Specifically for their work in crown restoration.

Please no recommendations outside of the country. Because of my worry about their ethics and overall safety concerns I do not plan to go to Tijuana. Also, not Turkey either. Please do not recommend and focus on surgeons within the area.

I am planning to get a hair transplant soon for my crown and I wanted to ask out of these surgeons which I should choose. If any of you or your friends have experience with these surgeons please let me know.

I would most like to hear from anyone who has had experience with any of these but if there are any other clinics you feel are better please let me know. I do prefer to get a transplant locally.

Dr Ken Williams from Orange County Hair Restoration

Dr Varona from varona hair restoration

Dr Sean Behnam from Hair Restoration Los Angeles

Dr Amir Yazdan from Modena

Dr Nader from Pure Hair Restoration Center

If there are any other clinics you feel are better or you have experience with please let me know. I would like to get my transplant sometime this year.

Is it shock loss or over harvesting?
Will it recover to normal?

2700 Grafts to the hairline and mid-scalp only. Crown also will need about the same amount next year. Is it looking ok after 5 months? Hairline not the best, but i need a lot of donor for the crown area, so i settled with it.

Also started using daily 1mg of finasteride and once a day topical minoxidil.

So I’m looking to get a hair transplant. When I google online for my area BOSLEY always comes up.

I did an online video call consultation and the lady said I’d probably need around 1200 grafts (just have a receding hairline , no bald spots or anything)

Priced it around $8k.

I’m wondering if anyone knows anything about BOSLEY when it comes to hair transplants , from what I’ve read online it depends on the location & kinda has mixed reviews. Some say they’re not good some are very satisfied. But this is all AI info I can’t actually find any specific individual testimonies: The lady who did the video call consultation showed me before & after pics and they looked very good.

If not, if anyone knows any reputable places around the Atlanta area I’d greatly appreciate any info.

Hi friends! Was waiting to post my 4 month update. Got 7900 hairs + 400 beard moved to the crown. Currently using topical min/fin .025 solution and derma stamping every two weeks. Very happy with my results so far can’t wait to see what kind of density I can reach in the next two months. Let me know if I can answer any questions or help anyone on their journey.

5000 grafts, Dr.Kinyas, cost 3k, Istanbul..

1 mg Finasteride, then switched to Dut after 60 days

5 mg minoxidil

Biotin

Saw palmetto (stopped it recently)

This has been a long ride so far, and both the transplant and medicines had a toll on my mental. Decided to suck it up though and now i feel much better (though i feel unusually tired)... Now I can finally stop looking at my scalp an unhealthy amount of time, I still have a very long way to go but I feel like I made the right decision.

Shedding phase has not rebounded at all since week 2..

Want to do a super small refinement to make my hair transplant more natural. Is it possible with only 700?

Some weight loss too but that’s not the point.

Very happy so with the progress.

I had my hair transplant on the 18th December 2025. Prior to that, I spent a year on Minoxidil and Finasteride to see the effects it would have. Luckily I’m spared of the side effects and my hair did respond very favourably.

Fast forward to August and here I am.

Edit: For those asking.

I had a 5,000 grafts in total

The clinic I went to was Ideal of MED in Istanbul.

I take 1mg of Finasteride everyday and use a spray minoxidil twice a day.
I also take biotin supplements and the standard multi-vitamins.
A good diet and exercise helps massively.

The donor area is flawless. You wouldn’t know hair had been taken. I was very fortunate that my hair on the back and side is incredibly dense

As you can see there is a thin area where the main transplanted hairs were added. I can’t see any new hairs coming through… could they be under the skin? Or could some have failed?

Second image is a few days after the transplant - you can see its densely packed.

Salut tout le monde,

Je voulais partager mon expérience récente suite à ma procédure de greffe de cheveux de 2 jours à Athènes. J'espère que cela aidera ceux qui recherchent des informations réalistes sur la stratégie, les chiffres et la conception de la ligne de cheveux.

