  1. Thank you all your replies. Much appreciated, I am researching the best that I can. I have also looked at current trials and evidence based recommendations. I am on Minoxidil and Finasteride x 3 months. It has definetely stopped the hair loss but I dont appreciate any new growth.

     

    1, I have concluded that if you want to make a real difference then HT is the way to go. Medications are good I guess in regrowth early stages and variable stablization in the advanced. There are only 2 evidence based approved medications - minoxidil and finasteride (dutasteride being potent cousin). Rest is ancedotal or case reports.

     

    2, FUE vs FUS - pros and cons between either - I do not want the linear scar and risk numbness etc and option of keeping hair short - so I feel FUE is good for me.

     

    3, Now coming to the hair surgeons - this is where it becomes tricky - whom to choose from - not easy because you have several of them and all claim they are the best. I feel all use similar techniques, but it is artistery that makes the difference and ofcourse cost efficiency. I have to make a decision this year preferably in the next few months. I know I am geographically restricted to the US. So now I am in that phase.

     

    Can someone advice me on - can we believe all the before and after photos posted on the websites.

     

    Can someone give me the list of who they feel are the top 5 surgeons in the US; so this could be a working ground for me. I have contacted the 3 people I mentioned earlier already

     

    Can someone provide more info on why Alvi Armani has fallen from grace ...

     

    Fischer, Arocha, Bauman are new names I have found ... let me go after them now

  2. Hi all,

    Needed some advice. 37 y/o Norwood 4. I have been researching for the past few weeks and have become more confused than ever. So far I know I would be opting for FUE.

    Looking for a HT surgeon (in the US)- when everyone says one surgeon is good, you flip the page and someone swears he/ she is OK and recommends a new set of names.

    All HT surgeon's website claims they are the best and has developed a new technique with their name.

    To add to this, all forums advice to do your own research....my research is leading me in circles :(

     

    I dont know where to start. Some of my choices based on website and before and after pictures which looked promising.

     

    1, Dr. Baubac @ alviarmani

    2, Dr. Feller@ fellermedical

     

     

    Can someone help me out...what do you think of the above surgeons. Can anyone suggest how to make a decision with all the plethora of HT docs!!

     

    Thanks in advance.

    Suggestion will be much appreciated.
