About me: 28 Years old, started Finasteride in early-mid twenties. My crown has been very stable since then, though I'm not sure whether it was due to the medication or not. Finasteride, however, didn't do anything for my hairline, which has been slowly creeping back at the temples over the years. I first started looking into hair transplants in early 2020 out of curiosity. I was prepared to ruefully accept my hair loss since I viewed hair transplants as high risk and unnatural looking. I have to give this forum complete credit for reversing my opinions 100%. Research: I consult -
What an amazing head of hair man, i'm seriously envious. Thanks for sharing your review of Dr. Cooley, he's one of the best in the business hands down. -
We have quite a few options in the US, Dr. Konior, Dr. Cooley, Dr. Shapiro, Dr. Wesley, Dr. Gabel, just to name a few. I suggest looking at our recommendations and researching them here on the forum. Send multiple doctors virtual consultations, they're free. https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Consult-a-Physician/hair-transplant-surgeons.asp?sr=HRN

Look up @HTREGRETS here he had an HT with Cooley. He has a lot of good results here. I think Dr. Bloxham is great, both are good doctors. But Dr. Cooley is definitely more experienced.

If you’re in North Carolina definitely check out @Dr. Jerry Cooley he’s a member of our elite Coalition group.

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 -
Congratulations man, I hope you share your experience on here, and please tell Dr. Cooley I say “hi”

Grafts vs Total Hairs. Whats it all mean?
Mthwehwe replied to Mthwehwe's topic in Hair Restoration Results Posted by Patients
I'm a NW 5+ right now or on my way to be? I didn't think I was that far yet. Dr. Cooley suggested the 2500 grafts. Here I am 10 weeks post op. -
Hey everybody. Hope y’all are doing well in COVID-19 times. So I went ahead and did a hair transplant. Thought I’d post my results as the months go along. I lurked this forum for a while before deciding to get my scalp harvested. I appreciated the honest feedback/recommendations here so I thought I’d make a post so others with similar level of baldness/hair type can get an idea of what to expect with the # of grafts I got. I’ll update as things progress. Details: -31 years old -Had the surgery on 17/08/2020 - Started finasteride 8 months before FUE. See -
Hi everyone, I am 26 and have been on Propecia for a year now. Luckily, no noticeable side effects. I am considering a hair transplant and know that I will likely have to remain on Propecia (or an alternative medication) for the future. Right now, I am taking 1mg 3x a week as instructed by Dr. Cooley in Charlotte, NC. How have people’s experience been with being on Propecia and having kids? Do you stop the medication while you are trying to have kids? Should I worry about infertility? Thanks!

Dr. Cooley is an excellent choice. You’re in great hands 🙌🏼 Look forward to seeing your updates.

Hi Everyone, I am newbie to the forum and apologies if any of the questions are repeated. (I did searched previous posts but that raised more questions) Little bit about myself: 1. My Age: 33 2. My hair started thinning about 10 years ago and I used to use Minoxidil, 5% Topical Solution and Finasteride Pills. I took them for over 1.5 years and gave up on them as I noticed hair fall continued as soon as I stopped using them for even a week. 3. Since then I didn't took any care of my hair. (Probably a mistake but I just thought all solutions are temporary and transplant

FUE newbie questions
Repairpt replied to baldslacker's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Honestly, worse than the cost of the procedure was the repair and that's just speaking on the financials. It was emotionally devastating to have an enflamed, soon to be cobblestoned scalp with what looked to be doll hairs-plenty of 3s placed in a frontal hairline that looked totally unnatural-in a profession where I can't where a hat. I was 30 years old at the time of my procedure with Dr. Vories, and it was probably the most devastating decision of my life, which I'm paying for 5 years later. I would urge not to make the decision in haste, do your research. I checked out Joe Tillman's site s -

