traction alopecia, UK, cost!

[howdoifixthis]

Hi All,

I'm not really sure where I should start, so I'll summarise my current situation:

> I'm 25
> from the UK
> have traction alopecia. Hair was damaged when my mother used to comb it and pull it back.
>the front temples are damaged and damage continues round to under my ears
>crown area is also damaged, same reason as above. Not sure if it has thinned.

What I want done:
>have those areas fixed via hair transplant

What I would like to know:
>A reputable surgeon (prefer the UK as I can go back to him/her if needed)
>cost estimation

Well, i've emailed a few Belgium based surgeons....still curious as to how much it'll cost. From the reading ive done I should go with the FUE method.

Dr. Coen Gho for sure. He is the only surgeon right now using a procedure that doesn't leave visible scarring and has some donor regeneration so you don't deplete your donor hair so quickly..

Based on looking at my pics, any guesses on how much it'll cost?

hard to tell, I would need a better pic of the hairline..but Gho is a little on the expensive side because of the donor regeneration and scarless procedure...an FUT procedure would be cheaper, but you would have a linear scar on the back of your head that would be visible if you ever wanted to shave your head...or if your hairloss advanced in the future

Are you sure this is traction alopecia? With the frontal recession and thinning at the crown, it looks like male pattern baldness to me.

I've uploaded some more pictures. It could be thinning at the crown, however look at the sides. The reason my hair is like this is because it used to be covered.

Howdoifixthis,

If you want an improved look aesthetically, then forget about going to Dr Gho.

I have not seen any "wow" results whatsoever from the technique although he does smaller sessions and is conservative in his approach.

The unique selling point is the donor regeneration and the jury is still out on that at the present moment.

Take your time doing your research and have a look through the list of recommended surgeons.
