ramj4013 Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Hi guys, Just wanted to share my insight on my hair transplant experience at True and Dorin medical group. I had a FUE 4 days ago with approximately 820 grafts (1400 hair). Firstly the staff and technicians are very friendly. It was very relaxed atmosphere. I had a previous hair transplantation surgery in India and was satisfied with my results. I stopped using propecia and this resulted in accelerated loss. My scar in donar area was thick and the lenght of the scar extended upto 1 inch above my ear. I contacted Dr.Dorin for initial consultation and he recommended a FUE procedure. The only pain that I felt was during anesthesia and after that it was pretty much painless thoughout the surgery. After 4 days, I dont have any major pain in donar area. I saw a lot of posts where people said they had tremendous post op pain for FUE surgery. So, I was skeptical to go for this procedure. Now, I think I made a right choice. Positive points: - No swelling - No pain after the surgery in donar area (except minor pain which can be avoided with ibuprofin or any pain killers) -The grafts were very skillfully placed. I dont see any irregularities - Excellent crew and very relaxed environment - Overall I am very satisfied Negetive points - Pain during anesthesia (which cant be avoided) - My surgery was approx $9 per graft which was at high end but I think it was worth the money. I will let you guys know the results in a few months. My impression was that True and Dorin group is exceptional and I highly recommend to any new patients. I would like to thank you guys once again for such a useful website. I would have never found the right doctors without your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted September 6, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted September 6, 2009 Congratulations on selecting a great clinic. You should be very happy with the end results. If you have the time, you should set up a blog through the forums to showcase your progress as the transplant matures. I also just wanted to add that I don't think $9 a graft is too high of a price for FUE. For strip maybe, but I believe Dr. Feller, a fellow hair restoration physician in New York, charges $10 a graft ... so very similar.

Senior Member Severn Posted September 12, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted September 12, 2009 you mentioned the length of your donor scar but not the width. How wide is your donor scar at the widest point? My Hair Loss Web Site - Dr. Ron Shapiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramj4013 Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Severn, I am not sure what you meant by "How wide is your donor scar at the widest point?" can you please explain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member prezident Posted September 13, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted September 13, 2009 ramj4013, How wide is your donor scar at the midpoint? I hate to speak for Severn but I think that this was probably the info he was interested in. Prezident Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
