Regular Member Unbrokenlink Posted June 11, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 11, 2022 Hi all. First post here so not sure if this is the right place. Apologies if not. I was wondering why Dr. Epstein was removed from the forum as a doctor? I’m down in sofla and was thinking about going with him. But lots of mixed press. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member John1991 Posted June 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2022 Can't speak to his status as a surgeon, but I'm pretty sure he didn't kill himself. So there's that. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE TRUTH Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Epstein is a legit. From what I've seen he does good work. He's been around for a very long time. He's the doc who trained Gary Linkov. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your best bet is Dr. Glenn Charles, Dr. Paul Rose, or Dr. Bernard Nusbaum. Out of those 3 I'd easily go with Dr. Glenn Charles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is saying the holes will be “closed” in another 72 hours. He is not saying u will go back to normal skin in 3 days. Not even a fool would believe that.

Hi literally says "within 3 days it will be completely healed up" , he doesnt say anything about "holes" and "closing", I doubt you even saw the video.

I thought Artas the way to go Please don't get artas. The punch is still big, and they harvest from a very small area, and from several cases, the results are subpar compared to a skilled surgeon. Yes it's still done "manually", but most now use motorized punches, which is faster and more efficient than real manual punches. Imo it's better since it means the extraction will be done faster thus less amount of it being outside of your body compared to same amount of graft vs manual punching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THIS theres absolutely no reason an artas should be used by a competent hair transplant surgeon. The artas is straight up a SHORTCUT and cuts time for a surgeon to not be present in the OR. A skilled hand will be better in every regard compared to a machine running on an algorithm like the artas. The prices that most of the doctors charge that use an artas are typically the same as a doctor that performs the surgery themselves. Again, the artas has no place in a competent surgeons arsenal (IMO of course). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment is about the patient and those like him. What is the point of going through a hair transplant just to go back and get it all removed to hopefully end up where you started??? If you are OK with the hair you had then why go through with a hair transplant??? This boggles my mind and this guy isn't the only one. We see a number of people post on here just after the transplant asking how to reverse it. Please think about what you are doing before going through with surgery! This just doesn't make any sense.

I intend to reverse my hair transplant The reason for this is that I and many others make the mistake of getting a hair transplant in the first place. For example I dont take any medication against hairloss so eventually the area behind the recipient will be bald which is a bad look. What I find weird is that the guy chose to waste the grafts, my guess is that its because of financial reasons. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
