Dr. Konior or Mohebi?
pkipling replied to goozer's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Hey Goozer! I'd be happy to talk to you about my own experience with Dr. Mohebi and what drew me to choose him as my surgeon to begin with. And even serving as his patient representative, I also agree that you can't go wrong with either decision and commit to speaking candidly and openly about his practice and everything he provides. I'll reach out to you to answer any specific questions you may have. -
Dr. Konior or Mohebi?
Melvin-Moderator replied to goozer's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Both are great surgeons, I’ve met with both personally. I actually visited Dr. Mohebi during live surgery and filmed it. In my honest opinion, you can’t go wrong with either. Both fully involved in all aspects of surgery. -

Disclaimer: I literally had my hair transplant days ago on April 9th 2019, so I don't have any Before/After photos to show just yet clearly. Down the road I am happy to post them to this thread. However, I do think that my experiences thus far are worth posting for people in my situation who are still researching and considering options. My story: I'm a 46 year old male with a balding crown. I refuse to be dragged into the land of the bald, and it's been something that I have been wanting to address for years. I decided to eschew the minoxidil/propecia route and I opted to go for something permanent. I'm American but I live and work in London. I do have family in LA, so I thought I'd look around LA to see if I could find a doctor the next time I was in town visiting the family. I did my research and in 2017 narrowed it down to Dr Parsa Mohebi and an unnamed competitor -- both highly rated on different websites, and both with very impressive resumes. I saw the latter unnamed doctor first, let's call him Doctor No. Doctor No certainly seemed impressive as my background research had suggested. Now, in addition to my balding crown, I also have a small area of scarring alopecia in a part of my forehead. Dr. No told me in my consultation that it would be no problem to address the crown and forehead issues over a day and a half of hair transplantation. Dr No also gave me a booklet of his extensive research on hair transplant techniques that he had published in academic journals. Hang on to to both of these facts for a second. To digress a bit here, I have a PhD in theoretical physics, and I am not someone who is easily impressed/intimidated by others' scientific achievements. So a folder of academic papers on hair transplant techniques is really of no use or relevance to me, other than a pure and cheap show-off tactic. I am not looking to research or learn how to do hair transplants. I am looking to have an expert do one. Whoopty-doo if he has published papers. With so many experts out there, I would almost expect nothing less. So I shelved Dr No, and a few months later on a subsequent trip to LA, I met with Dr Parsa Mohebi and this consultation had a very different flavor. Firstly, after inspecting both my bald spots he told me flat out that while the crown would be a standard process, I really didn't need to have a transplant for the small alopecia in my forehead, since I could simply cover it with other forehead hair while combing. More importantly, he wasn't certain whether hair could grow in that scar tissue, although he would be happy to take a biopsy to ascertain this. Two things about this. Here is a hair transplant surgeon sitting in a Beverly Hills office frankly recommending a cheaper and more cost-effective way to deal with one of my hair-loss areas, when any other doctor could have easily just said he would happily transplant hair to the spot, and make the extra buck(s) (per each hair graft). And it wasn't just his candor that stood out, but the fact that he didn't want me to do a needless procedure without verifying first whether it would be successful. The other unnamed doctor above seemed to have no qualms about this whatsoever. Note: I mean no disrespect to Dr. No despite my comical moniker for him. He did come across as a very competent and successful hair transplant surgeon and I am sure he is great. This is simply my personal opinion/experience. The other thing that stood out about Dr Mohebi vs Dr No: Dr Mohebi could have also wowed me with his academic research (which again would have been pointless and irrelevant from my perspective, as I already know that he is a renowned hair transplant surgeon from my background research). Instead he gave me a book that he has published -- THIS IS A MUST READ BOOK EVEN IF YOU DON'T SEE HIM -- "Modern Hair Restoration, A Complete Hair Loss Guide for Men and Women, 2nd Edition." The book is excellent and written exactly for people like me, who knew nothing about hair transplants, aside from all the myths and half-truths. He goes over all the techniques that are used (strip/FUE etc), what's involved in transplant procedures, the recovery process, etc etc etc, and written for the non-specialist and future patient. My research stage was now complete, and I was ready to take the plunge and go ahead with the procedure. And this is where I got to know and work with the team at Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration better. Not only are they super-professional, but also super-nice and friendly. In fact, I had to cancel my initial procedure scheduled in November 2018, owing to a sudden bout of horrific influenza that hit me literally two days before my procedure. Melissa and Niki, who are part of his admin team were very accommodating and kindly worked with me to find another date in April 2019, with no extra expense on my side for the cancelation and rebooking. As far as the actual procedure went, Dr Mohebi's exhaustive (but very easy to read) book really helped with the prep. I had also spent some time watching other hair transplants on YouTube by other doctors so none of it was a real surprise. But I will say, it was much easier and more straightforward that I had expected. During the procedure, they let me listen to whatever music I wanted, and even listened to me talking nonstop (as much as I could without disturbing the procedure), and I even got to watch movies from their library, while they worked on me. Dr Mohebi's staff of technicians who assisted him on the day, Ashley, Christina, and Rizza, were very friendly, efficient, and not to mention thorough to the point of annoying in terms of the follow up, and with what I had to (and this also included all the pre-op instructions and prep I received). When I use the word "annoying" here it is meant as a *HUGE COMPLIMENT* to their thoroughness. You can tell a lot about someone from the quality of a team that they have assembled. My experiences with his technicians, and also Niki/Melissa who assisted me with the admin, speaks volumes about Dr Mohebi. The little things matter too. You have to go in on an empty stomach, but they offer you a three course tasty Persian meal (with dessert). I also appreciate that that they wash and donate the woolen blankets (that they use to cover you) to a homeless shelter. In the end they ended up using more hair grafts than they had originally estimated prior to the procedure. The tacit understanding is that I would clearly pay for any extras, however Dr Mohebi waived the extra charge. When I asked him about it afterwards, he told me that he had found two other smaller spots of scarring alopecia. Recall from above he was unsure about the suitability of a transplant for the area of scarring alopecia on my forehead. He decided to put in extra grafts in those small newly discovered areas, but not charge me because it wouldn't be fair to me if the transplants didn't last in those small areas that he himself was still unsure about. He did also perform a biopsy on the main scarred area on the forehead free-of-charge, and I am currently awaiting a pathology study on it to determine whether I can one day address that small patch with a transplant in a future visit. This story may perhaps be a bit atypical compared to some of the other threads on here, as I don't have any before/after pics, which of course is the true test of a successful hair transplant. I am after all still only on Day 4 after my procedure, and still religiously following the very thorough post-op instructions I received. However, I felt it was important to share my experience because if you are considering a hair transplant then at the very least a consultation with Dr Mohebi is well worth the investment. Incidentally, if you don't live in the LA area, note that Dr Mohebi regularly has patients from abroad and also offers travel and accommodation discounts. And finally, I am a believer in the fact that when you see a doctor for anything, the best results happen when you are working as a team with the doctor, as opposed to the doctor just doing stuff on you or to you, without you being involved in anyway. The technical term with physicians is "bedside manner" and any amount of research has shown the beneficial impacts this has -- ultimately it is your body that has to receive the treatment and "do the work" and heal and recover. The more empowered and involved you are, the better are the results and I certainly felt that way with Dr Mohebi & team. I hope this story is informative and helpful. Good luck, Batman25 -

