Ninja edit: I remembered the graft count incorrectly, it was actually 2325 grafts, not 2125. Hi everyone, I had my procedure with Dr. Gabel on July 29th, 2020. So, not quite 7 months, but close enough. 28 y/o male. You might remember my original post. I asked Melvin to archive it. Posting this one as a quick review to get the word out about Dr. Gabel. I'm not on his payroll or anything, and he didn't request a review. I'm doing it as a happy patient. Just do yourself a favor and have a consultation with him. He's low-key one of the most experienced, talented, and ethical -
Hello everyone, I'm back in the game for a quick procedure this time - I'll be doing a scar revision with Dr. Gabel on this Thursday (Oct 17th). All of my results have been great so far, but after three FUT procedures totaling around ~4,500 grafts, my incision scar had gradually become larger and larger, and now that I have coverage over the majority of my scalp and will just use some small-to-medium FUE procedures for any further necessary touch-ups, I just want to get my incision scar reduced down to where it was after my first HT (it was basically invisible at a #3 Guard haircut). Firs -
Hello everyone, Around seven years ago I had a 4,100 grafts FUT procedure with Dr. Rahal, in which he mostly worked on the front/mid scalp. Overall, I was very satisfied with the hairline he created, and the obtained results. However, during these years -most likely- I have lost the remaining native hair I had by that time, and hence overall density, so lately my hair had a more thin appearance. For that reason, after thinking about it, I tried to schedule a new appointment with Dr. Rahal. Due to COVID restrictions it wasn't easy, so I started to make a new Dr. research. I contacted Dr. -
FUT Scar Revision - Dr. Steven Gabel

Thanks, and here are a few pics from over a decade ago, back before I got anything done; I'd basically be a hard Norwood 4 or 5 by now without the expert intervention of Dr. Gabel and the patience of the members on this forum teaching me the ways! -
You look great shadow, very happy for you. Dr. Gabel did an excellent job 👏🏼 -

Dr. Gabel and Hasson and Wong are the top two. -
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 -
FUT + FUE combo with Dr. Gabel
RubenH replied to RubenH's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Happy new year to everyone, A new brief update after (almost) 8 weeks since my FUT/FUE procedure performed on November 16/17 by Dr.Gabel and his team. From the last update (week 5), shedding kept hitting slowly, specially in the back/crown. Now, it seems to be pretty much stopped. At this point, I have noticed some new hair sprouting, as you may see in some pictures. During these 8 weeks after the surgery, I have been using J&J baby shampoo. Now I am considering the use of a regular, mild shampoo. However, I have never actually done a deep research in this regard. I would like t -
Thanks @Stuart_j. Did you drive from SoCal to Portland for Dr. Gabel? Or did you fly during COVID? How long did it take to drive, if you did and may I ask why you chose his facility over another one in say Los Angeles area? How many grafts did you get and did you stay for a day or two in Portland? Were you concerned about a "hotel" overnight stay just after a surgery when you might be more susceptible to infection perhaps or have no help from family members like driving you or helping you etc.? -
The closest to you would be Dr. Diep(NorCal) and Dr.Gabel(Portland). Both highly rated on this forum.

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 -
Hello all, I finally bit the bullet. To give everyone a rundown I’m 39 years old this year. I live out of Austin, TX but I’m from closer to the Houston area. I started thinning when I was 18 and I tried everything to slow down the process, admittedly without a lot of knowledge back then. This was 1998 and I didn’t know much about propecia or minoxidil. I tried shampoos and all kinds of gimmicks. I did try propecia and minoxidil liquid but because I didn’t know enough about it and didn’t see immediate results I just stopped and got on with my life. It all started in my crown and then -
Honestly, I think FUT+FUE is probably even better. There’s another case here of the same thing with Dr. Gabel. Your strip scar is small, doesn’t look like a traditional ear to ear strip. I’ve always considered doing the same, but after 3 FUE’s probably shouldn’t.

