Autumn, I had a good experience with the Moser Clinic (based in Vienna, Bonn, Berlin). They use the same FU approach as the top U.S. surgeons. Very professional. They are certainly worth a look. Good luck.

buddyebsen, the price i quoted was the actual price that i paid to dr. epstein. i don't know why that price might differ from what his website says.

Rugger, To give you an idea, 2000 grafts cost $7,000. If you come from out of town, they discount it by around $300 or $350. For the quality, it strikes me as quite reasonable. Hope this info helps

i too was a patient of dr epstein. i'm at the 10-week stage now, so i should start seeing significant growth soon. i have nothing but positive things to say about his professionalism. his staff is superb as well. i'm sure he's one of the very best in the country. his pricing is reasonable too. good luck

if you're talking about jeff epstein in miami, i can recommend him strongly. very professional, state of the art, great staff, and efficient. i had a procedure done in december. i don't have the results yet obviously (too early), but the experience was a very positive one for me. also, the rates are reasonable. i find it nothing short of amazing that the best guys, like epstein, don't seem to be any more expensive than the butchers. good luck in your search

Thanks Frenchie, My experience seems to have been similar to yours. But I'm 10 days post-op now, and everything seems to have stabilized. You might be right in that some of what I thought were lost grafts were just extra tissue. At least I hope so.

thanks for the replies, but let me elaborate. i'm not talking about the shedding of hair. I knew from the beginning that nearly all of the transplanted hairs would fall out before they grew again. that doesn't worry me at all. what does worry me is that I lost at least 10 of the grafts (not just the hairs). I can tell because they look like tiny kernels of rice. I suppose losing 10 or 12 out of 2000+ is not too much of a problem, but I wanted to know if others had a similar experience.

i just had 2000 or so grafts from a highly reputable HT surgeon. I won't say who, but he and his staff were very professional, and I'm looking forward to the new hair growing in over the next few months. One slight problem though. I'm now 7 days post-op and I would say that at least 10, maybe 12, of the grafts have been lost. Is this normal? I'd be interested to hear what others have to say about this. Of course, 99%+ of the grafts are still intact, but I worry. Thanks
