This patient had about 2,500 grafts with Mark Tam on Harley Street in 2022, paying just shy of £9k including two consultations (in an earlier post they said closer to £8k). At 8 months they said everything was great but they were underwhelmed by progress; at one year they said they were somewhat happy, with a much better result but not happy with the corners. They planned to raise a further procedure with Tam.

Cool-Weather-5003 had a consultation with Dr Mark Tam in July 2023 but did not have surgery with him, later paying 6,500 GBP for 1,600 crown grafts with a different surgeon in December 2024. They described Tam as thorough and professional, but his quote of 15k GBP for 3,000 grafts gave them pause. They were also confused by the big difference in graft numbers compared with the other surgeon's more conservative approach.

Ewroor approached Belgravia, Dr Mark Tam and Eugenix India about their hairline after minoxidil, derma rolling, rosemary oil and supplements did not give the result they wanted. They say Dr Tam told them he can do it and they might need 1700-2000 grafts, versus about 1200 from Eugenix, and that he would put in more grafts than required. They had not had surgery and gave no verdict.

zirowatt1, still comparing options, says he got a quote from Dr Mark Tam in the UK of about $12k for 2400 grafts, against under $7k for the same amount at HLC, and was also inquiring about Pekiner. He had no procedure with Tam and gives no opinion of him.
