How many people worked on your surgery? That's a very large session.

If you want FUE and want to stay in NYC, then Dorin and Wesley are the best surgeons. Bloxham basically only does FUT and Bernstein used artas, which sucks.

I'm going to tag @DrTBarghouthi. His work is consistently excellent.

No. He definitely does a lot of repair cases though. @HappyMan2021said it well.

Interesting. I have heard that cortisol levels increase for long operations. I've noticed most ethical/good surgeons perform like 2,000 to 2,500 grafts max FUE on a single day. One of the surgeons I consulted with told me he stopped doing higher graft cases in a single day because a patient had a seizure (this was done by another surgeon and he thought higher cortisol levels contributed to the seizure). This is why I'm so leery of a lot of Turkish clinics that do mega-sessions in one sitting. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6587638/#:~:text=However%2C cortisol levels increase in,secretion markedly increases after surgery.&text=Surgery and trauma can also affect the circadian rhythm of cortisol.

2-3 days for 2,500 grafts sounds like a lot of time. Why would it take to long?

I agree with you. That was the whole point of my post buddy.

Can you tell us how much you get paid?

Yes, he is very underrated. I had a consult with him and he was extremely meticulous and detailed.

Definitely interested. Thank you for sharing.

Definitely reach out to @DrTBarghouthi. He's in Amman, Jordan and his work is stellar.

I think the best more with less grafts surgeons, in no particular order, are Konior, Gabel, Dorin, and Charles (this list is just my opinion).

Glenn Charles in Florida. Mohebi in California. I can personally attest to Dr. Charles' excellence since I had surgery with him about 12 years ago and will be getting my 2nd surgery from him soon. No shave FUE is a lot tougher and takes a lot more time.

I've seen lots of cases of people going abroad for stuff like cosmetic work and other things and getting botched. Once they get home, their health insurance won't cover anything as a result of the botched job.

Konior, Gabel, Charles, and Mohebi. I went to all 4 for my consult on my case and they were the most thorough. I probably consulted close to a dozen surgeons.

From what I have seen, H&W use too many grafts. There was actually a recent result posted showing this and I've seen other results too from them. Out of Rahal and Bisanga, I'm not sure who is "better." Both are excellent.

From what I have read, doing a few FUT sessions and then going the route of FUE yields more grafts over a lifetime. I don't know if this still holds. Someone else can chime in. Both these surgeons are great.

I think in the hands of a great surgeon about 1,500 for the crown can be down. The 2,500-3,000 grafts for the front makes sense. Yeah, oral minoxidil is better. Have you tried finasteride? If not, get on finasteride ASAP.

To fill in the sides and front and to advance the hairline a little is about 2,500 grafts. I think the crown needs about 2,000 grafts. Have you had any consults yet? If so, what did the surgeons say? Are you on oral minoxidil? How about finasteride?

Looks like clean work. Those are some great surgeons you picked.

Zarev. The guy is a unicorn. Not sure he even exists haha.

Looks completely natural and clean. Great result.

I had my surgery on Monday with the same thought as you thinking that the surgeon, nurses, techs would be fresh.

What are your goals? It looks like 2,500 grafts would be enough and would bring your hairline down appropriately too.

Definitely. I've noticed H&W use too many grafts in their cases. The results look great. However, another surgeon can get similar results using like half the number of grafts.
