hi there HTsoon - please read my original post carefully. all i know is that i just spent my post-shower time this morning - like i do every morning - piecing together the hair on the top of my head like Christian Bale in 'American Hustle.' and every morning that i do this, i think about the in-excess-of $15,000 Dr. Mohebi charged for this pleasure. i am now post-op 1 year and there has been extremely little-to-no growth whatsoever. i am reporting this simply for the newcomer here, per my original post. for the gentleman who is considering his first HT, who has possibly saved his money for a year or more to make it happen and is trying to determine whether or not he is choosing the right doctor .... contrary to what you see and read here, i am here to tell you these doctors ARE fail-able. an HT can go bad, as in my case. going with Dr. Mohebi turned out to be hair-suicide and i certainly intend to pursue every legal remedy at my disposal to recover my investment. i really have no other choice given the results i've been left with. this has caused a great deal of depression and heartache for me. i simply would hate to see another man go through something like this. as such, i have poked my head up here to offer an unfortunate but necessary perspective on this process and decision. i have had consults with 2 other highly reputable doctors in the last 30 days to discuss a 'repair' (although there is little to 'repair' in the traditional sense) - they both say the same thing regarding why this happened. and as i have mentioned several times, i have all the emails that were ignored by Dr. Mohebi and some that include his incredibly rude and evasive responses. I will not post them publicly given their value within the context of arbitration. that is on the advice of counsel. but i have them and that is all that matters. thank you again to those who seem genuinely sympathetic. i truly hope someone here can use this to avoid a similar outcome.

I have reached out to him several times over the last year, and I have the emails. Thank you for taking an interest in my situation.

see latest pic - is this what you would be happy with after thousands of dollars paid and 12 months of waiting?

hi there - yes, of course i followed up with him. i alerted him immediately to the pain related to the closure and then again in terms of how difficult the area was to heal. he was dismissive and rude to say the least, and blamed me for the poor healing - something about not following his instructions, which, again, i followed to a 'T'. it was very disheartening. when i realized there was a growth issue, i notified him right away and again, he was very dismissive. like i did not know what i was talking about, or i was not seeing right.

I did 2800 grafts with Dr. Mohebi last Fall - 10 months in I have zero growth. Feel free to PM me for details. Having had a successful HT prior to this one with a different doctor, I sensed from the first day of post-op there was problem based on how painful the closure was and subsequently how poorly the scar healed. At 6 months after the first procedure, performed 5 years ago by a doctor who is routinely complimented and held in high esteem here, I saw signs of growth and by month 9 (and on) the results were noticeable. No post-op issues whatsoever, and graft count was basically the same. I was on Finasteride for 1 year prior to the procedure with Dr. Mohebi and have remained on it since (almost 2 years consecutive now). I reached out at month 6 and found it very difficult to get the doctor himself to respond - I say this because I was reaching out to let him know I was somewhat concerned (only mildly at that point) that, at month 6-ish, I was not seeing any evidence of growth - like, none whatsoever and in fact it seemed like I was losing a substantial amount of hair. That was certainly a reasonable concern of mine at that point. After 4 attempts to reach him, he replied and blamed me for how poorly the scar healed and how difficult the post-op period was. I followed all of his instructions to a 'T'. What possible incentive would I have to do otherwise? Again, post-op after my first procedure was a breeze. He now says that the way I look at month 10 is due to shock loss. I do not drink nor do I smoke. I made no changes to my diet prior to or post HT with Dr. Mohebi and I have not taken any supplements/medicines of any kind other than Finasteride and Biotin. I am a public figure and will not post pictures here but feel free to message me and I'll be happy to share what I have. Today I went for a haircut from a guy who's been cutting my hair on and off for several years, although due to my schedule I had not seen him in about a year. He whispered 'what are you doing about your hairloss?' while I was in his chair. 10 months and $15,000 later. One other thing I'll say is that due to the poor/non-existent results from Dr. Mohebi's procedure, I honestly have to admit that it is really - really - depressing styling my hair each day now, because of what I'm now 'working with' as opposed to just one year ago. It's a real bummer to say the least. Although it may seem otherwise, this is not a take-down piece. Having had two procedures now, both with markedly different results, I am simply letting anyone know who is considering a HT, or a second HT, either with Dr. Mohebi or with someone else, to proceed with a great deal of caution. Again, the scarring, the intense post-op pain, the hair loss instead of growth and quite frankly Dr. Mohebi's poor attitude has found me in a very regrettable situation. Beware.
