Before I get into the consultation, I would like to give a little background on my case and how far I am along in MPB.
I started losing my hair around at the age of 19 and it’s 3V MPB. When I turned 23 I contacted Hassan and Wong for an online consultation and after much communication I was ecstatic with them. I did want to get the transplant at the time, but was afraid of the strip procedure which would leave a permeate scar on the back of my head. One year later I went to see Dr. Rahal for an in person consultation, he confirmed my 3V pattern but advised me to wait a while to see if the MPB has settled/slowed down.
Fast-forward to today, I am 29 and looking to have the hair transplant done this year. I have ruled out any surgeons that only do FUT and I am looking for an FUE specialists. I considered Dr. Rahal again, but I didn’t find enough FUE results online to make the case. From what I have seen online, most FUE cases are small hairline cases while larger cases were FUT.
I found Dr. Koray on this website and looked through his results and decided to do an online consultation. In summary this is what he said in the response. Can anyone comment on the questions I have regarding his comments.
1. He mentioned that I would need 4000 grafs, and also that my skin is thick and tough. I am not sure how sink thickness can be gauged from pics but my question is, does this make the surgery more complicated? And also, does this have anything to do with me shaving my head?
2. He also mentioned that they recommend PRP after the surgery. Does anyone have any idea if it actually helps in the recovery process?
3. Finally, he says its best to pay for the surgery in cash. Since I will be coming from another country, I was curious if it’s safe to travel with that kind of money to turkey in cash?
Any comments on these ?
Also, I really like the results that I am seeing form Dr. Koray, I just wish that his response time for communication would be a little better. Is it normal that his turn around time for questions is well over a week?
