My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Feller

still at it hairthere !! all i have at the moment is a shortlist of doctors. Have mailed them my situation....process on. As of now the list includes H&W, Shapiro,Feller, Alexander,Rahal & Keene. Might include some other docs as I go along. Should be able to finalize within cpla weeks...

your going to get one GREAT result with all of that thick, curly hair and with such minimal loss. I bet 2k grafts and youll have a full head of hair (or appearance) again.
Im jeaolous...
you don't appear to have any thinning behind the receded area, correct?
that is a good list of docs too.
how old are you again mav?
age hair loss started?
below your left temple, is that thinning or just some patch?

You'll get great results with your hair type. make sure you have a solid gameplan for future loss/hts. your hair looks similar to rahal's posterboy, so i can understand why you'd consider him at the top of your list. i'd definitely consult feller too and keep alexander at the top.

Hi mav,

As good as your hair quality is for a transplant(curly), I suspect it is covering some areas of thinning as well, so please do keep that in mind when you plan for the long term as your hair loss pattern may accelerate or even change. I myself am going to Dr Rahal very soon and would definitely recommend you consult with him.

Good luck!!

Yes 1500-2000 grafts is what the doctors are estimating. Have been classified as a 2A. Actually the snaps that i have posted are kinda like worst case scenario... as for thinning behind the receded area if you have had a look at the top view yes the top is a little sparse at places but overall the appearance is quite dense. Am thinking of getting some sections filled on the top too.

I am 29, 90% of the hair loss happened when i was 23.

I keep my hair quite closely cropped on the sides. Yes there sure is a little diffusion and i wanted the docs to have a look at that....maybe fill it out too.You sure have an eye for detail !!


hairthere : I hope so too mate. Hmm...you think Dr Alexander that good with hairlines? He is impressive no doubt but better results than Feller and Rahal? Guess I need to take a closer look at his work. Tx mate....never hurts to recheck a doc's work.


Hey stratman !! Yes the curly nature of the hair provides an illusion of thickness especially on top where I do have some thinned out sections. I am going to have the doctor have a look when I go in for the surgery and hopefully have them filled....though i suspect there might be quite a bit of shock loss if i do try and get the top fixed - what with native hair packed all around. The hair fall has been pretty static for the last 6 years but then as you said you never know about the future.Tx for the advice mate !

mav, Call me an optismist because I think a doctor will end up dense packing closer to 2800-3000 grafts in that front area considering that a ton of 1s and 2s will be used, so insist on more!!

I agree that your situation is relatively ideal, betwen your minimal loss and hair charachteristics.

You on any treatments? (propecia, rogaine foam, nizoral/revita)

Follicles have asked for centuries, in ten languages, as many times so as to confuse a mathematician.

Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

Mav I think you'll definitely get an awsome result with any of those docs on you're list. From what I've seen each has posted numerous exceptional hairline results. Now it's probaly more of a call about which you feel the most comfortable with after speaking with each of them.

If budget allows and if you and the doc feel your future hair loss will be minimal you might even be a good candidate for FUE with someone like Dr. Feller.

Damn, with only 2000 or so grafts all the H&W techs would have to take a half day off :-)
