Time to pull the trigger
SD1984 replied to SixHouse's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Any top doctor in the US you are going to be paying at the very least a whopping $6 a graft. Bring it to NYC with guys like Bernstein or Dorin and you're looking at around $8 a graft. To my knowledge Rahal is still a top guy in the field, yes. Is money an issue for you? Bc if so there are a few great docs overseas who specialize in FUE these days. Bruno Ferreira in Portugal is an up and coming doc who goes great work, Dr. Freitas in Spain, and the same can be said about Dr. Bicer in Turkey. Then there are the regulars in guys like Demirsoy and Pekiner who are at the top of their class when it -

Either Dr Bernstein or Dr Shaver are excellent options ! Trawl through the forum and you will find a lot of results for Dr Bernstein, and fewer for Dr Shaver (his protege) -

Damn it looks like Dr Bernstein does robotic FUE, I thought the best way is for manual FUE?

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 -

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 -
There’s no such thing as undoing a hair transplant. You will be left with scars, depending on how deep they inserted the grafts. You may get pitting. Best to stay calm and see how the results pan out. You may be satisfied. Making an impulsive decision got you in this position. Making another impulsive decision can get you worse.

Thanks Dr. Khokhar for pointing this out. Dr. Bernstein is indeed experienced and well informed in the field. Nonetheless, I have not come across cases of hair loss or hair follicles death in the many sutured scars that I saw or was involved in. I can see that a tight running suture might cause that if the wound is approximated in a single layer or if there is too much tension on the skin sutures. However, the general practice with sutures is a two layered closure using deep absorbable sutures at the level below the follicle, and a superficial running suture for the skin above the follicles. -
Interesting. I've never heard or seen this based on my convos with surgeons. I've heard from some surgeons that they prefer sutures since they think it can approximate wound edges better than staples and hence the scars won't be visible nearly as much from FUT. But I've also seen work done with staples where the FUT scar can't even be discerned. I wonder how common of an issue this is. Dr. Bernstein definitely knows his stuff well and I trust him. Thanks for sharing and I'll ask around from some surgeons what they think of this and get back to you. I'm in training so I'm always looking -
correction, it was from this website, it looks like Dr Bernstein is an elite coalition member. -
This patient with salt and pepper hair was a 57-year-old male when he came to Bernstein Medical.

If you are ‘terrified’ of a non life saving medication, then you probably aren’t suited to taking it. Everyone is unique and individual - some value their hair as the be all and end all, others want it, yet aren’t prepared to sacrifice or potentially sacrifice other areas of their life in order to try and preserve it. All you can do is read, research, and consult with relevant doctors who understand the drug, it’s pathology, and are able to assess you accordingly. The mantra of ‘just try it and if you get sides stop’ is all well and good, but the acknowledged tiny percentil -
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 -
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

The Hair Transplant Network recently interviewed Dr. Christine Shaver, Head of the NYC Division of Bernstein Medical – Center for Hair Restoration. Dr. Shaver is a board-certified dermatologist and performs Robotic FUE and FUT hair transplant procedures, which brought a uniquely qualified perspective to this conversation. During the interview, Dr. Shaver answers the following questions: What are the advantages and disadvantages of FUT vs FUE? Patients can come in with unrealistic expectations for hair transplants. How do you manage this and help give patients the best outcomes

According to @Bernstein Medical grafts are secure at 7 days, if scab-free. If there are scabs present, they’re secure by day 9. They have a study I shared in this video. sunscreen is a good idea until 6 months.

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? -
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

Thanks for the replies. I just wanted to make clear that my intention was not to say that one procedure is superior to the other. That was why I used quotation marks around the word "better" in my first post. But after reading the first post again I probably wasn't as clear about that as I wanted to be. After digging a little deeper it does appear that FUT is still an option among some of the better clinics that I know of. I was just a little surprised to notice that it appears that some clinics are going exclusively with FUE. I happened upon Dr. Robert Bernstein's website out of Ne
