Age 26, Norwood ~3V + retrograde + diffuse thinning (including donor) Medication: dutasteride 0.5mg/day, foam minoxidil 1-2mL/night Hair characteristics: high contrast with skin, fine, straight Cost: 2.15 euros/graft which is a discount from 2.25 euros/graft because I agreed to provide them anonymized photo updates for their own use. Posting this thread is my own choice. Though, I wish clinics would offer discounts for patients to post threads from start to finish. I see nothing wrong with that. Also, I think the price has gone up recently. Hair loss timeline: 18 - Looking back at -

There are several surgeons experienced with asian hair. Asian hair isn’t particularly difficult, as it is straight. Have you consulted with some of the big names in NYC Bernstein, Bloxham, Wesley, True and Dorin? Take a look at our list of recommendations. https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Consult-a-Physician/hair-transplant-surgeons.asp -
I thought sharing my experience might be helpful to others and to show my progress so far. I am 38 years old and have fine hair. I plan to update monthly for the first year or so. About a year ago I started to think about getting a HT after gradual thinning for several years. I first started Finasteride Oct 2019. I discovered this forum around that time and looked at results and reviews of many of the recommended surgeons. I did not mind traveling or price in terms of limiting my options. I first sent photos to H&W and they said I would be a good candidate for FU -

Well, she may get on the list, but we unlike other places. We use the community input to approve all of our surgeons. She’s learning under Dr. Bernstein who’s a pioneer. -

hairhairhair2541 replied to hairhairhair2541's topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
I got the email back from Dr. Bernstein's office but it was from a Dr. Shaver who I guess works there? and it seems like I'd have to go for the paid consult either way. -
I noticed that Dr. Bernstein does not come up often in lists of top surgeons here. I have browsed a lot of photos of his patients. It seems to me that he is very good at using a small number of grafts to achieve the desired cosmetic effect. His recipient site creation seems very refined and strategic. Among the surgeons I consulted, he offered the lowest number of grafts. The only downside I see is that he uses the ARTAS robot to do FUE, which is something not recommended here. But other than this, if one wants a FUT with a conservative number of grafts, is there any reason he wo

hairhairhair2541 replied to hairhairhair2541's topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
I'm looking into the 4 NY doctors from here. Bernstein and True/Dorin want 175$ just to see me for the consultation. That's insane to me, should I really do that for each doctor? Is that normal? How do I know which one between them is the best one? If they're all elite coalition members. -
Hello - for a large FUT transplant, which Doctor would I be in the best hands of? Any factual differences? Christine Shaver of Bernstein, or Dr. Boden or Dr. Cohen? -
Do Hair Transplants Thin Over Time?
ciaus replied to Melvin-Moderator's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Its not just us laymen, even your medical researchers are very limited when it comes to resources and experiments. The Bernstein link is from almost 20 years ago with oddball transplants to eyebrows and legs. And the other link from last year is one study of only a 112 patients, from authors and patient subjects that look like they are from India, about as trustworthy as Turkey when it comes to getting botched transplants. There's not enough evidence supporting this to be on the typical guy's radar thinking about getting a transplant. -
Do Hair Transplants Thin Over Time?

@ciaus I don't think it anyone here has the time nor the will to endlessly debate anything. We are not medical researchers, we cannot perform any experiments, our resources are very limited. We can only provide information and hope that patients can use it wisely to make the best possible decisions for themselves. What is your response to these publications? https://www.jcasonline.com/article.asp?issn=0974-2077;year=2020;volume=13;issue=4;spage=292;epage=297;aulast=Kumaresan Abstract Background: The longevity of the grafted hair follicles -
Dear Visitors and Forum Members, I will be joining Dr. Christine Shaver of Bernstein Medical for an Instagram live session on (date and time). We will be discussing the pros and cons of FUE and FUT, how to manage your expectations correctly, and her preferred surgical techniques, i.e., DHI, lateral slit, etc. A little bit of background on Dr. Shaver, she completed her Internal Medicine internship at Yale University and dermatology residency at Drexel - Hahnemann Hospital in Philadelphia, where she served as Chief Resident. She completed her surgical fellowship with Dr. William Rass

