Hello, I have a date set with Nader later this month .  I was wondering you’re one of only 2 people that didn’t get the top (  recipient area) shaved? Is that a option? Does it cost more to not shave the top?

All the patient photos I seen before my first procedure were fully shaved which wasn't something I really wanted to do, I asked Dr Nader in our first emails if  it was absolutely necessary to fully shave the scalp for best results. He replied that it easier for him plant the grafts but wouldn't make any difference the out come of the procedure & could leave up to 1/2 in. on top.

So just ask, I did both my procedures that way & got me back to normal a lot faster & it didn't cost extra.

I do have a question for you if you don’t mind. Do you take any meds or is it all transplants up there? 

Thanks! I'm 59 & started thinning in my early 30's. I was about a Norwood 3V plus & never took any Meds when I went to Dr Nader in 11- 2015, I received 3700+ grafts & he recommended 10000 mg of biotin per day which really seemed to help.

 Lately I thought I maybe (not for sure) I was l was losing some native hair. On my last visit I told him I'd like to try Fin. He prescribed 1.25 mg per day it's been 10 days so far with no side effects & hoping it will stay that way so I can protect my investment. Lol

I am considering going to Dr. Nader. My main reservation is security in Reynosa, especially given that some of his patients pay in cash. Can anyone comment on this? Thanks.

 

Reynosa has quieted down quite a bit over the last few months, but  I believe if you had any trouble it would be more of bad luck of being in the wrong place at the wrong time which is most likely slim to none.Also I don't think it's common knowledge on the street that some Nader patents are carrying large amounts of cash or any would-be holdup men are reading this forum to find out. lol

I brought cash both trips, I was a little uneasy but that 10% discount made it worth the risk to me. I taped the cash around my ankle & carried a dummy wallet with a few bucks in it just  in case I had to hand it over. Everything went smoothly & at no time did I ever feel I was in the least amount of danger either trip.

Good Luck with what ever you choose.

Day 8 scabs are gone & hairline looking good. Sorry for the poor resolution

I take it every other day and have for years and it still is very efficient.

What amount do you take every other day ?

I just started 1.25 per day 8 days ago with no sides so far. Just wondering, If you make it say 30 days with no side effects, how good are your chances to continue that way ?

I noticed since the website overhaul  there are no more view counts on the threads {the actual amount  of times the post has been viewed}. I believe this is an important  feature { especially with reviews } to let the poster know if anyone is interested even if there is no replies

People like your posts. 

It's not that accurate unless somebody went through and liked a few thousand of Bill and Spex's posts, but that is the was supposed to work I think. 

 

I just liked your post so we will see what happens. 

Well my community rep just went up a point, I liked your post & your CR increased  by 1...Mystery solved,  Thanks!

I noticed this feature was added in the new website overhaul. I searched this & couldn't find anything...Just curious

Congrats! Bold choice on going for the widow's peak.   Out of curiosity, was this something you had naturally before you lost your hair, and you just wanted to restore it? Or was this simply a stylistic choice and something you always wanted?

Congrats, MrMatt!  The work looks good.  You were one of the reasons I got my first HT with Dr. Nader.  Like you, I got a second one this past May — I really should post my reviews.

Thanks. 

Thanks... I've been trying to go for my 2nd since Jan 2017, but unforeseen things kept stalling my plans. Glad I finally got it done.

I was thrilled with my last HT results & really didn't need to go back (in my opinion}... but hair greed took over lol.

Really like to see some photos of your progress!

Just got back from Reynosa Mexico round 2 with Dr Nader. I went to max out  what he estimated to be 2500 grafts last procedure but after thorough examination this time he found we could do the 2500 and I'd still have 500 to 1000 in the bank for a rainy day.
Everything went great as usual, stayed in a junior suite 2 nights, transportation to & from the airport & his office, breakfast & lunch  all medications included in the price.I don't think this deal can be beat.
Here's the work, I'll update every 3 months for anyone that's interested.Here's a link to my first procedure https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/43859-3854-fue-grafts-with-dr-luis-nader/

Leave tomorrow for Texas and the chauffeured rides across the border. I'll update with pics and my thoughts.

I'd wish you luck but with Dr Nader you won't need it. By all means definitely order the legendary tacos.

Outside just now thinking of my previous post, my chosen avatar pic, and as I smoked probably my 10th of the day..(

I always thought that was a cool avatar & wondered who that person could be ?

That's good to hear Matt, reassuring. As mentioned yours and others results have impressed me.

