Regular Member Lenzman Posted April 20 Regular Member Share Posted April 20 I've noticed in the last 2 years the UK seems to have had a rise in quality hair transplant surgeons. Not long ago the forum would always advise those living in the UK to travel abroad.... The general consensus now seems to be shifting though I think?

Valued Contributor Berba11 Posted April 20 Valued Contributor Share Posted April 20 There's still loads of terrible practitioners in the UK I'm afraid, but running concurrent to that is some newer options that are exciting. I don't know why Dr Ball isn't more widely discussed on here or reviewed though. He's been around for ages - all the way through the barren years - and is an excellent surgeon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TrixGlendevon Posted April 21 Senior Member Share Posted April 21 A couple of issues, in my opinion. The clinics in the UK produce average results and are expensive. Therefore, you can pay the same abroad and get a much better result OR get the same result abroad and pay a lot less. I still try and steer people on this forum into Continental Europe for a transplant. Whether they listen to me is another question... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TheGreatPretender Posted April 21 Senior Member Share Posted April 21 There is Many Mital who seems to be producing some interesting results and holds some potencial. I still feel that Europe is the way to go though because the quality here is still subpar compared to other clinics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member FunkyMonkey Posted April 21 Senior Member Share Posted April 21 There's a number of surgeons who are on the worthy list these days. I agree it has improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Eureka Posted April 22 Senior Member Share Posted April 22 Hey man, there’s still not many on the forum recommended list. Very few in-fact, though this could change 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks to be getting much better in the UK in terms of options That's great. Almost half of our members are from the UK. They were told to travel for years, but now they have options close by, not that you should choose based on location alone. But if all things are equal, convenience does matter. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Regular Member ScottishGuy21 Posted April 29 Regular Member Share Posted April 29 UK prices also now stack up competitively too. It’s still a mine field though so research is vital. Daily I see targeted adverts from pop up UK clinics in my feeds. The lists above are all solid choices 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Just seen Berba has already answered, but think how many people are influenced in general by trustpilot, google reviews etc when they are unverified and in some cases bought or faked.

Very true. Most don't even know what it takes to create a natural looking hairline. Completely clueless. Some may get lucky with their procedure, though far too many learn first hand just how unnatural it looks on themselves. Terrible situation to be in and having to seek a repair. To even think that every hair transplant clinic is the same and that the best price is the primary deciding factor is completely rolling the dice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted May 3 Moderators Share Posted May 3 Yeah most people just think you go somewhere, get some hair inserted, and you're done. They have no idea about angles, donor depletion, hairline design, etc. That's why they just pick the cheapest place that they read some good reviews about.

This reminded me of the competence stages model The worst part is I knew about it and still underestimated badly the complexity of HTs. I won't forget to use this model for evaluations ever again, that's for sure 🙂 By the way, one of the many things I valued about Dr Ball / Maitland clinic was the transparency and willingness to impart knowledge on their patients. Besides the thorough consultation, they send you full material to read before the surgery, including a document on the principles of hair transplantation. Should be made mandatory for all those shady clinics Two successful repairs (pluggy hairline removal + donor restoration) with Dr Ball - The Maitland Clinic https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/72766-pluggy-hairline-removal-donor-restocking-2-repairs-with-dr-ball-maitland-clinic/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
