Wow so glad you had a positive experience, definitely makes me feel more confident going in. My whole thought process is that this is a long game and you have play your cards right from the get go. Happy to here that is also how Dorin likes do business with his clients. Would you say that even after your first transplant that the density was still miles better then before hand? More or less were you afraid of wind and water as much? My hair is very thick and falls forward so layering should be very easy for me.

Matt, thanks for the write up appreciate it! That top crown photo is no topik and under intense white light. Finasteride saved my crown and I have no intentions of touching that for some time. My overall goal is to get a solid hairline and then go on from there. Dr. Dorin from my research is one of these conservative, more with less, kind of doctors who tries you use the least amount for the biggest change. That’s why I am considering him first for this surgery. Also from my research he tells most patients that you will need a second surgery so I’ll be sure to ask him about what a second or even third procedure could look like.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hello everyone, I am a 25 year old who has been dealing with hair-loss since I was around 17. First with temple recession and then some loss of the crown. Around the age of 22 I began taking both finasteride and minoxidil and with that came some positives. I was able to strengthen my crown as well all the hairs in the rest of my scalp. Recession in the temples slowed down and even some regrowth was seen. Fast forwarding to the present I feel like I’m finally at the time to consider a transplant. I am soon to turn 26 and have been on medication with little too no sides and stabilization. If I had to assume I’m a Norwood 3 at this point. I have a consult with Dr. Dorin in the next few weeks and am trying to get an understanding of the overall opinion of him. Some on this forum praise him for his hairline design and donor management while others believe he delivers abysmal density for the price. I am more or less looking for peoples honest opinions of his work that are more recent. Also I would love to know your opinions on recommend graft count as well as any questions I should ask Dr. Dorin.