Hasson and Wong FUE over FUT?
Melvin-Moderator replied to Greg_Swanson's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
To be fair, most patients are requesting FUE over FUT nowadays. I spoke to Dr. Mohebi in January when I visited his office and he told me that 90% of his patients request FUE. If the clinic is producing good FUE results than that is going to be the bulk of their posted results. -
Hi everyone, Have been around the forum for some time now, and have seen the pre-screened physician area, but am hoping for some advice and referrals of surgeons who have been getting good results for FUE crown procedures. I’ve already had a 2000 grafts FUE crown hair transplant in Australia but am unhappy with the results due to low density. The doctor didn’t even focus on my crown and blended way too far into my existing hairline! 2 years later and my crown is still thin. After speaking to all the main hair transplant surgeons in Australia, I have concluded they are all low quality and shady. Therefore, I’m prepared to go overseas for my next procedure. North America is convenient, and I’m impressed with gallery pictures from Dr. Parsa Mohebi as well as Hasson and Wong. I’m thinking 500-600 FUE grafts (up to 1200 hairs) at 30 grafts per cm2 with an effective crown design should give me a significantly better cosmetic outcome than what I have now? Currently my crown looks ok when viewed from front and sides but looking from top and back it still looks quite thin/bald and that’s what I’d like to fix. Being in my early 30s and not on any medication (except PRP) I’m hesitant to use too much donor area since I haven’t touched my front hairline yet. Even though my hair loss seems stable and I have good density/coverage at the front, who knows what further procedures might be needed in the future. I’ve attached photos of: The day before my first transplant The day after the first transplant (showing in yellow where in my opinion grafts are still needed at a minimum) 3 x pics of my crown now 2 years post-surgery Appreciate any comments and feedback. Thank you. -

I would suggest looking for Dr. Otavio Boaventura who does a lot of long hair unshaven FUE or what they call Preview long hair. My guess is that the numbers ler session are lower so might need to do a more gradual approach. I think Dr. Parsa Mohebi in LA also does them. Best of luck!

