Alright guys, booked Dr. Pekiner, really excited for this, I pray that it goes well, and am really grateful for all the advice!

Ok I’ll make sure to ask him why the beard hair and relay what he says back here

Im open to suggestions, dont know very much lol. I will ask him concerning this. I didnt think it was preferable, but just a surgeons technique. Considering what ppl have to say about him I assumed it gets results.

I have and contacted them, unfortunately her wait list doesnt work with my schedule. She does seem like a great option otherwise.

Im NW 3-4 and this is my first transplant. I have read that beard hair can be really good for adding volume if its mixed in, plus leaves more donors for additional procedures. I am taking oral minoxidil and finasteride, but considering im 29 want to be prepared for a second round. As well was concern that the price might not justify the difference in quality, but based on what ppl are saying it seems like Dr. Pekiner is the real deal.

Ya you guys are right. I just have trouble comparing the results, dont have the eye to spot the differences. And the price is really different, wasnt sure if i could justify that. Will probably lean towards Dr. Pekiner though

Hey guys, im in the final phase of making a decision. Im in-between Dr. Yaman and Dr. Pekiner. Dr. Yaman recommended 4000 grafts, all from the back of the head in one day. Also he is way cheaper ($3250 all inclusive) Dr. Pekiner recommended 3800 grafts, back of head and beard done over 3 days. And is more expensive. ($10,000 not including hotel) It surprises me how different the two plan to carry out the same procedure with roughly the same number of grafts. Dr. Pakiner does the entire procedure himself, Dr. Yaman has a number of techs aid. I guess im wondering if there is a difference in the end result, both seem to be highly rated here. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks for all the help

Ok i think im in between yaman and pekiner, leaning toward pekiner at this point I appreciate all the help!

Hey took your advice, got contact with Dr. Yaman and Dr. Pekiner. (Drs Konior and Nadimi are out of my price range) Yaman recommended 4000 grafts, all from the back of the head in one day. Also he is way cheaper ($3250 all inclusive) Pekiner recommended 3800 grafts, back of head and beard done over 3 days. And is more expensive. ($10,000 not including hotel) It surprises me how different the two plan to carry out the same procedure with the same number of grafts. Also both of them and Nadimi recommended more grafts than the less known physicians I was looking into. I guess im wondering if there is a difference in the end result, both seem to be highly rated here. Thanks for all the help!

Appreciate the response. Yes that map is really helpful, ill look into more of the physicians on there. Its really just my work schedule that's causing trouble. Don't really get flexibility on time off and I really wanted to have at least two weeks before going back into work.

Hey, Ive been on the forums for a bit and finally decided to make an account and hopefully take the plunge for HT. I was hoping for some advice on a surgeon. Ive looked into Dr. Mark Berkowitz and haven't found much on the forums. Posts from 2014 felt he was new to the game, but at this point he has been around for a while and has a lot of examples posted, im just not sure if they are good or not. Otherwise I've considered Dr. Martin Maag in florida, he seems new to the field but he has a tech doing the procedures who has apparently been around for longer. Based on advice from this forum I am definitely considering Dr. Konior and Dr. Nadimi. I just don't know if they work well with my work/vaca schedule. If you guys have any thoughts, especially on Dr. Berkowitz (Michigan Hair Restoration) and Dr. Maag (honest hair restoration), I would greatly appreciate it! Really nervous to take the plunge
