Dr. Bernardino Arocha, M.D. and his experienced staff have performed ultra refined follicular unit hair transplantation exclusively for the past few years. They regularly perform surgeries exceeding 3,000 FU grafts per session, with their largest session to date being 6,000 grafts. Dr. Arocha is a Diplomat of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery and has performed over 2,000 hair transplant surgeries.

I welcome all input and comments from forum members regarding his potential recommendation on the Hair Transplant Network. Given Dr. Arocha's extensive experience and his ultra refined techniques, I believe that once he garners sufficient positive feedback on this forum from actual patients he should be considered for membership in the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. To view the membership standards for the Coalition, click here .

I asked Dr. Arocha to share photos of both his patient results and his surgery. He and his lead medical tech, Craig, have provided this community with numerous photos to demonstrate their ultra refined follicular unit procedure and its impressive results.

View some of their patient photos below:

Pat,

I've been impressed with the hair transplant patient and surgical photos Dr. Arocha has posted. It does seem that he does ultra refined work and has the ability to perform hair transplant megasessions when appropriate for the hair transplant patient.

I personally believe he is recommendation criteria. And with enough patient feedback, he may certainly be Coalition material in the future.

Bill

I checked out the photos presented and realized that most are also highlighted on his website. In good faith I could not recommend him based on what I have seen due to:

-only one case showing immediate post op photos and they are poor quality
-same photos as website therefore assume these are "showcase" patients


I guess this is a case where I would just have to go with your judgement.

I would second NN better quality pictures and more examples of pts are needed.

I think dr Aroucha may indeed be a quality surgeon but you just can't tell looking at the few pics on his website.
The lighting is poor and some pictures are blurry. Its very difficult for members of this forum to assess his work.
If you look at say hasson and wongs website you can plainly see the fantastic results they produce.

Like i say, dr arocha may well be a quality surgeon and hopefully better picture quality in the future will testify to this.

Here is another photo album for your review.

2014 follicular unit grafts in one session

Some of the photos are a little blurry, but there are a greater number of photos and many of them are better quality.

This patient received 3628 follicular unit grafts in a single hair transplant session over a large norwood 7 balding area. This patient opted for coverage over density. Click here to view this album and offer your feedback.

The quality of photos just posted are a huge improvement.

The results of the norwood 7 patient in particular are very impressive. A huge transformation in one pass and very natural looking as well.

In response to requests from this community for more photos demonstrating he and his staffs capability to perform larger ultra refined sessions Dr. Arocha has posted another impressive patient photo album, click here to view.

This 36 year old patient used Propecia to stabilize his hair loss and minimize any potential shock hair loss from surgery and received one mega session of 4900 FU:

one hair FU 588
two hair FU 1960
three hair FU 1813
four hair FU 343
five hair FU 196

I think the photos that Dr. Arocha has provided are not only impressive but show his willingness to be responsive to this patient based community.

Given his credentials, technique and results I think he has earned the privilege of being recommended on the Hair Transplant Network Hair Transplant Network.
