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? -
Top 5 FUE/FUT docs, 2020 edition
JayLDD replied to whattheFUE's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
As a basic rule, the clear association here is that younger doctors + younger clinics are more interested in digital marketing. Not exactly a surprise. Various older surgeons have already established a reputation and therefore don't require the same level of marketing or are simply adverse to newer forms of technology, or don't want to invest in someone to manage this aspect of a business. As you say, many can't hold up to modern top Youtube surgeons so it doesn't make sense to contest against them. I would also consider that younger surgeons who have learned their craft from the most mod -
Top 5 FUE/FUT docs, 2020 edition
OliverAtom replied to whattheFUE's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Hair Clinics - YouTube Channels So I see some say that having a YouTube channel is just a marketing vehicle to get patients? Da!!! And, what is posting results in this or other Forums? It is completely the same. Marketing. Whatever we do in our lives in order that others, family, friends, coworkers can see and appreciate, that is Marketing! When we drive our BMW or Mercedes or Ford, we are Marketing ourselves having this status or the other ... nowadays, ALL is marketing because we are social beings and more than ever, we like to be appreciated, either at work or playing football with you -
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 -

Melvin-Moderator replied to Seniormido's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers

Do Transplanted Hairs Always Shed First
deitel130 replied to deitel130's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Found my answer. Looks like shedding of transplanted hair is common but just like shock loss of existing hair there are some who do not shed transplanted hair. Below article from Dr. Bernstein. Shedding of Transplanted Hair Shedding of transplanted hair is an almost universal characteristic of a hair transplant. This occurs because during hair transplantation a graft is temporarily stripped of its blood supply. As a response to this insult, the grafts shed their hair. Shedding of transplanted hair is noticed beginning one week following the procedure and continuing for up -
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

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 -
Search the forum for results from H&W and compare with Your other choices. From what I have seen over the years is stellar results from H&W and in the cases of FUT practically invisible Scars. Beautiful hairlines too. Not taking anything away from Bernstein though, they did pioneer FUT. -
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 -
Hey all, I've been a viewer on this forum for a while, but I'm feeling a little lost with my hair loss decision. I am a Norwood 4 or 5, and have been losing hair since I was 20 (I am 31 now). I've been told by several doctors that the crown is a lost cause, but that they would recommend a 3k to 4k FUE session to restore the frontal hairline and work back a little from there. (2 pics attached). I had scheduled a transplant with Hassan and Wong but it'd been delayed several times due to travel restrictions and I am guessing I'd have to wait another year before a surgery in Canada would be -
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

