Forbes Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Hey I was totally against doing any type of hair transplant until this month when I started researching it more. Now here I am, almost booked my surgery with Ziering Medical here in NY next week. Somehow I ended up in this forum and it seems that may not be the place to go. I’ve seen a couple surgeons name pop up numerous times who may be better options. Dr Diep - called them but I probably would be able to get surgery with them until next year sometime. Dr Dorin- going to schedule a consult but haven’t seen much about African American hair. Dr Feller- same as Dorin Dr Bernstein - same as above Dr Konoir - seemed to popular on this forum so definitely scheduling a consult. I’d have to fly to Chicago for this one. I’m 31 and ready to have a hairline again. I would’ve done it sooner but I was accepting baldness. But why accept when it’s fixable right. I attached a pic of the top of my head. Any input would be helpful as I really just found out about these surgeons in a short amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted August 10, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 10, 2021 You dodged a bullet by swerving Ziering ! Dr Diep, Dr Bisanga, Dr Mwamba and Dr Lapunzula all do good work with Afro hair. If your staying in the US then Dr Diep is certainly worth waiting for. However if you can travel then Belgium in particular has some good options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted August 10, 2021 Administrators Share Posted August 10, 2021 You’ve got some good names. I suggest setting up a consultation with each of these doctors and ask to see some patient results with your level of hair loss and hair texture. Afro hair is a specialized technique. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Senior Member BDK081522 Posted August 10, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 10, 2021 You're going to have to travel to get optimal results but most surgeons mentioned will do virtual consultations. Some will do video or just submitting photos with your goals. If you're not already on medical therapy that should be the first step. Set up a consult with a dermatologist or even PCP to get a prescription. You have a decent amount of hair to save still! Glad you found the forum before booking a restoration. 2 1 Bosley 11-2016 FUE - 1,407 grafts Dr. Diep 09-2017 FUE - 2,024 grafts Dr. Konior 03-2020 FUE - 2,076 grafts Dr. Konior 09-2021 FUE - 697 scalp to scalp, FUE - 716 beard to beard Total scalp FUE - 6,204 grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
