the scar at the back looks scary. would be interesting to see how it heals over time.

one of his patients, chris, actually works at the boston office. he seems to have a good hair after a procedure by Distefano. what do you think? the pics on his site also look okay. i am just a nervous reck, don't want to end up with a funny looking hair mat on my head.

I recently had a chance to visit Dr. Distefano's clinic in Boston. I talked to one of his assistants, and i was impressed with the work they do (from the pictures on the site). does anyone have any reservations about going to Dr. Distefano? the problem i have is i read the following on this site: I have reservations regarding Dr. Mark Distefano due to his continued use of a multi bladed knife for removing the donor tissue. While this tool makes the process of separating the donor tissue into grafts quicker and easier, multi bladed knives have long since been discontinued by leading hair transplant clinics in order to minimize the transection and loss of a patients precious limited donor tissue. Leading clinic prefer to remove the donor strip using a single blade, while carefully controlling the angle and depth of the incision to minimize transecting (severing) the follicles along the cutting edge. The strip is then carefully slivered (sectioned) into smaller narrow strips under the microscopes to avoid transection. what is your experience? or can Dr. Distefano (if he is reading this note) reply to this issue? thanks.

mrkneed, if you were happy with Dr. Distefano, why did you go to another doctor for your second procedure? just curious.

someone on this site mentioned that Dr. Distefano uses multiple blades, which can cause destruction of the limited hair follicles we have. is that true? can Dr. Distefano reply to such an allegation? eager to hear the response.
