Judging from your pictures, yes your hairline was improved by the second procedure, but in my opinion Dr. Mohebi did not utilize your grafts wisely. Considering you had a larger area to cover, he should have been more judicious in adding more coverage to the midscalp area. I think Dr. Wong or Dr. Konior will also be good alternatives, but they are quite expensive. If price is not a limiting factor I would ask to consult with them and see what they think. Dr. Ferreira from what I have seen is an ethical and reliable doctor. The results from this patient, in my opinion, are quite good: https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/56111-dr-bruno-ferreira-3659-grafts-28th-29th-of-january-2020/ Also, I would do a consultation with Eugenix as well, they seem to specialize in high Norwood repair cases and have produced some great results. It wouldn't hurt to inquire what their opinion is. If you have decent beard donor and maybe chest as well, Eugenix is particularly good at incorporating those into the crown, which can make a significant cosmetic difference. I would go for FUE though because I think it will be hard to get full coverage with your next transplant. I would aim to go with a buzzcut look that at least frames your face, with decent coverage on the rest of your top. Because your hairline is good I think you can pull this look off and be pretty satisfied with your results, maybe adding some light SMP between some gaps to just add a hint more illusion of coverage. -
@asterix0 Dr Ferreira said the same thing. He doesn't think i got 3500 grafts on my front. i think my 1st FUT for 1500 grafts wasn't successful so i went for my 2nd HT via FUE with Dr. Mohebi. You can see the before and after below. I think he improved my hairline but yes i feel like i should have more density for 3500. I'm hoping my 3rd HT would help address my mid scalp and some crown. Dr Lorenzo wouldn't take me as a patient as he thinks my donor isn't enough but Dr Ferreira who works with him said he would be able to make significant improvement on my head. He's the only doctor that has been in constant contact with me via email and spoke to him for 45 mins by phone. I can't say I've had this much professionalism with any doctor I've contacted so far. @JohnAC71 Have you heard of anyone being able to improve laxity with doing exercises? i'm scared if it would be to tight after another FUT. Also, my concern is the strip won't have as much grafts since i've done FUE before, any thoughts on that? -

Excellent job Dr. Mohebi, this result looks incredibly natural. Looks like the head of hair god intended 🙌 -
I have an upcoming consultation with Dr. Parsa Mohebi. I've been looking on his website but there are no pictures in the gallery section that showcase the back of the head post surgery. This seemed kind of suspicious to me - other surgeons like Dr. Diep showcase their results from all sides, so I'm wondering if there's anyone here who has any links showing these results or if they have results themselves they can share. Thank you!

LA/OC area surgeons
Melvin-Moderator replied to a's topic in Hair Restoration Results Posted by Patients
In LA there’s Mohebi, not sure about OC to be honest. In San Diego theres Dr. Carman, who’s highly rated. In SF area there’s Dr. Diep, who was my surgeon. -
Advice needed: LA hair transplant
Sam818 replied to oscar rob's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
LA is a horrible place to get a hair transplant. If you are dead set on not leaving LA then Mohebi is your best choice but he isn’t cheap. The term “you get what you pay for” doesn’t really apply in cities like LA. In my opinion you should do yourself a favor and get on a plane outta Burbank and take the short flight to go see Dr. Gabel. -
Advice needed: LA hair transplant
Melvin-Moderator replied to oscar rob's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
In Los Angeles, I would definitely check out Dr. Mohebi, I visited his office last year and I was thoroughly impressed. He has some good reviews on here as well, he is involved in every part of the surgery, which is important, and he performs simultaneous extraction and implantation. https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/physician/California/Parsa-Mohebi/647 Now, on price, it really depends on whether you choose FUT or FUE, and how far you want to lower your hairline. I would say over 10K in LA for sure. -
Realistic Cost, Risk & Recovery
Melvin-Moderator replied to Taken4Granted's topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
Lists are just starting points for research, if you’re in So Cal, I think Dr. Mohebi is an excellent choice. That said, never limit yourself to geographic location. What are your goals? Are you aware that you will eventually need more HT’s are you okay with that? -
Sean Behnam and his twin brother Ben are really nice guys. They treated me decently after a bad experience with another doctor in LA even though my appointments were always rushed. I went to them for help because of their dermatological background. As for hair restoration I can’t tell you that I would trust them with that at all. As for Meshkin, I don’t know anything about him other than I saw him get interviewed on the news after Kobe died because Kobe was his neighbor so he must make a ton of money to be living there. I met Dr. Mohebi, a very nice guy but he didn’t really help me at all. He gladly took my money for the consultation fee though. I would honestly avoid so cal completely if I were you and you don’t even live here so there’s no reason to focus on doctors here. Good luck.
