Dr. Bernstein,

Thank you for sharing this very interesting update regarding advancements in robotic surgical hair restoration! I have taken the liberty of publishing this information to our Hair Transplant Network News blog.

Dr. Robert M. Bernstein Presents Advanced Robotic Hair Transplant Techniques

Beautiful hairline! I'm sure he's thrilled with the outcome.

I think your hair looks great! The texture of your hair really helps to mask any differences in density.

That's a truly "wow!" result. Looks great from every angle.

Many balding men opt to use medical hair loss treatments in order to slow the progression of male pattern baldness and regrow hair.

Currently, Propecia (finasteride) and Rogaine (minoxidil) are the only two clinically proven and FDA approved drugs for the treatment of genetic balding. Finasteride comes in tablet form. The prescribed dose for the treatment of MPB is 1mg. Minoxidil comes in both a liquid and foam and is applied directly to the balding areas of the scalp.

In the case of hair transplant surgery, drugs are not necessary to maintain the growth of the transplanted hair, as it is harvested from the permanent donor supply at the rear and sides of the scalp and should, therefore, continue to grow for a lifetime after transplantation. However, these medical treatments are are still highly recommended by hair restoration physicians as a complement to surgery because they help maintain preexisting hair.

It's important to note that these are treatments and not hair loss cures. Results vary from patient to patient. If you're interested in learning more about these drugs, follow the links above, use this forum's search feature or consult with a recommended hair transplant surgeon.

Hope this helps to answer your question!

I don't really notice any difference after 12th month. The thing which is bothering me a lot is that the structure of my donor hair is thick and curly. I have so much trouble of styling my hair every morning. It's like antenna everywhere.. Still thin in left side.

It's not unusual for transplanted hair to have a kinky/wiry texture. Mine was like that with my first two transplants but it eventually calmed down and fell into place.

Congratulations on your choice! Dr. Bisanga, as you know, has a stellar reputation. Sounds like a solid plan. I'm looking forward to following your journey.

Best of luck!

Very happy for you! Dr. Umar takes on some extremely challenging, "lost cause" cases and your video shows a truly life-changing transformation.

Congrats!

This is a very natural and dense looking result. She must be very happy.

Very impressive!

Lovely design and perfectly natural appearance!

Great result! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.

Super clean work and a great design! You're going to be a happy camper. Good luck!

Parts of Europe and Asia are extremely competitive in terms of price and, when choosing from among recommended hair transplant surgeons, on par with Western standards of care.

I recognize that traveling abroad for surgery is not for everyone. However, my experience traveling to India for surgery with Dr. Bhatti was great. Two years down the road I can barely remember the actual time spent in planes and cars.

I am not informed on the rates charged by all of the physicians we recommend. It stands to reason that some will have to charge more than others based on location, overhead, etcc.

I suggest starting with the physicians whose work you admire most. If you like you can always schedule online consultations and compare their plans for you, results and fees.

Always best to go with the doctor you're most comfortable with and if you can't afford that doctor today, wait until you can.

Congratulations! Not at all surprised to hear that you had an excellent experience with Dr. Cooley. Looking forward to the pics.

I suggest consulting with Dr. Cooley prior to applying anything to your donor scar.

Transplanted hair always comes in in stages. It's not unusual at this stage. You're only at the very start but the next couple of months should bring big changes.

Happy Growing!

Thanks for sharing your hair transplant experience! You've come a long way! Congratulations!

Looks like it was planted with good density. Should blend well with your natural hair. Only time will tell for sure.

Best of luck! Please keep us posted on your progress.

Thanks for keeping us updated! This is where the fun begins! Looking forward to future updates.

Happy Growing!

Amazing result for this gentleman! Not a hint of hair loss remains.

Sound advice from all above! I don't see the value in pursuing hair transplant surgery at this time. Give the meds some time.

This is all very good and honest advice. Did he discuss the value of starting hair loss drugs like Rogaine and Propecia in order to maintain your existing hair?

This is a great looking result! Some guys can really pull off the more conservative/receded look. It didn't work well for me and I ended up lowering my hairline two more times before I was happy.

I say, if it looks good and the patient is happy, why not? It not only saves money but leaves much more hair in reserve for future balding. The option lower the hairline later as I did is always there.
