@Melvin-ModeratorDo any of the recommended doctors here use ARTAS that you know of?

There's been several lawsuits against the company and I've never heard any positive feedback about using it.

@selem banza Have you done a consultation with both doctors? Have you reviewed pictures here and talked to patients of both? Those are good starting points to help make your decision.

Can you share pictures? We can't really give input unless we can see what stage you're at and how you style it.

I understand your concerns as I had them myself. However you seem to have been very diligent in your research and looking at others results. I'd encourage you to be optimistic, stay positive and ask your doctor questions if you still have any. Are you going to a reputable place? If you take the necessary steps and educate yourself on the process and after care, you'll have an awesome result in the end.

Wow he sued because someone used his image. Maybe it was a good thing I didn't do it huh haha although, there is no copyright infringement for critiquing for educational purposes. Just sounds petty to me. 

Agreed. They definitely have gotten their money's worth from advertising the billboards, tv ads, busses, trains etc

When Tory Lanez was talking about the strip procedure, the first thing I thought was this guy doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. Terrible, terrible advice. I should have mentioned the infamous billboard guys in Chicago too lol

Haha Urlacher filed a lawsuit against Restore.

Thank you for this. They always make it seem as simple as going for a checkup.

Those f***in' billboards! 🤬

I wait for the day when they're all gone. I'd love to see their advertising budget.

If you're looking for good places to go in the Chicago area: Konior, Nadimi and Panine are the best options.

Stay far away from Restore, it's a huge hair mill like Bosley. I'm assuming you're in the Chicago area correct?

Talk about clean. How are you feeling?

Your donor looks very good but you'll need to confirm that with a doctor. The majority of us on here are former transplant patients or are in a similar boat as you with deciding to get one or not. An "expert" would be one of the doctors listed below.

@Gatsby said it well. You've been hard on yourself through your postings. Your result looks fantastic so far and he's right about it taking up to 18 months to fully mature. I was fortunate enough to be a quick grower but there were still changes that happened. Don't rush getting a second transplant, your result turned out great.

Your not a patient person 😂

It looks really good overall

You picked an excellent surgeon to go. This is going to be a great result no doubt. Please keep us updated on your progression.

Here's a link where you can contact approved doctors here for a consultation.

You can start with your hairline and then do your crown later if a megasession isn't feasible now.

Where are you located? Hasson & Wong are excellent for megasessions.

Did the doctor tell you that amount or are you guessing? Where will you be going?

Here's a good starting point but don't let distance be the deciding factor:

I'd agree with you. How many grafts are you needing?

Getting my crown done by Dr. Konior in January. If I can get even half of your crown results I'd be in heaven! 

Your crown looks a lot better than mine when I started so you'll be a great candidate! Please document it! Not enough crown cases on here.

Looks very normal. Keep being patient.

Here's a good starting point:
