Very briefly, I'm 33 years old and have been losing my hair since my late teens.
It has genuinely never really bothered me; I've had my hair trimmed short for the past 12 years+. Although to be fair I think it started at a grade 5 and of late is always down to 0.5.
Back in Nov 2008, for no real reason I can recall I thought that actually it would be good to have hair again.
So started my trawling through the various forums / websites. I read about a company called 'court house clinics' in Men's Health magazine and arranged a consultation. This led to more research and contact with people who have been through the process, some with great stories and results, others, not so much.
So eventually I decided on Dr Feller and managed to get a date of 27th Jan 2009. I paid up front 4100+ grafts, which was a killer considering the current exchange rate of 1.33!
I arrived on the 26th, had my surgery yesterday on the 27th and am due to fly back home to London this afternoon.
I had 4039 grafts, covering the majority of my bald head, I extremely pleased with the result.
I told Dr Feller that I wanted to comb my hair forward so we agreed to have him place a greater concentration toward the top and back of my scalp, which he did.
I think Dr Feller will post some photos on my behalf and I will take more back home as the months go by.

Hey P,

It was good meeting you on the Tuesday! you were pretty spaced out by the end of the session though, the crazy NY cab driver back didn't help, especially going 40 over a speed hump! nutta... don't be a stranger

Nice Work.


Just stopped by my office for a brief moment to pick something up and had an opportunity to take a brief look at this post of Dr Feller's work. At a point in the industry, when on many occasions I feel possibly too many grafts may have been sacrificed in order to meet the necessary goals of the patient in regard to density. SMG and other fine clinics, have for many years meet the goals of many very particular patients with less hair, then what is being obtained today and posted on sites.

In all the years, I have yet to see may post on how much respect and praise one has for the doctor and the plan that was designed around meeting the goals of the patient at the present moment along with preparing them for the entire journey and future as well.

So I think this is a prefect example of an optimal procedure taking the entire art and science of transplantation into consideration.

This patient has most likely been quite thin looking for a few years, compared to where he is, in a year he will look significantly better, a little more work is not going to change things much with a potential of increase risks. This patient will go from a thin bald look to a foundation that hides the scalp, if not most of the scalp and establishes a hairline that will frame in the face, provide a strong bench mark that will allow him to determine how much more he'll need, with out using anymore more hair then necessary to achieve it.

Dr Feller established a hairline anterior but in line with the hair right be hide it, address the frontal half and anterior two third of the crown, which technically may help the bottom one third that is not addressed, in that the crown sits a bit on a slope. And, even if the donor is moderate in density, the patient should have one- third of his donor left to modify and thicken.

Good example of well thought out work and doing what is appropriate looking at all the factors. The major ones: limited source, moving field and unknowns....never lose sight of these.

I picked up what I needed to pick up and said what I had to say, and it is Saturday little after 1:30pm with clear skies and temps above Zero here in Minnesota??¦actually close to freezing 32F, need to find my daughter a new pair of Snow Board Boots??¦..Regards, Matt Zupan- Dr Shapiro Patient Educator

Well a week on now.
Hey Petchski, i'm still not over that bloody cab ride, he was crazy!
Will take some pics Friday after the staple are out!

Congrats on the work .
Looks nice .
A big session also will really change your look.
I see your going with the Ceaser look . Thats becoming popular with guys lately


Hey Matt glad to see you on here . I know how much you like to talk about restoration.
From what I read it seems like a high % of guys never think much about the future when considering a transplant .

Thats why Im glad I came there because you guys know that fine line of meeting a patients goals and preserving enough donor for the future. No waste at SMG .
You get every graft to grow and place them in a way that you guys seem to achieve the same results as the other few top clinics with less grafts.
I know your capable of doing mega sessions and have on the right people but its nice to see the clinics that actually care about ones future
