I will definitely post some photos for everyone soon. Thanks for the great support.

Hi Everyone, it’s been almost a year since my Last Post, and for some reason I guess my account got deactivated after being away for so long, tried logging in, and couldn’t. But finally I got my password reset and good to go. So here are some updates with my hair restoration journey. I FINALLY DID IT!!! I’m so happy so far, I am just under a year, and it looks so darn good. I had FUE hair restoration with LA Hair Clinic, and received 3734 FUE grafts, for zones 1, 2, and 3. I still can’t believe I went ahead with it, so surreal. Here is the breakdown. FUE w/LA Hair Clinic Singles 470 Doubles 1437 Triples + 1827 Total 3734. It was a long day, 10 to almost 11 hours, but I am so happy that I didn’t have to go 2 days back to back, and it was all done in a single session. I actually decided to go a little bit more on the graft count to cover a little bit more of my zone 3. I listened to some of what people had to say, and there were some great doctors and clinics, and I finally decided to try other places before I booked my date and placed my deposit. I consulted in Mexico, Canada and NYC. I absolutely agree that research is necessary, and I am so glad I came across this forum and the community, you guys have been very supportive in guidance. The day started with me having to come in at 6:30, I was running a bit late, since I was nervous the night before and didn’t really sleep well, but that being said I was only 30 minutes away from my appointment time. Started with the consent, which took about 40 minutes, then we went to the office for last minute questions. They gave me something to relax my nerves, which was great!! And next thing you know after almost 4 hours, we had our grafts!!! The worst part was the numbing injections, which they kept calling it freezing, and now I know why. Because the entire area felt like it was frozen, numb….I felt nothing. Then came lunch. Lunch was ordered from a nearby restaurant, I was given a choice of different menus, from Sushi, Argentinian, Brazilian, and I decided to go with a place called Malbec which they are know for their steaks. Yum Yum. It was delicious. Now, every time I go there, I think of my procedure date…. Flash backs….. It was amazingly delicious, I had the 24 oz steak… it was huge, but finger lickin good. Ok, back to my day. Next came the design, which took around 30 minutes, it was a collaboration between myself and Jacques. It turned out exactly how I wanted and envisioned in my head. I was even ready to show some photos of actors and my old hairline, but this was even better. Alright guys, next was incisions, which once again, freezing was given, but it was only for a few seconds (They kept saying keep your eyes on the prize) next thing I remember we were halfway through the incision. We were listening to music selection from classical to classis rock. Then after a quick restroom break, since I kept getting up to use the restroom, since I was given IV to keep me hydrated, I felt bad for constantly asking to use the restroom. But they took their time with me, and they were very polite, the whole team has an amazing sense of humor. They were very friendly and courteous. I am still in contact with them, and I feel as if I am part of their growing family. Then next came implanting, which took few more hours, a bit over 3 hours, and they kept complimenting me on my skin and graft quality. John, Michelle and Florina (I hope I am spelling it correct) were AWESOME and they have a really good chemistry together. There was one more individual, whom I don’t remember the name, (apologies for that). I went through 2 movies I picked online on demand, but never got the chance to finish the second one. Finally it was almost 7 pm, and we were done. I was at first nervous to look at the finished product, and it was so hard to keep my tears and emotions in. It hit me, I finally did it after years of research, and opening my eyes and ears to patients who have gone through the same journey. There is no doubt I recommend Jacques, Dr. T, and his team to everyone that is considering FUE hair restoration. I felt a connection with them the moment I walked in. But I still wanted to do my due diligence and do at least a few more consults before settling on one. BTW- all of my meds were handed to me, all of my vitamins and solutions/products for my recovery period. They even went as far as hiring a driver for me, to take me to my hotel. Now, just under my 12th month mark, I am already SOOOOO HAAAAPPPPYYYY that even if this was my final result, I would be more than satisfied. I have almost another 25% to go. IF anyone out there is confused, like I was, please do not hesitate to contact Jacques Abrahamian and Dr T, @ LA Hair Clinic. They are an awesome team, awesome is an understatement. They are outstanding, and know their stuff. Alright I’m craving that steak now, and can’t wait to be back in the area for my 12th month follow up, and hitting Malbec for that steak that I am so craving… Photos to come shortly… I am trying to keep a month to month log, atleast 3 months update is where I see the most difference…… I couldn’t recommend them enough. Great experience, and I am thrilled I picked the clinic that was right for me in everyway, you wont be disappointed.

