Hi All, I am age 53 and basically looking to get my hairline lowered by about half an inch at the middle of my forehead and maybe as much as a full inch at my temples. I have been doing some research on the current state of the art for hair transplants in 2021. Due to an existing medical condition, it would be inadvisable for me to undergo any kind of elective surgery where prophylactic antibiotics are required, as they could worsen my health condition. Therefore, I am looking for a surgeon who uses a minimally invasive surgery with sterile technique, and probably not too many grafts in a single procedure. I am attracted to Bernstein in NYC for that reason (his website and one of his online postings state that prophylactic antibiotics are generally not necessary and he has a good overall reputation) but would prefer to find someone with similar capabilities in Southern California closer to where I live. Any suggestions on how to go about finding this most efficiently? I would be a lot more comfortable going to a clinic where antibiotics are generally not prescribed to any patients because the surgeon is confident they are unnecessary given the techniques used, rather than a clinic that routinely prescribes antibiotics but would make a rare exception.
