Hi there. I am 34yr old who has spent the last 3 years lurking on forums on different sites.I have now decided the time is ripe to put my scalp under the needles (no knife, I do not want a strip).
I am what Dr. Mennetrey refer as Norwood 5. My hairloss seems to have drawn to a closure and my father has pretty much the same hairloss.

I am looking for doctors who can perform fue. Preferably in Europe, but I am not averse to travel. Money is a constraint but I realize quality comes first. Before you ask, I have tried Rogaine and propecia and the sides put me off. Plus, did not get much benefit either.

The doctors I have shortlisted from different sites (based on results and consistency)
Dr. Cole, Dr. Woods, Dr.Jones, and Dr. Bisanga.

Please feel free to add to the doctor list. I especially look fwd to reading other patient's experiences about these doctors.
Thanks in advance.
Greg.

What about Farjo or Feller? Farjo is in the U.K. and Feller has a consultant there, and regularly does European patients.

Check out Prohair clinic

Hey Greg I saw you on another site. Dont let Pats205 trick you into going to Armani. They are one of the most bogus fue clinics out there that prey on desperate young low norwoods. Check out Bisanga also. Your a nw5 be REAL careful who you choose for fue .Remeber hlp is the ONLY pro Armani site flooded with paid supporters.

Yes that guy Pats 205 got very good results from Armani strip surgery and sometimes changes his wording so you think it was FUE.

Does that remind you of another character that works there? What a joke Oh yeah they changed their website to wwwspindoctor.com

Thank you, I will keep that in mind about Armani.

papaz,
why are you adverse to strip? do you plan on wearing your hair buzzed short? i have two strip scars that are undetectable even when my hair is buzzed with a #3 clipper. and if you think fue does not cause scarring you need to do a lot more research on the subject.

Greg, see what I mean about Armani.
I saw your statement to Pats.
One of their paid consultants told a potential patient a few days ago that there are 18000 grafts available via fue yet when the guy posts thats statement Pats tries to clear it all up as a simple mistake. A simple mistake my ass. How could an educated consultant make a mistake like that?
Im tellin you they will tell you anything to get you in there and I mean anything.
Its nice to see you doin your research.

My hairloss is similar to this gentleman's and I want a similar transformation. But using fue only. Any one can compile similar results by fue from different doctors. Thanks for your help.

I know where you are coming from. But having read all these years, I feel comfortable with fue only. You can say I am a bit of a sissy when it comes to stitches and pain

From what I've seen, that'll take about $40k and 3-days; and a lot of scarring.....

Really though, the strip method didn't cause me any real pain but just some discomfort for a week or so.

Sissy is not the word I was thinking .
Isnt that picture from strip?

Yes thats a strip surgery I have NEVER seen a fue result close to this final result

Yes, thats a strip result, but one I want repeated on me by fue.
Is that possible?!

Like I said I have never seen that done yet.
The only thing that people ever really complain about when it comes to pain are the initial numbing shots. You have to go through those with strip or fue. Having sutures in your head for 10 days causes most no pain at all

I dont want to make this a fue v/s strip thread. Seen too many already.
I hope some more fue patients come forward with similar results. Because fue is what I plan for myself.
