Scalp biopsy South East/London

[BananaMan84]

After poor growth with my first procedure, it's been suggested I get a scalp biopsy to rule out any undiagnosed conditions before going ahead with a second procedure. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced dermatologist/clinic? The quotations I've received so far seem very high.

Thanks

If you don't mind, how much are the quotes?
I am not aware of who are decent or what the costs involved are.

Do you have pictures showing pre-op,immediately after and now? This should show the poor growth. Have you any idea how much yield/growth you had?

Quotes so far came in at 450 and 750 pounds. Way more than I expected. Have attached before and after. Had an in person consultation with Dr Bisanga, my native density measured at around 60 grafts per cm2, my transplanted density at 20 grafts per cm2.

I think the £450 is considered cheap after I’ve been looking around at costings.
Have you considered just seeing a dermatologist to have your scalp examined?
It would be useful to know what density your transplant was placed it.

Usually, 35-45 grafts per cm sq are required to provide a decent hairline. If you have only 20 per cm sq then it suggests only around half grew.

Do you see any redness on your scalp or suffer from excess itching or a burning feeling?

poor growth with my first procedure

Just out of curiosity, which clinic performed the procedure?