FUT + FUE combo with Dr. Gabel

Awesome, good luck these coming months! Dr. Gabel does great work! Have you been on Fin at all since you had your first HT with Dr. Rahal? -
FUT + FUE combo with Dr. Gabel

Fantastic write-up, I actually think doing an FUT and FUE combo is the way to go, eager to see your results flourish. Dr. Gabel is top-notch 👍🏼 -
FUT + FUE combo with Dr. Gabel
RubenH replied to RubenH's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Thanks guys, You are correct, I have had 2 FUTs! The first one around 7 years ago with Dr. Rahal and this is my second FUT (along with FUE next day). Regarding your question, I'm not sure about the policy about sharing prices but I think he would be fine with that. Dr. Gabel cost/graft (at least in my case) was $5 strip graft (beyond 2,500 I know it's $4/graft) and $7 FUE graft. Also, not sure if this is the normal practise but he gave me a discount every day. The communication was very efficient and fast during the whole process. After my first e-mail, I had a video consultation that -
FUT + FUE combo with Dr. Gabel
js2020 replied to RubenH's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Wow you had two FUTs? Donor area looks great post OP. If you don't mind me asking what was the costs and timeline of scheduling appointments and the surgery with Dr. Gabel? -
I like Dr. BF, but he’s not in the same league as the doctors you’ve mentioned. Gabel, H&W, Shapiro, Bisanga have double the amount of experience and track record.
-
I believe Dr. Varona does the extraction and insertion base off the consultation. I will be reaching out to Hasson & Wong and Gabel tomorrow. Been seeing Gabel’s name coming up a lot. Also is PRP legit? Seems like a lot clinics are pairing that with FUE.

Dr. Konior and Nadami definitely superior in extraction of grafts. Diep yields generally favorable results per YT. There are a couple of unsatisfied clients on the forums in recent memory, about 2 or 3. But there are a lot of people happy with Diep on these forums. You should also consider H&W, SMG, Rahal, Cooley, Gabel and etc. I would consult with several doctors and go with the clinic you feel most comfortable with. Also, please find a clinic who have good ethics and look at your future hair loss. Too many clinics are simply wanting to sell you more grafts at the expense of your li -
No doubt about it, Dr. Diep places hairlines well. If only he truly made it about the work and the patient in the procedural chair, and not about the paper, he wouldn't be so polarizing. He'd have to give up >50% of his revenue stream to achieve that though. Knock it down to one surgical patient per day. Put back say 2.5 hours he spends a day in consultation back into the one surgical patient per day. Reinvest the time into that one surgical patient per day. EDIT: and uses a smaller punch. Not make those compromises. He might be able to make back some of revenue charging $14 per graft and c -
This is more telling than you know. Dr. Gabel is fast. He is the type of person that walks 4 mph. He does iron man triathlons. Not only that, he has been performing FUE since 2003. If he does it at that speed, that is the rate that he has found to be the absolute fastest you can go while still achieving the most optimal results and avoiding transection.

Ding ding ding! Winner winner, chicken dinner! The high toll that I speak of has nothing to do with him venturing out of the traditional safe zone. It's math. For your procedure @Noodles123, the rate of Transection Loss is actually 25%: 1500 punches - 1200 grafts = 300 300/1200 grafts = 25% By all recognized measures in the industry, 25% Transection Loss is Turkish-scam/Black Market level of deficiency. I am, and some members too, witnessed to an instance where the rate of Transection Loss was at least 45% from Dr Diep. So getting back to fundamentals. Does anyone remember

Konoir and his disciples all win the FUE Donor "Like a Virgin" Award: Gabel & Nadimi. Nadimi's hair lines appear as if she apprenticed with Mother Nature instead of Konoir. She is one of the few surgeons that does both the excisions and grafting. Although, she might be on the conservative side and I am thinking that is because she does 100% of the work and might not take big jobs? I am a big fan of Dr. Hasson's work, and I am going to stoned as i say this, not so much of Dr. Wong's work. But it is too much of a hassle to go to Canada now anyway. Read @hybonix's thread. He was in your same

FUT suggestions
naakmuka replied to fito88's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Dr. Gabel, Bloxham and Hasson are all fantastic surgeons for FUT. I considered all of them but ended up going with Dr. Alexander.
