Hello All,
I'm a 24yo male with hair with tight coils. I've been researching surgeons for a hair transplant for 2 1/2 years now. I started fin and minox and have had great results. However, it did not result in any growth. They really just halted my hairloss. I would say i am a Norwood3 right now.. Ive been quoted for approximately 2,000 hair grafts for approx. $9 a graft (seemed pretty steep to me) by doctor linkov located in New York and another doctor on the west coast where I am. I really do not want to leave the US for the procedure and am willing to pay a little more if necessary. My budget is no more than $12-$15000 at the max. For anything international I would have to buy two flights for my wife and I, a hotel, child care and we are both in Grad school which makes it hard to plan months in advance to coordinate everything. Best case scenario for me would be someone located in Southern California, however I would be willing to go anywhere on the west coast. I've look into Dr. Mohebi, Dr. Dauer, and Dr.Behnam, all located in Southern California. I've read good thing about Mohebi but people were saying he is at $12 per graft which is way out of my budget (Even the $9 a graft was a stretch for me). I havent seen any independent reviews of Dauer or Behnam to make me comfortable with picking them. Now that Dieps work has fell off a cliff , I'm having a hard time picking any doctor on the west coast. So if anyone has any suggestions to look into that would be greats. Located in the US and best case scenario on the west coast.
