I need your opinions, guys. I can't think what is best to do next.
I went to Turkey (ASMED) in 2017 and had 2500 FUE transplant, mostly on the temples and to restore my hairline. It has improved things but I still feel it's thin, especially in strong light. I avoid windy weather etc. When I go out, I use the thickener spray and I am very self-conscious. I am using finasteride daily but my hair comes out far too easily even so in my opinion. The whole thing is getting me down. When I look in the mirror, it's the first thing I notice about myself. It affects my social life. Everything.
I hated walking through the airport in Turkey with my swollen head for the return flight back to the UK so I was considering the Maitland clinic in the UK. Trouble is, the cost. And I don't know whether I'd shell out £10k for something that falls out putting me back to square one.
Before all that, I wanted your opinion. Is it worthwhile going back for a second transplant? It's not the cost so much as the months spent styling out a scabby head and avoiding going out as well as the risk that the second one won't work. I worry that, a year from now, I will still look in the mirror and see the gaps on my temples and crown. But, ffs, I am only 27. I'm not ready to just put up with it. Have any of you been for a second transplant and found that it fixed the problem?
There is another option and I'm not sure what to think about it. I still have a lot of hair and a military buzz cut isn't really my thing but people seem to like the results of scalp micropigmentation. Does anyone have that done AND grow their hair? If so, do you like the results?
I want to do something in 2021 so that I can restart my life because at the moment I am only half living it. Your advice would be much appreciated.
