Greetings...
As I posted before I was suppose to have my HT last Monday April 16th with Dr. Epstein in Mimi, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning I noticed the degree of professionalism displayed by everybody, from the person that received me at the front desk to person that walked me out to my car by the end of the day. Last time we were discussing in this forum that due to my level of hair loss the suggested 2,700 grafts by Dr. Epstein were probably not enough, because I had a good donor area and good scalp laxity and the possibility of going for a bigger session was there, however Dr. Epstein explained to me that since I was still young and didn't take any medication to prevent hair loss before, it was very difficult to predict my future hair loss and that for that reason a conservative approach was needed at this time. Dr. Epstein also explained that he does not divide up follicular units and that is why he can obtain great density results without claiming unrealistic mega session. By the end of the procedure he was able to give me Graft counts as well as hair counts; below I have listed all the numbers as well as before and after pictures.
Total Grafts: 2,888
940 ??“ 1 hair grafts
1540- 2 hair grafts
408- 3-4 hair grafts
Recipient sites: 0.6 ??“ 0.8 mm
Dr. Epstein is a great professional, that takes a lot of pride of his work and that showed me great ethics, I'm happy that I choose him for my procedure. Thanks to all you members of this forum that helped me make my decision and that took the time to answer all my questions, this is a great community and I'm honored to be part of it.
Best Regards
