the competion is getting much bigger now in h/t in the uk and europe and the cliams even bigger!yet there seems to be a lack of up to date pictures,lm sure its not a lack of patients or good results, is it that the uk patients are more reserved and far fewer percentage wise than say the usa?

Best uk hairtransplant,

I believe there are a few clinics in the UK that are dedicated to performing state of the art hair transplant surgery, top of which, is Drs Bessam and Nilofer Farjo, who are elite members of the Coalition. See our Publisher's (Pat Hennessey) Visit to and live surgery observation of the Farjo Clinic here.

A few of their patients have presented their results online and look quite impressive. Mick McHugh, their patient coordinator also regularly presents examples of their work in pictures and video on our forum.

Regarding the lack of updates generally speaking - I can't speak to that. Frankly, I think all clinics who are performing state of the art techniques should jump on board and show off the quality of their work. Clinics who do state of the art work have nothing to fear and should jump at the chance to show their results. Those who aren't up to par will happily sit in the background and take whatever business is left.

Thankfully, this hair loss community gives patients a voice and a place to do their own research and draw their own conclusions as adults.

Best wishes,

Falc

Best uk hairtransplant,
too be honest, i think people in UK are maybe somewhat reserved but i think the % of people who are having HT's in US is much greater and hence more results that can presented.
i am one UK patient who is extremely happy with my result. i believe both Dr B & N Farjo are amongst some of the top surgeons within this field. i am going from personal experience & my expectations have been greatly exceeded. so much so that i will be going for 2nd HT for the crown. my pics can be viewed & judged by the members but i must say, people i have not seen for a while cannot make out what happened. My results look so natural that no-one has even thought i have had a HT & they know how i used to take the p.ss out people with pluggy HT's...man was i wrong..technology has moved leaps & bounds thankfully..

but as many member have said before, people need to research and go where they are confident.

all the best
FS

Maybe on this forum but use a variety of other forums and you will see a wider opinion and experiences shared by UK patients.

Numerous "UK patients" share their results openly and willing who travel to the US, Canada and Europe on a regular basis - Run a search there are TOO many to count who have documented their experiences from start to finish. All these UK patients are very happy to share their info and interact and update regularly. I do not think "UK patients" are more reserved at all, far from it to be honest - on the contrary they are as open as anyone and enjoy sharing their great experiences and results - The UK patients that have travelled that is - Run a search as there are numerous - you will see these "UK patients" are very unreserved - Maybe the ones who have surgery in the UK are but the ones that travel are not reserved at all.

I can link you to 50+ "UK patients" who have shared their info who have travelled to a variety of clinics on this forum and via many other forum links -let me know if you have trouble with the search.

best uk hairtransplant
There are both good and poor results being produced in every continent and hopefully your research should serve you well to choose wisely..Though be assured that you can get top notch surgery from people like Dr Devroye or other european clinics recommended on here.it's just a matter of taking your time and digging through the minefield.My top tips would be go to visit several centres no matter the travel involved, do not make any commitment on the day and do not pay any form of deposit,a few days thinking things over is always good .Make sure your consultation is with a doctor and ask to meet past patients.It is also worth doing online consults with those too far to visit, Jotronic put a good post on this point in another section.Just make sure you get good pictures and give as much background information as possible;there are many you could approach with confidence in this method, ie H&W,SMG Feller,Epstein etc etc.
Best of luck.

Couldn't agree with mick mchugh more - do a great deal of research and DO NOT ever let distance be an issue to enable you to get the best. Many who have done their research don't let travel restrict them.


Info here about online assessments and Joe's comment.

Hope this helps.

bestuktransplant - I see you have a blog and have already had a HT - Who did this HT? - Which clinic?

I Live in London and I never even considered having my HT done in the UK.

I got on a Plane to Canada and went with Dr.Rahal.

Just so you know most really good Doctors like HW, Feller, Rahal and Shapiro spend a lot of time doing "Repair Jobs" and most of these repair jobs originate from the UK.
So take this into account when considering doing an HT in the UK.

With the value of the pound over the USD it will cost way less to have the HT in the US or Canada and we have Zoom Airline flying low cost to New York or Ottawa or Vancouver (Feller or Rahal or H&W).

