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 -
Dr. Cooley actually repaired a patient, a guy who was so adamant against hair transplants, and after he was so happy. A real feel-good story on the forum I’ll never forget. Check out his story @HTREGRETS -
I want to maximize my donor availability in case I need more procedures in the future as I have a family history of hair loss (though not severe NW6/7 type). My surgeon has a great record of very fine scars, and I generally wear my hair mid-length anyways so it should be practically undetectable. Finally, I think that FUT simply produces more robust grafts Thanks a lot Melvin - you've been a great source of guidance during my research. My surgeon is Dr. Cooley who I selected after numerous consultations and viewing no less than 1,000 hair transplant result photos. I sincerely hope you' -
Dr. Umar in L.A doing great repairs with NW7 that have depletion on donor, I'll check more about Dr. Cooley -
Luckily for him he had it repaired by Dr. Cooley. I don’t believe he was on finasteride, but some Norwood 7s are so sensitive to DHT that finasteride does little to stop hair loss, at least thats what @BeHappy said. Not perfect, but a big improvement

What protein powder do you use?
ADuckwithNoHair replied to Nounours's topic in Physical Fitness Issues
You may want to avoid creatine as it's been linked to an increase in DHT. Also, according to Dr. Larry Shapiro and Dr. Cooley, whey protein concentrate is better for hair than isolate (link to small sample study). I have no experience with either of these though. -
I wasn't going to post anything, but given that this forum reaches so many people that are ultimately making a life changing decision - perhaps some context as to why who you choose matters might be useful. I'm in my early thirties. About 7 years ago I had a consultation with Dr. Rahal in Ottawa (with him in person) - at which time I had A LOT more hair and he had indicated I was not a good candidate for HT surgery and I was sent off. I was pretty devastated, and over the years the progressive loss became worse to the point where I decided to try his clinic again to see if technolo -
Shapiro Recommendation?
hybonix replied to hybonix's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Thank you for all the help. H&W is my first choice, but I believe the Canadian border won’t open back up until Spring of 2021 at this point. American cases need to dramatically decline for Canada to even consider Re-opening. So, I will opt for Dr. Ron Shapiro. Cooley and Gabel were on my list as well, but Shapiro is legendary on these forums and has many many years of experience, so I feel comfortable going to him now. I also like his work, but I’ll start a new thread once I make the final choice. I cannot wait until I share my results as they are going to be dramatic. -
How many grafts? FUT or FUE?
ADuckwithNoHair replied to dooooder's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I've said something similar to this before, this forum leans conservative on recommending hair transplants which I generally support. However past the requisite amount of caution, those considering a procedure also need to know the potential benefit to their personal situation. Yes @dooooder has good hair already, but there are trouble spots that he wants to improve on and which CAN be improved on. This forum would have told this Dr. Cooley patient not to implant between grafts, or to stop completely after his first procedure, but he did round 2 and now he has movie star hair. Same for this Dr -
I am on day 4th from my FUT with Dr. Cooley. My experience on the day of the procedure is similar to the one posted by UKLad81 at I would like to add some notes about Dr. Cooley and his clinic: I currently live in California, I had the choice of clinics and doctors locally (convenient) or remotely (some cheaper e.g. in Europe) however, I felt that most of them followed the same sales pitch "we are top...you need x grafts...when should we schedule your procedure?" Not with Dr. Cooley's office, I talked to Ailene and she patiently explained the options and why FUT was better -
Studies on finasteride dosage
ciaus replied to Moses121's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
yea 1mg is what they found would still give the hair retention benefits, so they got a drug patent to sell you less of the same drug for more, calling it propecia instead of proscar. https://www.keeps.com/learn/finasteride-1mg-vs-finasteride-5mg “There are dose-ranging clinical studies that show finasteride 1mg is just as good as finasteride 5mg,” explains Dr. Jerry Shapiro, one of the Keeps medical advisors. “So there’s no reason to prescribe a higher dosage.” In other words, finasteride 1mg is wholly sufficient. Finasteride 5mg will not help you treat male pattern hair loss a -
patient experience Dr Cooley
ps 13 posted a topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
I m 8 months post, hair transplant with Dr Cooley from Charlotte Nc and would like to share my experience, I had a previous surgery with another Dr in NC about 5 yrs ago and I can honestly not give you an opinion because he was no where to be found, 2 nurses performed the surgery, the Dr was in the other room working with the other person. Two observations about my interactions with with Dr. Cooley, # 1 you can tell he truly cares about people and is a genuinely nice person, # 2 , I m. at 8 months post and satisfied 100%, and still have 4 months of growth to go. The staff was top notch, he -
patient experience Dr Cooley
Melvin-Moderator replied to ps 13's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Dr. Cooley did an amazing job 👏🏼 -
I had a bad FUT procedure done last year 1000 grafts into the front and temples of my hairline. I also know that hair transplants are permanent, so I know there is no way to get these grafts off without some semblance of scarring. The question is, how bad? I had a consult with Dr. Cooley and another and both agreed that the grafts can be removed almost scarring would be minimal But I have googled this subject pretty tiresomely and what I have found on the internet is not so optimistic. There are not too many pictures that show successful FUE graft removal surgeries. I see a lot of graft -
Hasson and Wong, Dr. Ron Shapiro, Dr. Gabel, Dr. Cooley, Dr. Konior, Dr. Charles. My doctor was Dr. Diep, he also performs strip. Take a look at our photo gallery, there are plenty of female patients, and if you see some results that impress you, feel free to click on the doctors profile and submit a free online consultation. https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Share-info/hairloss-photos-female.asp

