The doctor you choose is more important than the city the doctor is in. It is in your best interest to stay away from chain clinics like Bosely. You will be much better off if you choose a doctor who is an IAHRS member. Here is a list for you.

Given your degree of hair loss and the length of time you have been this bald, neither Minoxidil or low level laser therapy are likely to do you much good. Oral medication such as Finasteride might be able to arrest your hair loss from progressing further though. Transplant surgery is not a silver bullet. Only so much of your hair can be moved into the balding area. So make sure you understand what realistic expectations are for your situation.

I think u need to take step back & first decide whether HT is right for you. Given the degree of hairloss & facts that ur nt on medication & live overseas I'd seriously re-consider the decision. HT requires life long commitment - u may need additional procedures & results r nt always satisfying.

IAHRS Recommended Hair Transplant Surgeon
You need to first figure out if you are a candidate for surgical hair restoration. It would help if you had your donor hair evaluated by a hair transplant doctor. Then you need to make sure your expectations are realistic. Then if you still want to proceed with a hair restoration procedure you need to decide if FUT (strip) or FUE is the right choice for you. Remember the only benefit of FUE is there is no linear scar in the donor area. The cost of FUE is much higher and if you do not plan to wear very short hair in the donor area FUT might be the way to go.
