Hello there folks - long time lurker in this forum. I finally decided to go in for my procedure this week. I chose Dr. Scott Alexander in Phoneix for my procedure. I had consulted with a few other doctors as well, and all of them gave me pretty much the same recommendations (except one): 1. Dr. Blake Bloxham - 2500 - 3000 FUT 2. Dr. Jae Pak - 2000 - 2500 FUT 3. Dr. Sahar Nadimi(Konior) - 2500 - 3000 FUT 4. Dr. Shaver (Bernstein) - 2500 FUT 5. Dr. Hasson - 5000 FUE 6. Dr. Alexaner 3000+FUT I also tried contacting Dr. Gabel a couple of times, but didn't get a response. I -
Thanks Dr. Khokhar for pointing this out. Dr. Bernstein is indeed experienced and well informed in the field. Nonetheless, I have not come across cases of hair loss or hair follicles death in the many sutured scars that I saw or was involved in. I can see that a tight running suture might cause that if the wound is approximated in a single layer or if there is too much tension on the skin sutures. However, the general practice with sutures is a two layered closure using deep absorbable sutures at the level below the follicle, and a superficial running suture for the skin above the follicles. -
Interesting. I've never heard or seen this based on my convos with surgeons. I've heard from some surgeons that they prefer sutures since they think it can approximate wound edges better than staples and hence the scars won't be visible nearly as much from FUT. But I've also seen work done with staples where the FUT scar can't even be discerned. I wonder how common of an issue this is. Dr. Bernstein definitely knows his stuff well and I trust him. Thanks for sharing and I'll ask around from some surgeons what they think of this and get back to you. I'm in training so I'm always looking -
Summary (because this review is long): Today is the 9th day after the surgery. I am very pleased with the Dr. Diep and her staff (so far.) Let's start with surgery info: Surgeon: Dr. Diep MHTA Clinic at Los Gatos, California Surgery Date: 11/12/2020 Procedures (graft): FUE (1411) + FUT (1211) Myself: Asian in my 50's with NW4 to 4.5. Start losing my hair since early 20's. Never take any med, tropical, roller, special shampoo, or anything for hair treatment (just too lazy to care.) My hair never give me trouble at work or dating. Live in the Bay Area and 20 miles from -
Hi everyone, I am writing to share my experience having an 1852 graft FUE with Dr. Dorin in New York. I have been helped so much by this forum, and I hope a thorough post can help someone else. The basics: I am a 40 year old man, Norwood 3V with likely progression to 5A if nature ran its course. I use Rogaine twice per day and have recently completed 3 treatments of PRP (with pronox which makes you loopy and indifferent to the scalp stabbings). I am not currently on finasteride but considering it along with switching to oral minoxidil. The plan: After a consultation with Dr. T -
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 -
I have the same questions as you have but the answer probably comes to $$$, even thou their sales reps won't admit it. Since in Canada it costs less than in the US, doing FUT is not as profitable, because imagine this: When they schedule a patient for FUT, they prevent another patient from scheduling FUE, and if they do this very often, they end up making less money in the end. They have enough patients for FUEs (they are booked months ahead of time) that they don't need to open space for FUTs anymore. A lot of americans would flood Canada for an FUT procedure if they ofered it, they already -
The Hair Transplant Network recently interviewed Dr. Christine Shaver, Head of the NYC Division of Bernstein Medical – Center for Hair Restoration. Dr. Shaver is a board-certified dermatologist and performs Robotic FUE and FUT hair transplant procedures, which brought a uniquely qualified perspective to this conversation. During the interview, Dr. Shaver answers the following questions: What are the advantages and disadvantages of FUT vs FUE? Patients can come in with unrealistic expectations for hair transplants. How do you manage this and help give patients the best outcomes- 1 reply