I highly recommend the Cooley Hair Center in Charlotte, NC to anyone seeking a top notch procedure. Dr. Jerry Cooley and all staff were highly professional, caring, and take great pride in helping patients achieve a successful hair transplant. I am five months out from my FUT procedure of 2600 grafts and I could not be happier. Dr. Cooley created a natural hairline in the frontal area and increased the density in the crown area. Also, he injected Exosomes in the crown area. From the very beginning in the consultation thru to the surgery, Dr. Cooley and his staff were always making sure I -
Going to do Exosomes treatment. Okay to DC Finasteride?
Mycroft replied to Style22's topic in Hair Loss Drugs
@Melvin-ModeratorI have seen some decent results shared by clinics so far, but your comparison to PRP isn't far off. If you visit Dr. Cooley's site his description of Exosomes is essentially that they're a greater concentration of the beneficial elements one would find in PRP, which generally leads to faster (if not stronger and faster) results. I've been keeping tabs on the treatment because of my favorable PRP results. Even a "boosted" PRP might be great for my specific case. I have been debating an experiment myself but as you said the number of favorable results thus far isn't quite there -
Why doesn't he get more love on these forums? I haven't seen any major issues brought up, but he is never put in amongst North America's elites like Dr. Konior, Shapiro, Rahal, Hasson , Cooley. Etc.

My List of HT Surgeons
RecessionProof replied to Moses121's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
The surgeons listed in this thread are pretty much the top names in North America. Might want to check out Dr. Cooley as well, his work always looks solid in videos. -
This website is such a great resource for research and finding top notch hair restoration surgeons that ironically I'm very stuck on where to go among good choices. I'm currently 28 and seeking a surgeon for an FUT procedure. I've been quoted ~1500-1800 grafts for hairline repair by multiple clinics (I have photos posted on an earlier thread: here) Dr. Carlos Wesley - Completely raised the bar on the quality I thought was possible for interaction with the provider. Extremely responsive, attentive, and detailed. His results are superb and, reviewing his research and credentials, I believe

Getting better every day! All work was done to frontal hairline. -
Great names, Have you consulted with any of these physicians through our online consultation form? If you submit a consultation we can then reach out to the doctor and make sure you get an estimate. That said, you have excellent names, different levels of experience and different areas of expertise. Are you leaning towards FUT? I think Bloxham is a great choice for FUT, but if you want FUE, he probably wont recommend it. Dr. Wesley is top notch, highly skilled at both FUE and FUT. I'm always impressed with the appearance of his donor areas. I follow him on Instagram, and he see

looks like you need another mega-session based on the balding area that needs to be restored, since you've already had an FUT procedure, I would look into that again to yield as many grafts as possible - Dr. Blake Bloxham, Konior, Shapiro, Hasson & Wong, Dr. Cooley, Dr. Gabel - just a few I would be researching and talking with -
You've been given good advice, never base your decision on cost or location. Always go by results. There are some quality surgeons in the South like Dr. Arocha in Houston, Dr. Cooley in NC and Dr. Vories in SC.