-
Overall, I am very satisfied with my experience with Dr. Mohebi. I recommended him to a friend of mine recently, and I would personally consider going back to him in the future for a second operation when I need one. -
Dr. Meshkin was removed way before I was ever a moderator, so I don't know for sure. Sounds like you're trying to stay in the So Cal area, I would definitely look at Dr. Mohebi if that's the case. That said, never let location be the deciding factor.
-
Yea, there’s a really good tool that I saw firsthand with Dr. Mohebi, it was the trivellini system.

I had a "Celebrity FUE" procedure at Dr. Parsa Mohebi's office yesterday in Encino, CA. This is my initial post and will detail my journey with this procedure. I will continue to post occasionally until the final result is achieved. About Celebrity FUE / Unshaven FUE Procedures For those who don't know, "Celebrity FUE" is the term Dr. Mohebi has used to describe what is also known as a "non-shaved FUE procedure." On his website, he details both that this is a non-shaved procedure, that "the Celebrity FUE technique allows patients to keep their hair long during their procedure." I have attached screenshots of these statements to this post. At this time of writing, there is also a video on his Celebrity FUE page which says, "we don't cut, trim, or shave any hair." Why I Chose Dr. Parsa Mohebi As a public health professional, my top priority is to conceal my hair transplant from my patients while also getting good results. I had initially booked an FUE procedure with Dr. John Diep, but Dr. Diep told me he would need to shave the baby hairs on my hairline to implant the grafts. Although I admired his results more than anyone else I had seen within the US, ultimately, his statement led to me canceling the procedure with him. After reviewing many, many other surgeons, I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Mohebi., who I had bookmarked from my prior search - specifically because he offers a "Celebrity FUE" procedure. It was the most expensive of options I could have chosen, but concealing the transplant was critical to me, even if the results might not be as ideal to me - as long as it was good enough. Another selling point to me was that he said, as he does on his website, that "80% of transplanted grafts will already have your longer hair." During the consultation, I was assured like the videos that there would be no cutting of my current hair so that I could completely conceal the transplant. Additionally, when I asked Dr. Mohebi if he performs the surgery himself, he said straightforwardly said "yes." He reinforced that the grafts would be of my longer hair and said I would see a good preview of what my hair would look like after the full results were achieved. Not only was this attractive to me because I could conceal the transplant, but also potentially pull off a more enhanced hair look for the first month after the surgery. Surgery Day / The Experience The meeting I had with him in-person the day before the procedure went well. We examined my loss pattern with a microscope and determined the density of various areas, particularly the donor area. I showed him pictures of my hair loss progression over two decades (starting at 16 years old, I'm now about to turn 36). We created a long-term plan for my hair restoration that included potentially rebuilding the temples at some point (though not necessary) and thickening the crown and vertex at a later date when it is needed. When I arrived the next morning to begin the surgery, he asked me if we could trim my baby hairs around my hairline. Whenever anyone says trim, it means literally to trim - not shave or buzz off. Even though I did not give consent to this on the written forms, I said yes verbally because I knew he was indicating that doing so would provide optimal results for incision and inserting the grafts. He then told me there would be a few ladies assisting him during the procedure. I imagined these assistants would help with graft harvesting and counting. Once I was in the chair, I was sedated with laughing gas and one Valium. Once sedated, he requested "the clippers" from one of the technicians and buzzed off about a half-inch all around the hairline on my crown - my hairline now resembling an old Nicholas Cage. I was not happy, but it was too late, I was sedated, and there was no point in pulling out at this point. Once I was fully sedated, Dr. Mohebi used his syringe to provide me with good local anesthesia as needed. The pain was more minimal than a regular injection you would receive from a lab technician doing bloodwork. Dr. Mohebi then began extracting a number of grafts from my donor area using a tool that made drilling-like noises - the puncher, I assume. I do not believe this tool was used on extracting all of my grafts, and Dr. Mohebi himself did not extract all of my grafts. After a short period of time, probably around a half hour, and while my head was now positioned down facing the floor, I stopped hearing his voice but felt the work continuing. When I asked what was happening and where Dr. Mohebi went, the four female technicians said "he has left to do other things while we catch up for him with the graft removal and placement process." This process continued, largely without Dr. Mohebi for the remaining 9 hours of the 10 hour surgery. The female technicians continued to chat with each other thoroughout the surgery. Dr. Mohebi would check in about once every two hours for about five or ten minutes to see how things were going, usually to administer more local anesthesia (I assume the technicians are not able to do this). Once he came in and rotated a couple of grafts that one of his technicians