Age 26, Norwood ~3V + retrograde + diffuse thinning (including donor) Medication: dutasteride 0.5mg/day, foam minoxidil 1-2mL/night Hair characteristics: high contrast with skin, fine, straight Cost: 2.15 euros/graft which is a discount from 2.25 euros/graft because I agreed to provide them anonymized photo updates for their own use. Posting this thread is my own choice. Though, I wish clinics would offer discounts for patients to post threads from start to finish. I see nothing wrong with that. Also, I think the price has gone up recently. Hair loss timeline: 18 - Looking back at -
Thanks for the replies. I just wanted to make clear that my intention was not to say that one procedure is superior to the other. That was why I used quotation marks around the word "better" in my first post. But after reading the first post again I probably wasn't as clear about that as I wanted to be. After digging a little deeper it does appear that FUT is still an option among some of the better clinics that I know of. I was just a little surprised to notice that it appears that some clinics are going exclusively with FUE. I happened upon Dr. Robert Bernstein's website out of Ne -

Hi, all. I haven’t posted here much since my last procedure in 2015, but happy to share an update with everyone about my latest surgery. As background, I had my first transplant with Dr. Robert Niedbalski in June 2012. I was a NW 2-3, and he transplanted 1,450 grafts via strip to form a lower, but still recessed, hairline. I wanted a flat hairline, so I had a subsequent procedure with Dr. Rahal in October 2015, when he transplanted 2,200 grafts, again via strip. The hairline design was great, but the right side grew in a little sparse. Nothing awful, and I could’ve gone without addressin -
Just gradually lowering the hairline; one was 1,450 grafts in 2012 with Robert Niedbalski, and one was 2,100 grafts with Dr. Rahal in 2015. That procedure is discussed in the thread below.

Dr. Dorin followed-up with this FUE patient after 4 1/2 months post-op 1652 grafts. Typically we see new growth anywhere from 2 - 6 months, so at this stage a bit ahead of the game in terms of length and uniformity. Breakdown: 357 singles, 1061 double, 234 threes. Bio-adjuncts: PRP & Liposomal ATP -
Driving four hours day after FUE?
Dr. Suhail Khokhar replied to williamsburgh's topic in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
You should be fine driving the day after the procedure. They may give you a benzodiazepine for anxiety prior to your procedure and reputable clinics will tell you not to drive the same day and it will be a low dose probably. You picked a great surgeon in @Dr. Robert Dorin Please keep the community posted on your journey and happy growing buddy! -

hairhairhair2541 replied to hairhairhair2541's topic in Open Hair Loss Topics
I got the email back from Dr. Bernstein's office but it was from a Dr. Shaver who I guess works there? and it seems like I'd have to go for the paid consult either way. -

Do Hair Transplants Thin Over Time?
asterix0 replied to Melvin-Moderator's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
@ciaus I don't think it anyone here has the time nor the will to endlessly debate anything. We are not medical researchers, we cannot perform any experiments, our resources are very limited. We can only provide information and hope that patients can use it wisely to make the best possible decisions for themselves.

Both Bloxham and Bernstein are great choices. Dr. Shaver is a good choice as well.

I noticed that Dr. Bernstein does not come up often in lists of top surgeons here. I have browsed a lot of photos of his patients. It seems to me that he is very good at using a small number of grafts to achieve the desired cosmetic effect. His recipient site creation seems very refined and strategic. Among the surgeons I consulted, he offered the lowest number of grafts. The only downside I see is that he uses the ARTAS robot to do FUE, which is something not recommended here. But other than this, if one wants a FUT with a conservative number of grafts, is there any reason he wo

Dr. Couto 2000 grafts 10/22/2020
TorontoMan replied to RMancini's topic in Hair Restoration Results Posted by Patients
Hi you're probably very new to the game. 99% of the time after you have a hair transplant, the hairs that were transplanted go through a shock as they've just been removed from your scalp for the first time ever with a lot of drilling and extracting. As a result, the hairs go through a recovery period called the Telogen phase, where they pretty much go to sleep for a bit. This is the cause of the shedding you see, which is hair fall that usually takes place two weeks to 2 months depending on the individual. This is VERY common for hair transplant processes, and we call it the "ugly duckling ph -
this is really helpful. thanks again. you mentioned Dr. Bernstein in your earlier post, do you have any personal experience with respect to his scar revision technique?
