He said I need to make an appointment so he can look at it. He said that in some cases they may do some grafts for free. I don't live in that town so I will have to find time to take a vaca day and drive up there. I agree there aren't a lot of recent results. My experience is that I wouldn't recommend him, which doesn't mean there aren't other people who had a good result from him, but that's mine. I think if you look at the graft spacing to begin with they weren't very tight compared to others. And then on top of that they didn't all come in. I literally have spots where I have 2 hair grafts out in front almost by itself(pic 2), and you can see how thin all of the hair in front is in comparison to my original hairline. Even if he were to offer more grafts, I'd have to trust that this time it works out better, and even then I'd have to go thru 2 recoveries for results that could have been acheived in 1.

I don't recall him elaborating, just that he couldn't place them closer. He does do a lot where they don't shave their head, particularly with females. Even though he doesn't only focus on transplants, he said he does about 150 transplants per yr and has been doing them for decades, so that's why I wasn't concerned about experience or being rusty.

This is what I'm thinking. I think best case scenario I get money back. If he offers to touch it up, I'm worried about going back to him. And even then I will have to go thru the recovery twice when it should have only been once.

Thanks for the offer. I can reach out and update back what they say.

I went with Haber. I just posted earlier my update if you go in my profile and check my recent post you can see my results/lack of results. Things have not turned out well.

Me posting this is the first thing I've done. Everyone would probably just say wait 12 months if I posted earlier. I've read many posts of people worried about growth on here and on reddit and everyone says that. But now I.I near 12 months, so definitely mostly know what I got out of it. Have you heard of doctors who give refunds?

Sadly, I am not joking lol

Here are some. To be clear I was already worried about density from the start. He said he couldn't place them closer cause it would be hard for them to grow if he put them too close. But I think from the start it wasn't as dense as many others have from the start. Also I think the right side had higher density than the left from the start.

The transplant was 10.5 months ago with Dr. Haber and it was 1,300 grafts. There wasn't a lot of area below where my original hairline was that he added grafts, but I would say maybe 10% of those grafts have grown in. In the last pic, below the green line is what was added and you can see it's just sporadic hair here and there. And that pic is a close up of the front, on the left side, almost none of the hair grew in below my original hairline. Behind the hairline that I already had I can tell that there is some density added, but it's harder to guess what percent of those grafts grew in because I already had most of my original hair there. Overall, I would say there is a negligible to slightly noticeable difference, but definitely not worth ~$10k and the recovery. It sux because I think I was in a lot better starting position than a lot of other guys beforehand and many of them seem to have pretty big changes, even from one transplant, but mine made things just slightly better. At least not a lot of grafts were wasted. It was estimated they were going to do closer to do 2k but only did the 1.3k, so they definitely weren't trying to rip me off, but the results are just not great.

Vaz430 thanks

@Melvin- Admin Okay where do I change my display name? There is a change option next to email and password, but not next to the display name

@Melvin- Admin How do I delete my account, change the account name or delete a post?

I am in the same situation. 7 months after and I'd say maybe 10% have come in. No new hairs even poking through in a lot of the area where grafts were placed.

How do you Delete your Account on here? And are you not able to delete just a post you made?

After the extraction I saw that the screen counter they had said 1,350 grafts, but when I got the letter saying how many they used it said they used 1,300 grafts. Would a Dr ever not use all of the grafts they pulled? There's plenty of room for more grafts. Also, I felt like they were rushing, like not wanting to answer Qs, things like that.

Thanks, hope you're right. I'm worried at the least the one side will be noticeably thinner.

I know that. But I'm asking if you look at the day 3 amount of grafts, do you think that even if 100% of them grow in that it won't be very dense? Also with the day 12 pics, I hadn't had any shedding yet, although maybe some just never grew to that point, but with the day 3 pics I feel like it's pretty obvious that at least the one side is going to be relatively thin wven in best case scenerio.

Does this transplant look like it is lacking density? I feel like most pictures I see of others look like the grafts are cleary more densely packed. Particularly one side looks like the grafts were more densely placed than the one side.

Hey, how are your results coming in? I know it's still early but are you happy with them so far?

Thanks for the info.

Thanks for replying. Did you do fue or fut? After consultation did you have any follow up questions and if so how'd you get a hold of them? I had a consult and then emailed with a couple of Qs but no response. I guess I will have to call, but I'm also not sure yet I'll go with him yet.

How did yours go? I am considering Dr Haber.

What is your transection rate with FUE vs his FUT procedures? Do you place the site in the recipient area before donor extraction to reduce time the hair is out of the head?

After you've had a consultation with a doctor and you have more questions that you didn't ask during the consultation, do most doctors answer these if you reach back out to them? Has anyone done this?
