Best Hair Transplant surgeons in the world?

[psychic]

Hi all!
I'm pretty overwhelmed with the amount of information available on the subject,
with the amount of reviews, recommendations and before/after photos.

I'm too afraid to end up with a subpar transplant, thus I'd be willing to go almost anywhere in the world to have the procedure.
What would be a reputable source to get a list of the best surgeons in the world?
Or at least the best surgeons in East/West coast of North America and/or Japan?

P.S. I'm 26 years old, with the main problem being the frontal region!

Thank you very much!

The best from the pictures I've seen and from personal experience: Bisanga, Mwamba, De Reys, Feriduni, Doganay, Erdogan, Shapiro.

Most of them are from Belgium and Turkey though. Voilà, a few names to get you started .

Thanks!
I will look into them.

Is it worth it to pursue the best in the world and move to that country in order to have the operation?

Or are most people content with just having the operation in the country they currently reside in?

Thanks!

more and more people are travelling abroad each year for their procedure. For lower costs and in many cases better results, going abroad for hair transplant is a logical move.

But isn't a hair transplant operation, an on-going process?
Doesn't it mean I'll have to live in that foreign country for a couple of months?
Or does it mean I'll have to return to that country a few times for a check-up?

[fred970]

No, not at all, you don't return for check-ups. If your surgeon mentions that, then he's certainly not reliable.

It lasts 1 or 2 days depending on the extent of the procedure and then you're free to go. You'll just have to be careful not to bang your head .