I'm in my late 50s with female thinning hair. I've see one NY physician and he recommended 1800 FUT. This made my kinda nervous when he explained the length of the incision on the backside of my scalp. I have two other consults for a second and third opinion. Can anyone recommend a physician? Anyone has experience with Feller & Bloxham or Bernstein. -
FUT is usually preferred by women because it doesn't require shaving the entire donor area and the strip scar can be easily hidden since nearly all women will never cut their hair so short that the scar will show. I think Dr Bloxham requires shaving the recipient area, but I don't know whether Dr Bernstein does. You may want to check out True & Dorin in NY as they don't require shaving the recipient area. -
Both Bloxham and Bernstein are great choices. Dr. Shaver is a good choice as well.
-
Who was the Clinic you have already seen ? Feller & Bloxham/Bernstein are really good choices. Definitely worth considering either ! -
Hello my balding brothers, I recently decided to take the plunge. Earlier this month I booked a procedure date with Dr. Pak from NHI. However I am not able to find any patient reviews on this forum. Am I missing something? His reviews on realself are great, but that's about it. I would like to see some real patient journeys. Please let me know your thoughts on this. So i decided to consult with some more doctors. I have consults with Dr Scott Alexander in Phoenix, Dr Nadami (Konior) in Chicago and Dr Shaver(Bernstein) in NY. Which among these would you recommend? Just for -

TorontoMan replied to RMancini's topic in Hair Restoration Results Posted by Patients
Hi you're probably very new to the game. 99% of the time after you have a hair transplant, the hairs that were transplanted go through a shock as they've just been removed from your scalp for the first time ever with a lot of drilling and extracting. As a result, the hairs go through a recovery period called the Telogen phase, where they pretty much go to sleep for a bit. This is the cause of the shedding you see, which is hair fall that usually takes place two weeks to 2 months depending on the individual. This is VERY common for hair transplant processes, and we call it the "ugly duckling ph -
Hello there folks - long time lurker in this forum. I finally decided to go in for my procedure this week. I chose Dr. Scott Alexander in Phoneix for my procedure. I had consulted with a few other doctors as well, and all of them gave me pretty much the same recommendations (except one): 1. Dr. Blake Bloxham - 2500 - 3000 FUT 2. Dr. Jae Pak - 2000 - 2500 FUT 3. Dr. Sahar Nadimi(Konior) - 2500 - 3000 FUT 4. Dr. Shaver (Bernstein) - 2500 FUT 5. Dr. Hasson - 5000 FUE 6. Dr. Alexaner 3000+FUT I also tried contacting Dr. Gabel a couple of times, but didn't get a response. I

DR BERSTEIN OR BLOXHAM
Louisjams replied to Hairguyyy's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
One difference between Bernstein and Bloxham, IMHO, is that Bloxham has more pts with early hair loss and Bernstein has more pts with more advanced hair loss. Could see both as they are near each other or see the one whose pts look the most like you. -
DR BERSTEIN OR BLOXHAM
Louisjams replied to Hairguyyy's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Like a lot of docs, Bernstein often takes on a junior partner (padawan) few a few years before they go off on their own. Shaver is the current one. His last one was Wofeld. Still, Bernstein is getting up there any may be transitioning to retirement. If anybody knows one way or the other would be curious. -
this is really helpful. thanks again. you mentioned Dr. Bernstein in your earlier post, do you have any personal experience with respect to his scar revision technique?
-
thank you for your input. it sounds like Dr. Bernstein is pretty savvy with respect to strip scars. do you think he would be a good option for scar revision? with regard to having an FUE procedure to cover the scar, do you happen to know if hair grafts generally survive in scar tissue?
-
Most of time it's just the way our body heals. There would be no guarantee that the scar will not stretch again. The scalp laxity would have actually worked in your favor rather than against. Some people are more prone to stretched scars. There was an article from Dr Bernstein on scar revisions and how he uses staples and removes most but not all at 2 weeks. He either leaves a few in longer or removes all and adds a few more for some more time. I don't recall exactly. Instead of getting it cut open and going through the healing all over I would recommend you get FUE into the scar. You wou