had inserted for him, I heard him say "these here need to be turned around." I was not happy with this process since I was told he would be conducting the surgery and there was no mention of technicians who would essentially be doing the whole procedure for him - technicians whose credentials I have no knowledge of and that I was not able to evaluate prior to my surgery. It is my understanding that all graft removal and placements are critical to the outcome results of the surgery. I would say Dr. Mohebi was in the room for a total of less than one hour for the ten hour procedure, and often for only 5-10 minutes at a time, usually to administer more local anesthesia. I did not vocalize my unhappiness during the procedure. The last thing I wanted to do was cause a stink while a group of people are operating on my head whose mood/focus I might affect. But I was not happy. A significant amount of the hair that I use for coverage of my temples had been buzzed off, and the process of the surgery was not what I was told it would be. I could have seen Dr. Diep for the same offered procedure (a buzzing of my baby hairs with FUE grafts) for thousands of dollars less and more density/grafts! The extra precautions I had requested be taken with Dr. Mohebi to conceal my operation and keep my hair have not only been been compromised, but disregarded when the doctor knew this was my top priority. Additionally, though he told me in an email prior that 80% of the grafts would contain my longer hair so I could see a preview of the results, he said at the end of the surgery that only half of the implanted grafts had hair. The hairs that were there were not my full length either, so it seemed pointless to me that we did this method of a procedure at all. The procedure itself was not painful. The four female technicians were very polite, though it did bother me that I had no idea they would be performing the surgery and what their experience/credentials were, if they were rented assistants, etc.... There were a couple of bad (i.e. mildly painful) punches that happened on occasion, but it was so minor that it barely registered. The most uncomfortable part was the pressure on my forehead from laying forward for a long time, and my hands/arms would go numb from laying them underneath my chest. I took three breaks in total throughout the 10 hour surgery - one of them for lunch, and the other two to use the bathroom. In total, I received 1567 grafts. Of those grafts, roughly 338 were triples, another 950 were doubles, and 279 were singles. I was given Valium, some extra strength Tylenol, and Prednisone to help me through the first days of recovery. Next Day Follow-up Meeting In my follow-up meeting the next day, one of the technicians from the surgery showed me how to wash my hair for the next four days. I felt the post-operation procedures were explained to me thoroughly. Finally, I met once more with Dr. Mohebi for about 10 minutes. I told him that I had a comfortable surgery experience with minimal pain, and that I was looking forward to seeing how the results turned out, but that I was very disappointed with how much of my hair was buzzed (not trimmed), which would compromise the concealing of my hair transplant, and also that I didn't appreciate how he told me he would do the surgery but in the end his technicians did. Although I could tell he was trying to remain professional in his response, he was quite defensive. At one point, he told me "I was there for most of the procedure, you just didn't see me because your head was down." I told him I knew this wasn't true because I heard every time he entered and left the room, and that I confirmed his absence with the technicians. He looked surprised. He then told me at least he did all of my graft extractions and incisions. I told him this was also not 100% true, because the technicians told me they were continuing to do extractions for him while he was gone. He then told me it was in my best interest to not have him insert my grafts anyway, because "I am not good at graft insertion. When I try to do it, my technicians laugh at me." I believe he continued to minimize his role in selling me on a procedure that did not meet our shared understanding and agreement. Finally, he was able to say: "I'm sorry. Thank you for your feedback. I will certainly consider it in how I advertise this procedure going forward." I was calm and rational with him throughout this conversation, but I was pretty upset with the accruing dishonesty made by this man, further reinforced by his responses to me during the conversation. I made my point clear though: I was lied to about the details of the procedure. My remaining hair looks drastically different and will not provide the coverage or natural lift as an unshaven head would have provided to conceal the operation, which is what we were going for. Far fewer implanted hairs are in place, and the ones that are look out of place. He told me he would be performing the surgery. He did not mention it would be completed by technicians nor that he his involvement would be minimal, let alone that he is "not good at graft insertion." I paid $21,000 for this procedure. I could have achieved 2000-2500 grafts with Diep for the same process of a procedure (and he was honest with me about it). I believe I was sold with a bait and switch approach here, and that hurts, given how much trust, vulnerability, and investment goes into this process. Had me told me from the first consultation when I asked him my questions and said, "we may need to shave part of your hair for optimal results, and my technicians do most of the work," then I could have made a more educated choice. I'm more than sure he was aware of