Best Hairline Doctor
Melvin-Moderator replied to djohnson's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
There is no best, but there are several qualified doctors in New York, we recommend Dr. Wesley, Dr. Bernstein, Dr. Feller and Dr. Bloxham. I would at least have a consultation with the aforementioned doctors to gather some expert opinions. Warm regards-Melvin -
Is PRP worth the price after FUE?
Spaceman replied to newpatient99's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
You may see minimal improvement, but you would be wise to have low expectations. Dr. Bernstein has some before/after pictures along with solid information here: https://www.bernsteinmedical.com/medical-treatment/platelet-rich-plasma-prp/. Keep in mind these are probably the best results he’s seen in his practice with PRP and several are also on finasteride and minoxidil. -

Dr. Robert Dorin - Revision - 888 Hairline FUE
orangehair posted a topic in Results Posted by Leading Hair Restoration Clinics
This patient after 3 previous strip surgeries and 1 FUE consulted with Dr. Dorin on making the most of round 5 after poor donor management and a underwhelming restoration thus far. Dr. Dorin performed a hairline session via manual FUE consisting of 888 grafts - 377 singles, 439 doubles, and 72 threes. This result is post-op 12 months. -
Thanks. You don’t hear much discussion of Dr. Bernstein on this forum, but I wouldn’t let that dissuade you. His practice just doesn’t fit the profile of many posters. He has firm opinions about what will work best for his patients long-term and won’t sugarcoat his opinion just to get you in the door. These forums have many non-US posters. Many are in their twenties. Many have years to go until their conditions are stabilized. Bernstein would likely tell them to go on meds and wait. Many won’t want to wait. Bernstein is in NYC. Not a cheap town to travel to and stay in for several days. Not a cheap town to put together a top notch office and staff in. Compared to Turkey, he’s much more costly I believe he’s the real deal, though, with a depth of knowledge and experience that is hard to match. His website is an incredible resource, from FAQ’s to detailed discussion of procedures to original research.

I am 8 weeks post FUT with Dr. Bernstein. Unfortunately that puts me around the rock bottom stage, so I can’t give you much information about the final outcome. The surgical experience itself was very professional. If it helps, I am NW5, 55 years old, straight fine hair. Started 1mg Finasteride three months ago. Had a full head of hair at 40, but three kids can produce a lot of cortisol.

