. 3500 grafts focused on the frontal third and using a mini comb over from the side to create the illusion of density in the mid scalp. People with dense crowns are privileged.

I guess we are - he does look great though.

He's gone from a 5 to a 7.

Those results are very rare. When you have thin hair with open spaces for the grafts is when you should do it.

 

[JohnsonDDG]

When the women you date start getting angry at you all the time for no reason/When you can't keep a girl on your own terms for some reason.

Since you're not dating right now, I guess that time has already come. And please none of this "it's my choice" or "I have high standards" BS.

Guys who are below NW4 and have their sh*t together will have no trouble keeping a girlfriend, and if they're single, it's because they're the ones who broke up with their ex.

Yep, that's how I gauge if someone needs a FUE.

I literally broke up with my partner a few weeks ago - but dating was fine before we met at a Norwood 3. I think its normal to take a month or two out before heading back on tinder etc - especially when you've just moved to a new country.

 

[JohnsonDDG]

I think it's about time I start saving up money for a transplant. I'm Norwood 4 and quite desperate.

Good for you!

You will feel a ton better once you do it.

This is the power of Internet that give Iliterate ,Stupid idiots a platform to express a opinion about something what he believes must be true.

The videos you see on Internet are from small doctors or doctors who think they are best.

This is height of bullshit to call someone a butcher on your own observations.
You must be patriotic nationalist who ignores those hair transplants that Failed even after paying huge money and critically insulting an Indian Doctor about the transplant you believe was a Failed surgery.

Give me your opinion about Wayne Rooney's hair Transplant.
It's the most super flop surgery i ever seen.

Now i give example of many who have done Hair Transplant from Advanced Hair Studio (Australia.India,etc) branches.
Look at Example of Salman Khan Hair tranplant.

To be honest,no Indian doctor who is intelligent take Plastic surgery M.ch.
All medical surgeons who opt for plastic surgery are those who failed to be:
Cardio vascular & Thoracic Surgeon. Urology Surgeon. Neuro-Surgeon. Paediatrics Surgeon. Surgical Gastroenterologist. Surgical Oncologist. Endocrine Surgeon. Gynaecological Oncologist. Vascular Surgeon.

I think a lot of people are allured by the low costs - having said that I would be surprised if there weren't any talented doctors doing transplants in india.

You are no one to judge a country like that.

Every country has their own shitty doctors and bad hair transplant clinics. You never mentioned those. But you instead, went onto describe a particular country based on a few bad transplant photos that you have seen. It's part of the life brother, like two sides of the coin - this country has both the pros and cons.

All you have to do is - find the right doctor. That's where you have to be smart and picky. You would have done the same thing if you were in US, EU and Turkey.
I bet guys innocent and gullible like you - who judges the quality of a country's medical skills just by looking at some random bad transplant - are the victims of a bad transplant, themselves.

It's so annoying and at the same time completely ridiculous when someone posts these kind of things.

@Guzam Do you have any complain about this transplant??

This person documented his entire hair transplant and post op recovery and the result is just amazing.

It comes down to one thing - CAREFUL ANALYSIS.
He even made a video where he said why he chose that clinic.

That being said, learn something from life experience, don't generalize everything. It's a bad personality and won't help you to succeed in life.

If my hair looked like that, it would be a no brainer for me. I actually had a transplant booked when I was a NW2.5, but ended up not going through with it when I realized medication had restored me to NW2.

Personally, I've always had bdd issues and self esteem issues, so psychologically and emotionally it was very much affecting my day to day life, and I couldn't even look in the mirror without getting stressed out. I didn't care to live like that if there was a way out. Plus I'm a manlet so I can't sacrifice an inch aestheticly in other areas lol

But you also come across as someone who copes much better with hairloss and self image than I do from many of your posts I've read on here. And it sounds like you're actually doing ok despite your loss, so if you're able to function and live a quality of life that's acceptable to you, you may be fine without it.

Johnson, you have to answer your own question. You need to decide when YOU are ready. If you are not, then wait. How much is your hair loss affecting you now? You seem to have enough confidence in yourself that you can live a normal life as you are now. How much will it change your life? You don't know if your hair loss might become aggressive in the next 10 years. I have seen it happen to some at your age but its not very common. You can't take finasteride so you might suffer permanent shock loss and make things worse.

Are you financially ready at this point to commit to one? If not, then you know now is not the time. You seem like a really articulate and smart guy who is well educated. I think that is why you do so well with women. That is not going to change with some more hair. I think for some people who don't have much to offer need to make it up with their looks. I don't think you fit into that category. You have slept with more women than most guys here and I don't care what rating they got. You still are very experienced and alot of women who put a high value on sex are going to find that a positive trait. Oh wait, I forgot, you don't put as a high value on it now since you have hip problems so maybe that was not a great point. But overall, you are a good catch in my book for some other women who value being with someone caring and educated.