Been 14 years since I been on here
Melvin-Moderator replied to tony71's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Wow Tony, you’re an OG. I’ll let @Pat - Community Publisher know you came back. Very rare to see guys come back after so long. Now, technology, techniques have vastly improved since 2006. Heck, FUE is as viable as strip now, back in those days FUT was the gold standard. Don’t get caught up in the hype. Turkey for the most part is a landmine of hair mills. You’ve been given two excellent names. Eugenix a clinic in India has been making waves, there work on repair patients is remarkable. HDC as well, they’re both moderately priced too. That said, True and Dorin are STILL at the top of -
Accidentally Scratched Grafts Day 6
TorontoMan replied to DenverBuff1989's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
From a study done on graft security, I believe on Bernstein’s webesite but I found it through google nonetheless, your grafts are most sensitive within the first 5 days, and gradually it becomes harder to pluck them out. By the 7th-9th day they are completely secure and they even indicated that it would likely take surgical intervention to take them back Out at that point. So I would say you’re fine based on that, if all you did was scratch for a moment. You would also see the repercussions of it I’m sure. -
Hello everyone. I have been browsing this forum obsessively for a while. I feel I have benefited a lot from the awesome info here. Thank you! I have been considering a hair transplant (leaning toward FUT but open to FUE). I am 30 year old, NW3, based in NYC. I have met with Wesley, Bernstein, and Bloxham. They all recommend 2000-2800 grafts (FUT or FUE by Wesley and Bernstein, FUT only by Bloxham). I am still deciding between the three of them but just realized that there is really no need to restrict myself to NYC. Let's say I don't care about cost and am willing to travel anywher -
I think the forum needs and quite frankly deserves some clarity surrounding safe/unsafe extraction patterns, and how doctors are able or unable to ascertain this. It seems as though it is acceptable to nit pick at this particular Dr who isn't recommended on the forum, for his larger use of the donor region - however when other recommended clinics are doing exactly the same, its accepted that not all hair loss patterns are the same, and for some patients (and rightly so) who are NW5/6, surgeons are able to be a little more aggressive with the size of the donor area that they extract from. -
Dr. Bernstein?
Melvin-Moderator replied to indecision2020's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Dr. Bernstein is actually a pioneer, one of the original surgeons to develop follicular unit transplantation. He is an excellent choice, it’s funny you mentioned the Artas, I’m actually speaking to his partner Dr. Christine Shaver, we’re gonna be doing an Instagram live next week. You might want to join and ask her some questions. -
I'm sure it has been covered on this forum many times but which surgeon would you recommend if location and price is not an issue? For Norwood Grade IV, presumably around 4,000 to 4,500 grafts ideally using FUE (FUT doesn't look appealing). I have seen on this forum that Muresanu, Couto, Konior, Keser, Hasson and Lorenzo have been referred to as “super elites”. Is that all of the super elites in the world? What about Robert Bernstein in NYC? Who would you ultimately choose and why? (again ignoring price and location). -
I know they're no longer recommended here but realistically for FUE at this Norwood the only clinics getting anything close to full coverage via FUE are ASMED with Erdogan in Turkey as well as Lorenzo,arguably Couto although he tends to operate on patients without that level of loss and has at least 3 years on his waiting list. Bernstein is what I would consider to be part of an older, more conservative generation of surgeons that ultimately don't hold up to that present elite despite being important to the industries development. If you're a genuine NW6 your best bet would likely be to

1400 graft FUE FULL journey
Melvin-Moderator replied to Dangrowthfactor's topic in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Six months is early, but given the area that was covered, I think it's clear more grafts are necessary for optimal density. I would give it a few more months before consulting with other surgeons. A few on the east coast worth consulting with is Dr. Wesley, Bernstein, True and Dorin, and Bloxham. Although, i'm not sure Bloxham will agree to do FUE.- 134 replies

They probably aren't bad and fall into the very conservative HT Surgeon bracket along side the likes of Bernstein, Farjo, Carmen etc. That is not a bad thing in itself, but less likely to please younger patients. I had a quick look at some results and not sure I rate the hairline artistry tbh. -
So I think I have narrowed it down to Konior or Hattingen... Thoughts? Bernstein has been doing this for a long time but doesn't seem to get a lot of mention these days or am I wrong?
-
I’m sure you guys get asked for suggestions constantly, but I’ve been doing research on HT doctors for several months now (if you counted simply perusing photo galleries here and there, you could say years), and I find myself so indecisive in choosing one. Some background on me: I’m looking to get the transplant at 24. I started losing hair at 15, hopped on min at 20, added fin at 22, and I’ve seen no additional hairloss and even some gains over the last few years. I also wanted to get an eyebrow filled in a bit from a scar. Nothing too crazy, but it’s important to me.

Looking for recommendations
Melvin-Moderator replied to jlf2610's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I haven’t seen one negative review about H&W FUE. You have very different doctors there, bernstein is a pioneer in strip, Baubac is part of a clinic that sued us years back for not removing negative reviews. I would use this forum for a research tool and look at actual patient reviews. -
what is the outgoing price for FUE graft in USA compare to other countries. which clinic do you recommend. i am from connetcut. i got a price of $19 500 for 3000 graft in NY using the robot. I just want to know if is it to expensive ?
LonelyGraft replied to rica's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Artas is a huge no. Do a lot more research on this site/forum before you pull the trigger. Did u see Bernstein by chance? I believe he still utilizes artas.