this. These doctors are salesmen and marketers too, not just surgeons. Having said all of this, I do look forward to seeing how the results come out. I really do. I like the hairline that Dr. Mohebi drew for me. In 12 months I am hopeful that I will feel happier with my appearance than I do today. If the results are good, which I am hopeful they may be, it will be a significant improvement to my self-esteem and long-term concerns about my hair. But it doesn't change the facts of what happened, the bait-and-switch tactics, and the enormous additional cost to have a procedure done that did not do what it said it would do or performed by who said he would perform it. The procedure itself was not painful. What is painful is that the top reason I chose this particular procedure and to pay the incredibly high cost for its specialty approach was pointless. Not to mention the emotional pain of putting my trust, vulnerability, and a high premium financial investment into a procedure that could have been replicated cheaper and with an outcome that I believe would have been more desirable. And so regardless of my final results here, which I hope are good, it won't erase the reality of what has transpired here. I believe that I had the right to have the realistic process explained to me given my questions, concerns, and priorities for having the procedure with Dr. Parsa Mohebi. I will continue to post and update on my progress over the months ahead. I have attached pictures for exhibit of what is currently advertised as a Celebrity FUE procedure on his website, along with an email exchange, and pre-op pics of my hair and now post-op pics of my hair. While it is too late to go back in time, and although l am upset and have lost more money (and potentially though hopefully not compromised my results), my hope is that for those of you reading this you will realize how important it is to ask every little detail about the procedure. Even when I asked "will you be performing the procedure?" and received an immediate and straightforward "yes," it was later minimized and defended post-op by him saying "but I was there." We need more transparency and honesty in marketing. When it's not there, one cannot help but wonder why.

I was 28. I went to a new hair stylist for a haircut, and he had the audacity to trim all the loose/wispy hairs from my receding hairline that up to that point I hadn't even noticed. Ignorance really is bliss sometimes. Lol. Once he cut them and I realized why (he was trying to make the receding hairline less noticeable), it's all I could focus on. My anxiety went through the roof, I thought my life was over, and I proceeded to spend hundreds (and eventually nearly two thousand) dollars on miracle serums and solutions trying my best to reverse the hair loss. Obviously, that didn't work. Two years later, I discovered hair transplants, Dr. Mohebi, this forum, etc. and the rest is history. -
How long until the surgery is not noticeable?
pkipling replied to efbb88's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
My experience with Dr. Mohebi (and his amazing staff!) was fantastic - from the consultation to the procedure to the post-op visits. I'm not sure what the wait time is at the moment (especially considering everything going on with the Covid-19) but I imagine its several months. When I booked mine however, I asked him to put me on a wait list should anyone cancel last minute and that I would take their spot, so I actually had my procedure a couple weeks after my initial consultation. Happy to discuss more on the phone if you're ever interested. Just shoot me a private message and we'll exchange contact info. -

Acne after Transplant
pkipling replied to tesla007's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
As mentioned above, it's completely normal. I was advised by Dr. Mohebi not to pop them and to come into the office if I had any I needed them to safely pop for me - but of course I couldn't resist and did it myself anyway. If you do feel compelled to do that, make sure your hands are clean/sterile to prevent bacteria and infection... But again... Don't do it. -
I agree with Melvin! Nice done...Dr. Mohebi. I'm sure your patient was quite pleased. -
Hey there! Dr. Mohebi's rep here. He's based in LA but he does have an office in SF and works from there a few times a month. And you're instincts are spot on: A consultation should be much more thorough than what you mentioned, and you'll get way more than that with Dr. Mohebi. (My own consultation with him years ago is what really made me feel great about choosing him as my surgeon.) You'll discuss with him one on on your own personal history of hair loss, your family's history, what your ideal goals are, determine the quality of your donor area, how many grafts you approximately have to work with, and will do a miniaturization test as well to get a good idea of how much thinning/hair loss you have and predict the pattern it may be heading in. Then he'll draw a hairline/design on you, give you an estimate of how many grafts you need to achieve the results you want, and together you'll decide on an optimal game plan. It's a very thorough, educational process. Feel free to reach out to me personally if you have any questions as well!

Bay area, CA. Submitteda an appointment form for Dr. Mohebi actually, and waiting to hear back. His website says he has an office in SF but I do know he's based in LA, so I'm not sure how that works. I'vealso heard that Dr. Rassman is good for this? Might be worth a trip down. How about H&W or Gabel, is this something they do? It truly blows my mind how many people go into these procedures blind given the wait-lists and how few people post on these forums.