FUT Procedure - Dr. Bernstein
HairguyFUT posted a topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
I started noticing that I was going bald when I was in my early twenties. To be honest, it was hard to notice at first: a few hairs growing just in front of my hair line, my temples becoming slightly more pronounced, that kind of thing. Periodically I looked into possible treatments and occasionally tried various homeopathic remedies, but nothing worked. But I was too busy with school and work and life to really worry about my hair and so I let things go… probably a lot longer than I should have. When I hit thirty years old, though, I knew I had to get serious about treatment. Anytime I got out of the shower I was reminded of how much my haircut concealed my hair loss and I dreaded humid days that flattened out my hair, windy days that pushed my hair from its most advantageous position. I had tried Propecia, but I was unlucky enough to have experienced some serious sexual side effects and, as the cure is worse than the disease in that case, I didn’t know what to do. I had just moved to NYC and began researching ways to prevent the hair loss again. I began using Rogaine again (which had never seemed to work for me), biotin supplements, and shampoos that promised to increase volume and density. Nothing worked. It was time to look into hair transplant surgeries. As I researched, I noticed that there seemed to be a small-scale war going on regarding hair transplant surgeries. One webpage/person/video/review would claim that one procedure was the best and the other was terrible, and the very next webpage/person/video/review would say just the opposite. The whole thing felt counterproductive, and I knew I needed to actually speak with someone, and most importantly, someone who performed both treatments. Dr. Bernstein’s clinic came up very quickly as I researched hair transplants. I called and researched a number of places but costs were either prohibitively high or suspiciously low and none of the results page (that shows the images of previous clients) looked as good as Dr. Bernstein’s (even when I cross referenced it to those with the specific Norwood level I thought I had). I decided to bite the admittedly expensive bullet and schedule a consultation. I was extremely nervous when I was in Dr. Bernstein’s waiting room and had close to no idea what to expect. When I was called back to meet with Dr. Bernstein he asked all the questions you’d expect him to ask: Have you tried Propecia? Rogaine? How long has this been going on? What was I hoping to achieve? He examined my scalp and my hair and informed me what he thought he could offer. We talked about the benefits of FUT and FUE and which would be better for me. I know that some have commented that he is terse in his bedside manner, but he and I were able to joke a bit and I found his knowledgeable and calm approach reassuring. I was not looking for a new best friend or someone to hold my hand, I was looking for an expert surgeon, and Dr. Bernstein’s ability to answer my questions, his patience with me as I asked and re-asked an unending stream of questions, and his methodical attitude was more than I could have asked for. We spent more than 45 minutes in that initial consultation and I told him I needed time to think about it. He told me that if I ever wanted to come back, the price paid for the original consultation would cover any subsequent consultations within the year. I thought a lot about what to do over the next few weeks. It was a big decision and everyday new questions piled up in my mind. I decided to schedule another consultation and in the next month I was in his office again asking him about how the hair would age, the recovery timeline, and tons of other things. He was extremely clear and direct while being patient with me. He made it clear that he was available for any questions I would have. On my way out of his office that day, I was sure I would get the procedure. -
Hi everyone...I have never done a blog, so I hope I am doing this right. I am a 37 year old female, and I just had my surgery with Dr. Bernstein about 6 weeks ago. I have always had a receding hairline, more of a typical male pattern of hair loss. Dr. Bernstein was fairly confident I would be a good candidate (although he can be a bit standoffish at times). He said I had a stable donor area, so I took the plunge. Now, I am scared I made the wrong decision. This is such a scary stage because I look so thin from the shock loss. I am afraid I made my hair loss worse sooner by doing this. I was hoping for some positive feedback...I know people say it gets worse before it gets better, but I'm scared it won't get better. Thank you everyone.

Really Struggling With My Hair Loss - Please Help
jjsrader replied to hanginginthewire's topic in Support Group - Discuss personal issues due to Hair Loss
Yea, this forum is pro-transplants for sure. Anything beyond NW5 is mostly about 'reasonable expectations' after all there is only so much hair you can replace that is lost - however, those w/very favorable hair characteristics who are NW5 or NW6 'skew' the results in my opinion. For example, on hair forums the vast amount of photograph evidence is from doctors or patients that get very good cosmetic results (even w/advanced baldness) vs the amount of pics we see that are not so good. That's a fact. For example, take a look at Dr. Bernstein and a few other doctor's websites (Shapiro/H&W) that feature ALOT of NW5/NW6 results and take a good hard look and think to yourself w/your own hair characteristics and long-term hairloss pattern if those are results that would seem good to you if you did 3 FUE surgeries? I don't recommend hair transplants to anyone - but that doesn't mean my opinion is any more valid than the many people who have had hair-restoration surgery and been completely satisfied with it. My entire family male history on both sides are all NW5's/6's and 7's - someone like me who began losing his hair at age 21 should probably not ever start going down the hair transplant road. I waited until I was 23 years old to begin. Even w/the arsenal of meds & stuff I am on (in my profile) I have only managed to slow down my long-term hairloss slightly (and I have been on alot of stuff for 20+ years). 8.6K+ hair transplants w/fine straight hair doesn't look NEARLY as full as someone like Bill (managing publisher) who has wavy thick hair. That's just a fact. My expectations have diminished as I have gotten older, yet I will be having another surgery in Feb '19 because I want enough hair in my frontal hairband and 1/3rd of my head to have enough hair to create the illusion of a near-normal head of hair. After that final FUT I'll finish off w/FUE - but this is my personal journey and the FUE will be for my midscalp to the back of my mid-vertex. I'll have to let my crown slowly lose but have a 'base' of grafts to keep the natural crown whirl. Even w/13K of grafts w/my type of hair (fine/straight on very white skin) the contrast created doesn't create the illusion of a full head of hair throughout my entire head of hair. Of course w/a bit of dermmatch and/or hair volumizing fibers and such it looks pretty near normal - but that can be a pain in the ass everyday as well (which I don't do on a regular basis). Even w/temporary SMP or even permanent ink via Mark Weston that is NOT exactly like natural regular density hair - there is no magic bullet. PRP and laser helmets are still not well documented. So, it never really ends, in a manner of speaking. It is all about personal perspective and realistic expectations under all lighting conditions etc... All I know is that if you are commited to the long haul and are not taking any systemic meds/topicals/hair laser/prp or whatever to slow down hairloss - is that hairloss is progressive (the severity depending on your genetics and family history) and anything can happen when you are much older. -
How do I go back to work ?! Holy crap !
Melvin-Moderator replied to made2care's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
You are correct, based on a study conducted by coalition surgeon Dr. Bernstein, after 9 days grafts are securely anchored in to the scalp. However, powerful UV rays can interfere with the healing process. Therefore, it’s good idea to wear a hat while outside for the first few months. https://www.bernsteinmedical.com/research/graft-anchoring-in-hair-transplantation/ -
FUT Procedure - Dr. Bernstein
SBSinNYC replied to HairguyFUT's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
I had a FUT procedure with him yesterday. Overall a good experience, but too early to really tell about results. My impression of the Dr. Bernstein is he wants his patients to have realistic expectations. He’s not selling. He would rather do 2 sessions than 1 mega session, so that he can fine tune the ultimate outcome. Some people are looking for a more gung ho doc, but I’m fine with the more conservative approach. Best of luck! -

