As far as the consultation is concerned, Dr. Haber meets directly with his patients to discuss the entire procedure and answer any and all questions himself. I had a video consultation with him recently and was very pleased with the entire call. However, like many hair restoration surgeons, he does not perform the entire procedure himself.

I would love to see an update on this!

Not necessarily. At the end of the day, I think what matters are results.

I don't personally see an issue with a hair restoration surgeon offering other services. I want to know that they do good work, and lots of it.

I am considering scheduling my procedure (FUT, ~2500 grafts, hairline only) with Dr. Haber, but I'm having trouble finding much in the way of recent results on this and other forums. Many other doctors seem to have far more patients posting on the "Hair Restoration Results Posted by Patients" subforum (whereas Dr. Haber's mostly seem to be from about a decade ago), and they also seem to have higher-quality before/after photos on their HairlossLearningCenter.org profiles. I met with Dr. Haber recently and really enjoyed talking with him and felt confident, but I'm a little hesitant to schedule when recent examples of his work seem to be so sparse. Can I get some input or feedback to help me decide if this is the right surgeon for me?

I am also interested in an update!

I know it's only been a few weeks, but I would appreciate an update on your progress.

I did not know this. Thanks for sharing. Yes, her experience working with Dr. Konior is one of the biggest reasons to have her do the procedure. Money is an important factor, and I do only need hairline work done. Thanks for the recommendations! Dr. Konior is booked until sometime in 2024.

Oh, right! Thanks!

Sorry, what are NWs?

Thanks for the guess! I will try to find out if I don't decide to go with anyone closer to me. For an extra $2/graft, I'd probably just go with Dr. Nadimi, though. Same here. Really solid work. I think I'd be most confident going with her, but at some point, I have to draw the line financially (otherwise I'd go with Dr. Konior!). Added to my list! He's a little further away, but definitely still within driving distance. I believe I've read that his team places most of the grafts. I could be confusing with with another doctor, though. I'd definitely want the doctor I choose to do the work themselves as much as possible, and I know Dr. Nadimi extracts every graft and places them all herself as well. She told me she does more, but not in a single day. At 2,500 grafts, she says I will likely need to come in the following day to finish up (which I'm not a huge fan of, but I understand the reasoning). Cost is an issue, but more in the sense that I feel I should try to find the best value among top doctors, rather than pay top dollar for the very best, if that makes sense. I understand that I get what I pay for, though. Luckily, this site is loaded with information and first-hand experiences to help me make the most appropriate decision for me. Right now, my second choice is Dr. Haber. Some don't seem to like that he supposedly doesn't just do hair transplants, but neither does Dr. Nadimi, in fairness. Dr. Panine's work looks very good as well! Honestly, the only thing deterring me a little with him are the way the donor sites look. Those punch holes are no joke! I don't know anything about anything, but post-op donor site images from his patients just make me a little hesitant.

I've heard about them as well. Do you happen to know how they do pricing? It's weird that exact costs are not discussed more on this forum. I know they are subject to change, but it's a major part of the decision.

I am 36 years old and looking to restore my receded hairline, which is at about a Norwood 4 and has stabilized in recent years. My goals aren't unusual at all. I simply want to have more options to style my hair and be less self-conscious about wind and such when taking photographs. In my FaceTime consultation with Dr. Nadimi, she recommended at least 2,500 grafts (up to 3,000). This would put my hairline at about a Norwood 2, which I think I would be plenty happy with. I understand that Dr. Nadimi is one of the very best, having worked closely with the highly-regarded Dr. Konior for several years. Unfortunately, she is also one of the most expensive, and so I want to be sure I'm not overlooking a perfectly good 2nd choice of surgeon before committing to spend ~$25,000 on this procedure (at $9 per graft). What are the top recommendations for US-based (or possibly Canada-based) surgeons who offer FUE procedures? I'm willing to fly, but I'd like to avoid it. Someone in the midwest region would be within driving distance for me, e.g. Dr. Haber or Dr. Panine.
