I am in Dallas, TX. I consulted with Lam, Arocha, Lee at Restore, and McGrath. I chose McGrath because he was president of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery, and he's been around a long time. I went in for 2500 and told him to take what he could for front and mid. His tech got 3000.
The whole procedure was easy, only issue is I have a herniated disk in my neck and even through the drugs after 5 hours I was pretty uncomfortable. Had I mentioned it they probably could have made some mods to the chair. Whole thing lasted from 8am to 4pm.
Cost was ~$15k.
