    I am just a bit hesitant to go overseas to get any type of surgery. If the Dr. is part of the IAHRS, I am sure he does some pretty good work. Maybe one of these days I will grow the balls to head over there and get an HT. The price is definitely right.

If these prices were available in the US from good doctors, I would get a transplant without hesitation. In the US they charge what they do because they can and people will continue to line up to get it done because they really have no choice.
    My guy was booked 2-3 months out in the US. It's not cheap! Even with HM or other treatments it's going to be expensive. Money is flowing into the bio tech industry but to be honestv there's no real market for hair loss that will give a company a good return on investment. A better treatment will come when some guy taking a heart disease or what ever drug starts growing back hair and doctors will say well sh!! Look at this.

    And your comment about being permanently impotent as being a better scenario than having thin hair is laughable... seriously, print off your post and read it back to yourself (aloud preferably) the day your doctor can recommend no other treatment than a penile implant to treat your permanent impotence.
    Gotta be honest, even if it was 40% I'd still give it a shot over the 100% guarantee of going bald. If you get sides stop taking the drug. Couldn't people with "permanent impotence" get on TRT or something similar? I know bodybuilders on a shit ton of compounds and they somehow are able to get their levels back to normal.

    If finasteride actually worked as well as Merck claims it does half of us wouldnt be visiting this site, i'd personally be popping FIN tablets every day & be getting on with my life, unfortunately, finasteride is what it is: chemical castration, and no man should have to choose such a state of existence just to save a NW2/3 comb-over.
    You should try Dut man

    Are you scarred?

    Yeah and the cheapest I have seen from an ISHRS rec'ed member is $7 per FUE graft in the U.S. Let's say I need to get 3,500 grafts for my goals, at $7 per graft, that is $24,500 which is absolutely out of my reach. With Dr. Doganay in Turkey the same amount of grafts, same quality work or even better, for $9,520. With Dr. Bhatti it would be $4,200 for 3,500 FUE grafts.

    BTW about the ticket prices being $1,400, I know there are prices like that, but I bought a round trip from Turkish Airlines for $660 in April. My sis who is a flight attendant was going to get me a free ride but the problem is her Airlines only fly to Turkey starting from June 1st, and I absolutely have to get my HT done in April because that is how I scheduled it with the time off and healing process and everything. April is the perfect month that will allow me to be a hermit.
    Im excited for u bro

    so what does a ht solve?

    Not necessarily, some surgeons will operate on you even if you're not taking an finasteride.

    What does it solve? I don't know, if you're NW6, having hair at the front to frame your face so you don't have an infinite forehead anymore?