I look into it htsoon. Thanx. But turkey is out of my reach. Also I'm looking strictly for FUE and local. And of course affordable.

Thanx FUE2014 but I heard bad things about people getting surgery in Mexico. Don't want to risk it.

I'm not sure what to do yet but I'm still looking. Im gonna make a appointment with Zeiring Medical and I'm gonna check out a couple more doctors and then I will make my decision. Hasson and Wong is too far I am trying to stay local and I really don't want to get the FUT. We'll see what happens. I'll keep you all posted. This is not easy... As far as the website they do have one as well. It's Los Angeles Hair Transplant Clinic

Ok so I just got back from a consult at this place in Pasadena. I found them on Google. They told me I needed 3300 to 3500 grafts and I was worried when they said that but when he told me the price per graft I was blown away! Has anyone heard of these guys? LA Hair Clinic? It's local and the price is amazing and they do the FUE and all in one day. I'm considering going with them. I saw some of their before after photos and it looked very good too. Has anyone here gotten their transplant with them? Please share your thoughts. Thanks!

Thank you Dr. Blake for your response but I am getting married next year and I want to get it done before my wedding and have results come in. I know it takes a year or more for the hair to grow. This is why I'm in a hurry. That being said I am here for that reason to make sure I don't make a mistake going to the wrong place etc. Dr. Blake, where are you located? Do you do the FUE and can you do it all in one day? Thank you for your help.

Ok so I can't travel it's just not practical to me unfortunately. But more so I've been seeing a lot of results from local surgeons that look great but I just can't seem to afford it for the amount of grafts I need. I wish I could pay those amounts here and get the results I want but I don't know if that's possible anymore. this is not easy... But I'm not gonna give up searching. Someone out there has to have an answer for me. Please.......

Does anyone know who the best surgeons are in Los Angeles? Anyone with experience? I also want the FUE and I think I need a mega session as well. I do not want to pay too much but I don't know what the prices are normally. 10 dollars or even 8 dollars seems like a lot for a mega session. That's gonna cost too much for me. Is there anyone that does the Fue for lower but has great results? I'm searching but not finding too much info on prices and I figured someone here can help me. Thanx

Thanks u for your messages. I'm not interested in flying out for my procedure as it would be a discomfort and hassle for me. Also in LA there are many clinics and surgeons already but I just can't figure out who to go to. I'm also getting the sense that many clinics charge different prices for the same work but I'm assuming they have more experience or they just do that because they built a reputation for themselves and they can at this point. Either way I have a budget and I need to stay within that range. That being said I have done some research and found some clinics nearby and I'm willing to post here what happens with them so people can benefit from my experience as well. Just my way of helping out the community I guess. also I have decided to not get the fuss and rather the Fue if I can afford it. I don't want the scar and it seems very harsh to me. I read about a few Drs and clinics and visited their sites and spoke to them and scheduled appointments. Wish me luck.

I'm curious if anyone here knows who the best surgeon/clinic is and for a reasonable price at the same time here in Los Angeles. I set up some consults and have been to one already but I was told to always get a second and third opinion so if anyone can point me out to some Drs or clinics here it would help me a lot. Thank you.

Hello I'm in desperate need of guidance and advice on what to do and where to go. I have been losing hair for the past 7 years and my front of my head is looking bad. It bothers me a lot and I'm getting married in a little over a year so I want to fix it fast. I did a little research and I know it takes time to see results so I want to get it done asap. Just don't know who and what and where to go. If anyone has gone through this already please help me. I live in Los Angeles and I want something affordable and effective at the same time. Anyone...?