FUE with Dr Parsa Mohebi
Melvin-Moderator replied to MarcM's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews

Great topic, Lot’s of good information. Thanks for sharing Dr. Mohebi.

Female hair transplants are definitely possible - but can be a little trickier depending on what is the root cause of it. Is it traditional male pattern hair loss, traction alopecia, or related to a hormonal imbalance? These are things you can discuss with a reputable, qualified surgeon, in which case, the same advice for men would apply here: Use this forum and the list of recommended surgeons to start researching and narrowing down your options. Find surgeons who have an impressive portfolio of women in a similar situation as you, reach out to them, talk to their reps, speak with former patients, and set up consultations with your top 3 choices or so. Research can be time consuming, but it's worth it in the end - and fortunately, you've come to a forum that does a lot of the heavy lifting for you in terms of really narrowing down who the best surgeons are. Dr. Mohebi has a good list here of the steps he recommends women take when determining the best option for treating their hair loss, which I think would be a great starting point for you. I hope this helps.

Everything looks great, the temporal points are actually something I need to get addressed soon myself. Actually, Dr. Mohebi told me I need to get them done soon. So, if professionals are noticing I definitely need to do it. So, I feel you on that, the temple points are kinda like the cherry on top. That said, yours don't look that bad, sure they could be better, but maybe after a few years. Plus, once your happy with your new hairline, a few hundred grafts for the temple points will be quick and not as expensive.

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Mohebi at Parsa Mohebi Hair Restoration. I have to say that I was truly impressed with Dr. Mohebi and his staff. It is clear that his clinic and team take pride in their work and it shows in their results. It is no surprise that Dr. Mohebi is providing such excellent care to his patients given the fact that he belongs to the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians, a group of surgeons that are carefully selected for their skill and consistent excellent patient results. I had the pleasure of witnessing Dr. Mohebi and his well-trained clinical staff perform an FUE procedure on a patient who also happened to be in the healthcare industry. The patient received 2,000 grafts that were placed strategically to maximize the illusion of density. The patient received grafts in his midscalp, left upper-lateral hump and lower crown. Since the patient combs his hair from left to right, the goal was to maximize the density in the sections that layer over the scalp. The patient returned to Dr. Mohebi and his team of expertly trained technicians because of the fantastic results he had received previously in his hairline. Dr. Mohebi, first created recipient sites, his reasoning was to minimize the time that the patients grafts spend outside of the body. After the recipient sites were created, he extracted the grafts via a 0.9mm punch using the Trivellini punch formerly known as the Mamba device. The device had a sensitive touch screen that displayed the various modes in colorful graphics. According to Dr. Mohebi, it is the only device on the market that can execute rotation, oscillation and vibration individually or combined. In addition, the Trivellini surgical punch could control the speed and time of each movement. Ensuring that the healthiest grafts are extracted. While Dr. Mohebi, extracted grafts, his technicians implanted them in tandem. It was impressive to witness such a well executed procedure being carried out with precision and efficiency. I am grateful to Dr. Mohebi and his staff for allowing me to observe them in surgery. I can without a doubt assure anyone that is interested in having a hair transplant with Dr. Mohebi, that he is performing ultra-refined follicular unit transplantation. Dr. Mohebi and his team took excellent care of their patient, ensuring that he was comfortable at all times, even bringing him his requested snack of ice cream. Thankfully, I was able to film most of the surgery, which I will be posting on YouTube soon, so stay tuned. Below are a couple of pictures of Dr. Mohebi and his team, me and Dr. Mohebi and the procedure itself.

Thought I’d add a couple of more pictures of the procedure. Dr. Mohebi, seperates all of his grafts using high magnification, to ensure single hair grafts are actually single hair. He also, keeps the grafts in methodically thought out petri dish that he created. You will also see, he’s extracting grafts as his techs are implanting simultaneously.

3 years in the making...
Melvin-Moderator replied to brickellmoto's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
All are great choices, I went to Dr. Diep myself, but again all are great. I visited Dr. Mohebi today. I encourage you to check out my post I wrote about my visit. He’s underrated IMO, worth considering as well.
