Regular Member JohnRosh Posted February 7, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hello! I am a 43 year old male and I have been losing my hair for about 3 years now. I recently decided that I want to go through with a hair transplant and I have been trying to gather as much research as possible regarding the procedure. I have a consultation scheduled with Dr. Yazdan at the Modena Hair Transplant Institute in Irvine, Ca. for a few days from now. What are some good questions to ask and what should I look for? What is considered a reasonable price per graft for the strip and FUE method? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member tacolinowest Posted February 7, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2013 ask him if your donor density is good, tell him that you wish to plan for future baldness, future surgeries, ask him if he has pics of people with your type of hair loss be4 and after pics, price wise i think4-5$ a graft is good for strip, and 8-9 for fue,, those are both coming from top docs in nyc area, also if you live in california and wish to have fue i would look into dr umar, haven't heard much about the doc you were talking about good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member JohnRosh Posted February 9, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 9, 2013 Thanks everyone! I went for my consultation today and it went really well! Dr. Yazdan showed me some pictures and a video about the procedure. I found the video on youtube if anyone wants to take a look, it's really informative: I was really happy with everything at this doctors office but since it was still one of my first appointments I think I want to go to another consultation. I was looking into Dr. Zeiring. I'll look into the other doctors that 1978matt has suggested too, and make a decision from there! Keep you guys updated. Thanks!