FUE newbie questions
Repairpt replied to baldslacker's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Hey, I'm a patient of Dr. Vories and Dr. Cooley's. Dr. Cooley repaired the work done on me by Dr. Vories-2000 fue that looked totally unnatural and scarred my recipient zone. My experience with Dr. Cooley was outstanding. -
First post ever. I was all set to finally start getting serious about booking an appointment for my first transplant after 13+ years of hair loss hell. Research over the last 6 months was wild. I'm a NW4/5 with a highly recessed hairline (hello huge forehead!), badly receded temples and thinning throughout the rest. I've tried basically every medication there is except for Fin(Would rather not get into why, just know it's a decision I came to a long time ago). Currently using Minox and dermarolling. If my Father's family history is any indication I'll be a NW6 later on in life. Naturally

Good point. I saw a similar situation with a patient of Dr. Cooley and I believe they used electrolysis to remove that patch. -
I heard back from all three of the clinics I reached out to! Dr. Konior responded to me personally, which surprised me. After reviewing my photos, he said I do have a moderately advanced frontal hairline recession and that I'll need at least 3,000 grafts. He really liked the photo I had photoshopped as a goal (though I understand I should lower my expectations). He said my donor area looks healthy and that strip harvesting is my best bet. He said his fee for a restoration like this would be about $25,000, which came as a shock. That's definitely higher than I had planned to pay (almost d -
This year I decided I am going to fully commit to a hair transplant. I've been on Finasteride for about 5 months now and 5% Minoxidil for a little over a year (previously on a Min/Fin compound). I'm in my mid-20s and have already met with a dermatologist and a local hair surgeon, both of whom have said I've been a good candidate for a while. I have a bunch of questions and I'd really appreciate any help you guys could provide. I'm not new to this journey, I've been fighting this since I was 18. I attached some photos of where I'm at. I believe I'm a Norwood 3A. Does that sound right?

@hybonixI missed your reply earlier, so I'm sorry I took so long to reply. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I definitely agree the photoshopped image is a very unrealistic goal - and honestly - that's far more density than I've ever had. I was more or less just messing around with the results of one of Dr. Cooley's patients who had a very similar hairline to mine going in. Congratulations on getting your HT! From what it sounds like, SMG is exactly the kind of place I'm looking for. I know at the end of the day doctors are in the business to put food on the table, but

Dr. Shapiro and Dr. Josephetis have super reasonable FUE prices that are cost-effective when compared to H&W, Gabel, Cooley and the others. I saved quite a bit of money going to Shapiro Medical Group versus H&W, and SMG is top notch (cost was not the determing factor either, it was just another plus side by going to SMG). Melvin posted an interview with H&W and it's not all about the graft numbers, but how the transplanted hairs covers your skin to look less bald. Yes, more grafts will give you more density, but Coronal vs. Sagittal slits and other factors like size of hair fo- 56 replies

Thank you for the response! I definitely would say Dr. Cooley is at the top of my list right now. I set up a virtual appointment with Dr. Cooley in NC, Dr. C in Atlanta, and Dr. Konior in Chicago, per the recommendations of people on here and the Hair Loss Conquerors Facebook group. I also had a phone call with Doctor Anderson's clinic in Atlanta. They were very pushy to get me some more information on Exosome Therapy, calling it the "miracle the hair restoration industry has been waiting for". Any thoughts on it? In quick research it seems very expensive for something that might o

@Gatsby Has some knowledge based on what he’s gone through in his own life. Being young and making a decision based off money is never a wise choice. Now, are there good affordable clinics? Absolutely, but you need to research based on results and quality first and then weed clinics out based on budget. I’m not aware of the other two surgeons you mentioned, but Dr. Cooley is one of the best surgeons in the US. If he’s close to you, it’s a no-brainer. Check out his profile and look at some of the patient experiences/reviews. Those matter the most. https://www.hairtransp

Surgeons experienced with Asian Hair Transplants
azn_guy replied to gambit's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
note, there are differences, Asian hair might be thicker but there is less of it compared to caucasian hair, so it's important that the doctor is comfortable with that and understands where to place follicles., etc... Private Message me if there are questions you want answered and I can help clarify if you'd like! I have a pretty wide scar which Dr. Cooley tried to revise but it didn't work, so scar revision would be top of my mind for my future HT (in my case, steroids in that area will be super important) -
Have you consulted with any of these surgeons? I definitely suggest submitting consultations and speaking to each doctor. I’d add Dr. Cooley to that list.
