  1. Background: Date of Surgery: March 11, 2017 Type of Surgery: FUE Number of Grafts: 2762 Age at time of surgery: 24 turning 25 Currently Regimen: 2% Rogaine liquid once per day My Story: My hairline started to slightly recede when I was 17 years old. Over the years, the hair loss continued. Within the last 2 years, my hair loss became very aggressive to the point where it became increasingly difficult to conceal my hair loss with side swept bangs. Selection of Doctor: After extensive research through reading forums, reviews and YouTube I decided to undergo FUE surgery with Dr. Diep. I had two FaceTime consultations with Dr. Diep. I never felt rushed during the consultation and appreciated the fact that during my consultations Dr. Diep took the time to answer each of my questions. Being from Canada, I have also considered two different doctors in Canada. What made me choose Dr. John Diep was his extensive collection of YouTube videos showcasing many of his dense and natural FUE results. Most importantly, Dr. Diep does the FUE extractions manually himself (so no technicians doing extractions) which made me feel comfortable because I would want a surgeon who specializes in FUE to do the extractions. Surgery Experience: I flew in from Canada to Los Gatos the night before the surgery. The next morning, I arrived really early to the MHTA clinic. The receptionist had me fill up some paper work. Afterwards, I met Dr. Diep and we had a discussion where Dr. Diep drew my new hairline. Everyone at the clinic was very nice, courteous and professional. After the hairline was drawn, I took some medication pills and they took my blood pressure. The surgery began and l was done at around 5:00PM. Overall, the surgery was painless and I didn’t feel anything. Dr. Diep gave me a kit that contained antibiotics and pain medications. The next day after the surgery, I came in for a hair wash where the nurse would wash my hair and show me how to properly wash my hair. Then I flew back to Canada. Anytime I had a question, the clinic would respond to my e-mails in a timely manner. By month 2, I experienced the shedding phase where the majority of the implanted hairs fell out. By month 4, I began to see hairs sprouting. By month 8, I was very happy with the hair growth in the recipient area. Between month 8 and month 10, the density increased drastically. By month 12, I was very pleased with the results because my hair is dense and natural. I am very glad that I decided to fly out to Los Gatos to visit Dr. Diep. I can walk outside and if the wind blows, it doesn’t matter and I don’t get nervous of the wind blowing because I have a full set of hair now. If I need another hair transplant in the future for the back half of my head, I would surely select Dr. Diep as my surgeon again.