Cheers


Dr. Rahal 28/3/08
3425 Grafts / 7035 Hairs

Check my results: http://hair-restoration-info.c...6060861/m/7661030273

Hope you are doing well portugal! - Thats a very good point also - one which is overlooked and not commented on by certain posters. This information also helps individuals make a much more informed decision without bias .Its another added bonus on top of getting the best work money can buy by any of these established TOP clinics. It pays to travel in more ways than one - you just need to research Cool

i think that the majority of uk patients are either to busy or just not interested in sharing their experiences to help others once they have had their ht.either that or they dont even know these places exist?
there must be thousands of brits out there happy with their ht,s or else they would be on here looking for repairs instead of the handful we all know.
i think as well a lot of uk based people looking for ht,s stay away from the forums and prefer to contact one to one through the weblogs.today for instance,i have replied to two brits who have both asked the question "can i get a good ht in uk?"to which my answer is always the same "yes if you tread carefully".

All you need do is a 2 minute search as you know to see the MANY UK patients sharing their info gladly and readily on a daily basis - see the various forums of ALL the UK patients sharing their experiences - The ones whom have travelled that is and tends to be the common trend.

I can link 50 + here, so UK patients obviously DO CARE and are NOT too busy and are VERY interested in sharing their experiences and research as the forums are known only to well - UK guys are littered on the various forums and VERY thankful for the forums! - you being one of the very few "UK" patients who received a HT are here after all.


quote:

There are 100's of Brits looking into repairs if not 1000's - again, takes a 2 minute search to see the NUMEROUS UK patients seeking repair on a daily basis. Handful?? I alone must meet 1 a week if not more - I can link you to NUMEROUS on a variety of forums - all I can say is -YOU must have HUGE hands.

quote:
think as well a lot of uk based people looking for ht,s stay away from the forums and prefer to contact one to one through the weblogs


Again you only need see the MANY UK patients sharing their experiences - they do not stay away at all. There are so many UK patients looking into HT's and having HT's is quite amazing really, given the stigma attached to them here in the UK - Luckily these UK guys ARE finding the forums and researching appropriately because of them.

Aren't all UK guys the same? - Maybe its just ALL the UK guys who get work here in the UK and are happy are ALL busy, not interested or unaware of the forums...maybe...

Balody - glad i make you giggle as you make me my sides split some days.

I am not the only person Balody who sees and helps repair guys from the UK. If i was the only person who could help them then there just wouldn't be enough hours in the day. - but I like the well known spin.

HW, Shapiro, Rahal, Armani,Wolf, C#le) all have repair guys contacting them all on a daily basis amongst many other top clinics from the UK. I believe your friend Mick Mchugh has shared a few UK repir cases here also.

Whats hilarious is you choose to home in on that quote and non of the others ..... maybe quote me fully next time. Maybe you missed the rest of my post..

Hairthere is showing you just 2 examples of UK patients that are not too busy to share info WinkDo you need us to show you a few more?

Balody, before you desert us.. I would just like to clarify a couple of things for everyone reading. Before I do - Interesting again though you didn't choose to acknowlede the other parts of my post - seems you couldn't spin them in the fashion you would have liked hey..

We are on about UK patients in GENERAL that choose to share their info and time. Not just repair ones - But we can list just a few if you like off the top of my head. So the majority are mine are they? Mine? You mean Dr Feller patients. Oh indeed there are many aren't there... but maybe you are forgetting the many other UK repair patients there are who have been to other clinics and choose to find the time to post and share their story and are interested - these are not all mine are they..

Garageland (Repair with HW)

Sagg321 (Repair with Rahal)

Trepidition(Repair with Wolf)

DanUK (Repair with Armani)

Chrome(Repair with C~le)

Bullinut(Repair to be dicided who with but overseas at a guess)

Slaps (Repair to be dicided who with but overseas at a guess

Haggis(Repair with C~le)

Bigmac/ Chucky (Reapir with Shapiro)

Captain forehead (Reapir with Bisanga)

Non Repair

Malster (HW)

Spassky (HW)

London lad (HW)

Portugal (Rahal)

Azza7887 (Rahal)

Global (Wolf)

UKneedinfo - (Seager)

Melodymaker (Rahal)

UKNOOBIE (HW)

Recent UK post by Janna(shapiro)

The list can go on if you like - These UK guys have all found the forums and shared their info freely. How many "UK" HT happy patients do you know of on all the forums to compare out of interest that have interested to do so and have found the forums?

Seems your quote is a little incorrect..

quote:

These UK patients all seemed to have the time and were interested amongst a few of my guys.

Please let me know if you need anymore UK guys who are not mine - - Just let me know.