Leg hair
Bill - Managing Publisher replied to Sparky00's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Sparky, I know that a number of hair restoration physicians recommended by our community do offer body hair transplantation however, in terms of like hair specifically, I’m not 100 cent positive. You could always check with Dr. Robert True. I know he had presented something on body hair transplantation in the past. I can’t recall specifically as to whether or not he mentioned leg hair but it certainly would be worth looking into. Are you considering a body hair transplantation procedure yourself? Is there a reason why you don’t wanna consider Dr. Umar who has an outstanding reputation for producing excellent results? Best wishes, Bill -

Is a 4500 Graft FUT Single Session A Good Idea?
451stroker posted a topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
My previous post had me trying to decide between Dr. Bloxham and Dr. Rahal. I've since submitted photos to and have spoken with a Hasson / Wong rep. The rep said that Dr. Hasson recommends a 4500 graft mega-session. I found this incredibly appealing because my hairline and crown would be addressed in one surgery and I would end up saving about $7000 due to the price drop after the first 2000 grafts. I would also achieve my result a full year sooner, as opposed to having 2 separate surgeries at the full graft price at Feller/Bloxham and waiting 2 years for my final result. My question is, is a 4500 graft single mega-session more risky? Dr. Bernstein's site mentions that a large strip taken out in a single session can result in a wider scar, and also that there may be less growth of the transplanted grafts due to the amount of time they are out of the body. Is this something I should worry about, or is Dr. Hasson so good that this is not an issue when having surgery with him? I appreciate the input. -

Gasthoerer replied to spex's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
This extraction pattern Looks Kind of bad. Dr. Bernstein once mentioned that he does this non-feathered Approach due to leaving bigger virgin Skin Areas for certain Clients. But strange that always ARTAS patients appear to be that Kind of Client. On top, here we have a very irregular pattern. I tend to believe that this is kind of a Problem of the software... -
Dr. Rahal or Bernstein?
Justin77 replied to JT65's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Rahal over Bernstein without a doubt. I've seen many fantastic results from Dr. Rahal, and very few (if any) from Dr. Bernstein. Not that Dr. Bernstein isn't a good doctor, he seems very knowledgeable, but I think he's from an older school of hair transplant docs and goes for much more conservative results. Happy to be proven wrong though if someone has a great result from Dr. Bernstein to share. -
Please help me clarify my shedding!
Curious replied to BrightIdea's topic in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
Based on that photo, it appears that you lost some grafts. The study done by Dr. Bernstein indicated that you could dislodge a graft up to day 10. -

How many grafts to improve hairline?
harryforreal replied to DireWolf's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Finasteride meds first. Surgery LAST resort. Refer to Dr. Bernstein's website for photos of the efficacy that finasteride can yield on the hairline - quite impressive, and a damn lot cheaper and easier than a HT. -