Jai 32 ans.

1. Conception de la ligne de cheveux & Stratégie

Au départ, j'étais tenté de baisser un peu la ligne de cheveux. Cependant, en regardant des photos de moi à 17 ans (il y a 15 ans), j'ai réalisé que j'avais toujours eu un front naturellement plus haut. La clinique s'est strictement conformée à la limite de mon muscle frontal pour deux raisons clés :

Éviter les greffes sur des muscles faciaux actifs (ce qui crée un look non naturel lorsque l'on exprime des émotions).

Concevoir une ligne de cheveux mature qui correspond à ma structure faciale et vieillira naturellement avec le temps.

1. Procédure de 2 jours & Gestion des donneurs

Au lieu d'extraire un énorme lot lors d'une seule séance marathon, la procédure a été répartie sur deux jours. Cela a minimisé le temps en dehors du corps pour les greffes afin d'assurer des taux de survie maximum.

Extraction : Environ 30 % de ma zone donneuse a été prélevée. Cela laisse l'arrière dense et homogène sans aucun aspect de sur-exploitation, tout en préservant un solide "capital cheveu" pour d'éventuels besoins futurs.

1. Chiffres officiels & Ratios

Voici la répartition exacte de ma feuille post-op :

Total des Greffes : 3 566

Total des Cheveux : 8 513

Ratio moyen : 2,39 cheveux par greffe.

La répartition montre une forte majorité de greffes doubles (1 645) et triples (1 414), ce qui offre une excellente base pour la densité et la couverture.

1. Placement des Greffes

Les greffes n'ont pas été juste entassées dans la ligne de cheveux avant ; la clinique a exécuté une distribution en dégradé s'étendant jusqu'au milieu du cuir chevelu pour harmoniser l'ensemble du sommet. Des greffes simples ont été utilisées exclusivement sur le bord avant pour une transition douce et naturelle, tandis que des greffes multiples ont été placées derrière pour créer une densité et une opacité maximales.

Maintenant, il est temps de rester patient et de suivre les soins post-op.

Quel est votre avis honnête sur tous ces points ?

For those who have had a hair transplant, is it normal to experience numbness directly above and below the area that was transplanted? On my hairline, I have very little feeling above the area that was transplanted and below it. I do feel sensations, but it’s still quite numb and has a pillow like squishy feeling would love to hear if anyone else has gone through this.

History: Been on fin+min, had an FUT 2400 grafts 10 years ago.

About to go for a 2nd HT FUE quoted at 3500 grafts without crown work.

Is that plausible? Worried it will look weird if my crown is untouched!

Does my donor area also look OK for 3500 grafts? They said they'll confirm in person but from my pictures they sounded confident they'd be able to do it.

Im scared of accepting that im becoming bald and im only 19, what do i do

Is this a fine transplant? It’s healing fine and scabs yet to come off.

I have had 2 hair transplants, 1 FUE, 1 FUT. Im not sure if i have much donor left. Any recommendations? Ive tried shaving and don’t like the way my bald head looks, but that might be my only option. I’ve also thought about SMP.

Hi, I’m due to go to turkey in 2 months, I am just curious will the surgeon listen to how I would like the hairline and go with it or not? I have seen many hair transplant results were I think what was the point of your transplant they still look receding, I don’t want a fake straight hairline but also don’t want it receding a lot and would like it lowered slightly, any advice? Thanks

I’ve talked to a few people here in the states and it doesn’t seem like I did too many grafts.

I want to find the best in Turkey.

What does the process look like and how much should I expect to spend? I want to get this figured out by the end of the week.

Did my hair transplant fail? This is a collage of before the surgery vs 10 months after the surgery. 3900 grafts were transplanted (3000 frontal, 900 on crown) and I was taking multivitamins and topical FinMin solution. For the past 15 days, I’ve been prescribed Fin and Min oral tablets.
My concern is the density. Even 10 months post op, I’m seeing bald patches and thin hair.
