Making a final decision: restoration surgery in south FL

[JustJoe]

Keep in mind, at age 27, I had a full blown bald spot and recedeing hairline. Propecia and Dr. Bauman both restored my hair.

Here is another example of Dr. Bauman's wokr on my hair:



Go talk to him or email him....THEN you can think about if he or someone else is best for you. I had 4 procedures. A total of about 5,100+ grafts. I also had Neograft, which is a new method that has no scar and less healing time.

[Mr. 4000]

total money spent?

I think it is important to mention as well

Bauman is Best

You're in Boca Raton? Dude it's Alan Bauman (BaumanMedical). I asked about 20 people intimately familiar with hair transplant physicians and repeatedly got one name: Bauman. Went to him 2 years ago and was thrilled. Going back next month. If he did heart surgeries I'd get a new heart just because he's that good.

Stay away from Bosley in Boca or any Bosley for that matter.

Thanks so much for these replies and private messages. I'm really glad I found this place. I am definitely going to take way more time and do much more research and due diligence because of the feedback I'm getting here. This is for the rest of my life, so, I need to be 100% sure of who I'm going with. Please keep the feedback coming!

True & Dorin

True & Dorin - I have been chatting with them over the last month.

I am a big fan of their work.

Have a look at the work they did on Corvettester.

do you want an honest surgeon?

ask them to produce picture of their worst patients

if they don't have any, run fast the other way they are lying out their nose

[TheFirst17]

I'm considering FUE with Dr. Dorin and True.
I've been consulted for 400 grafts.
I'm pretty much fixing a hairline I've had since birth that I never liked, So I haven't lost hair or anything (fingers crossed tho).
Just wanted to know if anyone had any experience with them.
Where can I find Corvettester?

[TheFirst17]

Thank you, Mr. 4000! I will do just that!

Thanks Joe, I appreciate it. Please do send me a message with the before pictures. I was classified as a 6, so I'd probably need a large number of grafts.

Dr Epstein is the only Dr in Fl, that I would even consider touching my scalp.
My top choices are as follows,

1. DrRon Shapiro
2. Dr Dorn, even over Dr. True, which also happens to be his mentor
3. Dr Jeffrey Epstein, Boca, and, Ny he travels, but I believe his main office is in Miami, or Boca area.

There are other fine surgeons, I even have to mention H & W group. I see alot of nice result coming that way as well.
Best wishes in your choice, Im sure you will make the correct decision.

[Mr. 4000]

look for patient that have similar hair, scalp thickness, and skull characteristic as your self in those pictures, good and bad.

Ask for their contact info so you can talk to them or meet them in person.

Pictures can be photo shopped, and can often show lies, some people are paid to pose as patients but never had a surgery, beware of that scam too.

Stay away from emails, so easy to mislead a patient.

Keep reading my thread with Dr. Alexander it will teach you all you will ever need to know about the crooked side of this industry.

Mr. 4000, is the doctor your speak of, one of the doctors from this site? ---> http://www.iahrs.org/

That's where I started, I live in New York and I found Dr. Dorin/True.
I went in with them twice already. And asked to speak with some former patients during the 2nd meeting and I will be talking to a hand full of them.

The doctor told me my treatment is rather small, considering that I'm looking to "fix" a hairline, rather than treat an area that had hair there before. Where I'm placing my donor hair, I never had hair there before. I was "born" with a house like hairline, that I never liked lol. Always wanted it to be more straight. I just never thought I'd ever be able to do anything about it.

And I'm doing FUE, by the way.
No FUT. No strip scar.

Mr. 4000 can you please show us your pictures already! You have been posting your story and warnings for months but still zero evidence. You are hijacking every hair transplant thread and it’s really becoming annoying. Let’s see the pictures. Without pictures your story and warnings against hair transplants have very little credibility.
Thrfirst17, if you are not balding and are just trying to improve upon what mother nature gave you, I would think twice before having any kind of hair transplant surgery just to fix the natural shape of your hairline. Save the grafts for a time you might really need them.