Did you approach him about the subject of possibly being recommended here?

Dr Nader seems to be happy doing just one patient a day & told me(11-15) he had no plans of expanding in the near future. He has a state of the art clinic with a staff of six, he does all the extractions & one Tech helps him with planting so he can do up to 3000 FUE grafts a day.

He has more business than he can handle now so being recommended here would only be an extra cost, jack his prices and just add to the problem of communication. He said he will only answer emails personally & hiring someone to answer them would just add to the delay.

All I can say is he seems to answer the most persistent more quickly & good things come to those who wait.

I've been nearly sold as well based on the success stories mentioned above.

However, lack of robust communication especially if something were to go wrong and also stories of strapping cash to ankles etc. doesn't have me at the level of outright recommending to others quite yet.

 

Taping my surgery money around my ankles was my idea not Dr Nader's. I am a cautious person & thought it was a good idea just in case I had to reluctantly hand over my wallet to someone on the right end of a gun or knife.

He gladly accepts other forms of payments, but cash gets you a 10% discount, which paid for my flight & put $300. bucks back around my ankle.

Does the communication part get better after you're an actual patient?

Because there are a myriad of guys here on HRN who say it's nearly impossible to get a hold of him and that would worry me for the patient's sake post-op if something were to go wrong.

Once He responded to my emails I was in constant contact with him. When I booked my surgery & sent my flight info he sent me his cell number & told me to call if I had any problems. He does not charge a deposit, I paid $5400 for my 3854 grafts with 3 nights Holiday Inn, lunch & medication included (his prices have since gone up,go figure).With that said & my very happy results, I believe I would have been crazy to go anywhere else.

I did my homework, this doctor is very professional & is everything everyone says he is.

I paid 3k for a little under 2000 grafts. Very happy with my result.

Eli,

Glad to hear your happy with your results.Haven't seen anything since your 4 month review. How about an update ?

I myself am pondering whether to go back to Nader or stay here local in the states. The trip was smooth and all but ny is far from Mexico and the thought of making it a one day process is very appealing especially with my schedule.

Mexico is just a hop skip & a jump compared to Turkey or India and a way better value when you subtract the high cost & time of overseas flights.

Staying in the states may be a little more convenient, you will have the look of more hair on you're head but definitely a lot less money in your wallet Lol Good Luck with what ever you choose.

Mrbob98 of course he paid Nader every time he had surgery. It sure would be great if you paid a surgeon only once for multiple surgeries haha.

 

BUT he meant grafts not dollars. It was more than $3000

Maybe I should have put grafts behind the 3000...Dr Nader's prices are great but not that low Lol.

Hello MrMatt,

 

Pictures are coming soon. But for now am gathering info about Erdogan. Apprecaite the question.

The last photos I posted of my HT, I used my webcam. The resolution wasn't that great but they got the point across. So post some pictures with your old camera, I would really like to see them as I'm sure so would everyone else.

Hello everyone,

 

Doctor Erdogan is in my list of doctors and am considering to see him.

How about some pictures ?

Since you're in Hungary, why not just go away? I mean, go to Turkey?

Turkey might be good if he really is Hungary.

Looks great MrMatt. I'm 2 weeks out from my 2nd Nader fue of 1800 grafts. I lowered my hairline even more and added density. HAIR GREED haha

Thanks! I'd wish you luck, but you don't need it, Dr Nader delivers & makes it easy to have "Hair Greed" I just wish I had more donor grafts to get greedy with! Lol

Good for your, man. It really is looking great, MrMatt. How long will it be between trips? For the 2,500 grafts, are you doing that in one day or two? Like you, I'm happy with my progress, but I'm going to need a second a trip and I'm wondering how long I should wait in between. I was 3,500 the first time over two days.

 

/pidds

I was planning to have this last procedure done this month of January, but things keep happening to stall it. Dr Nader can do 1 day sessions up to 3000 so I plan one day. One year post op should be plenty of time for you to see what areas need work.

Looking great, MrMatt! Like you, my crown is coming in slow. How many grafts do you think you'll get on your second trip?

 

/pidds

Dr Nader said I had about 2500 grafts left. Since this will be my third and final procedure I'm going to max 'em out in the spots that will benefit the most & grow old gracefully.

I liked most of Steven Seagal's movies, but his hair looks as ridiculous as his dancing. Evidently he doesn't know, so someone should tell him.

It is also a shame a person in such a discipline sport as martial arts would let his self become so "fat & sassy"
