Dr. Wolfled NYC

[Barnan12550]

Hello Community, 

So I’ve now waited 7 months to start posting my results. To be honest I think the reason I’ve waited so long is because I was unsure of my results. I wasn’t unsure of my Dr. I like him very much, he was genuine and easy to talk to and explained everything. They even answered an insane amount of questions I had pre and post surgery. The waiting as we all know can be annoying to say the least, even after reading so many of your stories and knowing the results take time. 
I’ve finally reached the point where I am extremely happy with my results thus far and look forward to the next 6 months or so of growth that hasn’t happened yet. 
I am currently still taking oral finasteride and topical minoxidil, both from KEEPS. I use all natural shampoo and conditioner and when styling my hair I use Keeps Thickening Pomade. 
 

I will wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Michael Wolfled and his team in NYC. Aside from being a trained plastic surgeon, he trained under Bernstein for years. As I stated he was great to talk to and answered all questions with thoroughness and patience. I guess a great review always has something negative as well to pint out. So here is mine: the only negative thing about my procedure was the lunch options. Lol 

Included in procedure were two sessions of PRP injections as well. 
 

So the information about my procedure:

FUE

2193 Graphs 

I think about 8 or 9 hours 

 

I am hoping all of my photos uploaded in correct order and that I did it correctly.

Did your doctor inform you you would need multiple surgeries for total coverage?

This 1st surgery does seem to be an improvement from your baseline - and for all I know this was your objective. Depending on your age, personality, and other factors, you may be totally happy still having some balding evident.

But....if your goal is youthful, full restoration with zero signs of male pattern baldness, I imagine you will need 2 more surgeries. 

Not sure what your donor looks like.

Since when are you taking medication? How old are you? What is the plan in the future?

He did tell me that. I am contemplating but of course won’t see full growth until the 12-18 month mark. 
He told me I could get another 1200 or so graphs from my donor area no problem. I may consider another doctor for only one reason, Dr. Wolfled does not pull from the beard and I can get easily 1500+ from there for density. 
 

I highly recommend Dr. Wolfled though, if he pulled from the beard area he is the only one I’d go back to. 
 

Yeah to me the 1st surgery so far is definitely an improvement, I look forward to seeing what my full growth looks like in a few months.

I’ve been in the medication since the surgery so 7 months. 
 

I'm 42 years old 

 

The future is see where I’m at in month 12 and probably do one more surgery and pull 1000 graphs or so from normal donor and at least 1500+ from beard. That’s the hopes.

Thanks for replying. Is there a reason you did not use medication before the surgery? You should definitely focus on the frontal third in the second surgery, full coverage won't be achievable in your case. Wish you all the best and keep us updated!

I did here and there over the years but never kept up with the medications. I wish I knew how important it would’ve been when I had more hair. lol 

 

Thank you for your advice, when I speak with my potential doctors I’ll ask them about doing more in the frontal 3rd. 
 

I’ll definitely keep you all updated on my progress.

In NY you can try looking at Dr Robert Dorin at True & Dorin. He takes grafts from beard and chest.
