Where to get a good hairtransplant and what to look out for? (Location: Germany)

[bimaxmaxxer]

I'm around norwood 2 ish and got sick and tired of this bullshit. I want a decent hairline a teenage one, I can pull that off since I look very young in general.

I would pref to do the HT in Germany but I'm also ready to go to Turkey (Homecountry but I know my own people so I'm kinda hesitant to go to turkey).
Don't really care about the money I'm ready to spent 5-10k for a great job.

Didn't really find anything regarding germany, on this forum. Is it that bad? Germany > Europe > Turkey would be my priorities.

The reddit is actually good for scouting HT Drs. When I was in the market, Bekir Bek in Turkey had just started his own clinic after leaving HLC, a pretty solid clinic in Ankara.

I would scour the reddit for names, honestly just lurk hard on there for months and you'll get a sense of what to look for in good work and who is actually doing it.

I went to Loarwaong and had a good result - but he's outside your geographic requirements.

Thx that sounds good. Even tho I totally despise reddit.

Yeah its usually useless but the mods over there actually have a brain about identifying shill/sock accounts and fake reviews.
In Thailand, Absolute Clinic is good (either dr.) or Dr. Patty, as of about a year ago.

Bro, one last questions. Does a good hairtransplant include planting the follicles in different angles? And are there surgeons who are specialized in long hair or specific hairtyp, is it a thing or does it not matter at all?

Going to turkey might be a better option on second thought regarding phenotyp.

From what I recall, there is a clinical angle that is ideal relative to the curve of the head, i believe it's in literature. I will say that with long hair, if you're going to part it in the middle or somewhere on the top of the hair, the roots will not look the same, or as dense, as your natural hair.

To your question - Your hair calibre affects the perceived density of your results: wavy and thick - higher density appearance; straight and thin: lesser density. Regardless, 50fu/cm3 is what you want to shoot for. (see below for explanation)

Regarding phenotype - It's not hugely important unless you are black, their hair is uniquely curly and poses challenges with bisection of the grafts. Be mindful of the phenotypes and hair calibre of the patients results you analyze. Surgeons with patients similar to yours will be more familiar and have storied success with essentially your exact case (before you even walk in the door).

More info:

Hair transplants as you have read, hopefully, rely on the 'illusion of density' - the layering of the hair implies to the eye that it's fully dense. Which is why they implant often at higher densities at the hairline and lesser densities behind - often patients sweep their hair back which helps obfuscate the 'lack' of natural density.

The max recommended density you can achieve in one procedure before necrosis risk increases is 50 follicular units per centimeter cubed (50fu/cm3). It's cited as the ideal density because beyond that the ROI of putting grafts in the same place drops - you have a whole head you may need to cover and a limited donor area. This density DOES NOT APPEAR AS DENSE AS NATURAL HAIR WHEN PLACED SIDE BY SIDE, which often happens at the temple region.

thx for your post bro, this really helped me out
