thanks Acrobaz, That's what I told em. Just when the question came up......I was like......ya know....Im not sure there is a way or is there?

Strip is just more efficient and less expensive and proven. The only advantage to FUE is the lack of scar if you you decide to go bald again?? As far as the docs you are consulting....one consider what you want to accomplish(crown, overall outcome) I have not heard of Pak, rosanelli, and I believe Armani had some troubles on here. Second, this is permanant so pick a top rated Doc.... Feller, cooley, epstein, shapiro etc... you can't go wrong. 2. consider your location.... obviously less travel the better if meets all your other needs. 3. Is fast healing an issue..... then cooley is your man. As many others shave your head. Cooley also being a dermatologist has a special solution to prevent scabs and speeed healing. So all in all depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

I just finished my surgery three weeks ago. Many have contacted me from my blog. One person asked me "How do you know you got the number of grafts they said you did?" I did not have an answer for this one. Any help? Next, will minoxidil increase time till new growth.... or only new growth in crown area... or will it not help speed up growth at all and in that case do not start until you see what you get from the transplant.

yes this is my first tp- two weeks

Is it worthwhile for me to add Minoxidil? and if so the foam? generic?

Dr. Cooley gave me. What shampoo is safe to use now, then 3 months down the road, then 6 months and so on.

Sorry Latin lotus I meant Hair Hope. I am glad the Cooley patients on here are validating me.

nm315 good luck today. Latin lotus I am not sure who did your work, but I can honestly say today my 2nd day out I am feeling no pain!!! I only feel tightness and pressure where they cut me. As far as dentist, I did not mean the cleaning. I meant when they drill and hit a nerve for cavities. that has always caused me to jump even with Novocaine on board. The only thing I felt with Dr. cooley was the numbing shots that were like a small pinch. Let me also say I work in the medical field and have witnessed many procedures, and operations. Froms spinal fusions, to colonoscopys and have had colonoscopy on myself. I can honestly say this was and still is less painful. My blog is up and I hope to add to it today or tomorrow because I think my healing is going extremely well. I am using Dr. Cooley's spray hourly.

I just finished with Dr. Cooley yesterday and to say he exceeded my expectation is an understatement. 1. Dr. Cooley place nearly all the grafts himself 2. I asked him for his recomendation for my hair and he nailed it and offered me a choice just where I had a question. I went totally with his recomendation 3. His repuation is great and his live work again exceeded my expectations. He was so diligent he stay working on me until about 8 to 8:30pm for 3000+ grafts 4. Because he is a dermatologist he has special solutions to advance the healing+++++ 5.There was no hard sell totally patient focused 6 I experienced no pain. going in I expected some pain. As I told Dr. Cooley over and over again this was far less traumatic than a visit to the dentist. i was amazed 7. they rolled out the red carpet....Hotel, lunch where I wanted and put movies in for me all day long that i recomended. 8. His bedside manner is great and he keeps you abreast at all times of how things are going. 9. Lastly he is a perfectionist. There are areas in your life you do not want a perfectionist, but when it comes to permananent work on your head a talented perfectionist is precisely what you want. I am so excited today( the day after) I still have no pain and can't wait to start my blog real soon. I hope this helps some who are on the fence. I still can't believe its done.. I need to pinch myself

date scheduled next week with Dr. Cooley.

date scheduled next week with Dr. Cooley.

so what does cooley charge ?

anyone know what Dr. Epstein charges? I also notice he is recommending about 500 more grafts than two other highly regarded surgeons. Is this because he is more aggressive with the hair line? I am middle aged and do not want to look like a high school kid?

what is the strength of Dr. Epstein vs. Limmer and which is overall better ?
