Hi everyone,
I am in search of an affordable hair surgeon in southern California to fix my damaged hairline from traction alopecia. I am a 23 year old female college student and only have 2,000 dollars in my savings, which is all for my hair restoration mission. I have gone through the list of doctors from the IAHRS list, and they are all very good but I don't know if I can afford any of them. So far I have been to the Ziering Medical office in Newport Beach and I have messaged Dr. Umar last year. Both doctors told me to try rogaine for at least 6 months. Well, I did it for 3 months and it actually helped to grow little hairs in my temple area, but I discontinued using the product because I started reading about the bad health effects of minoxidil. I am really protective of my organs and don't want any chemicals to be absorbed in my bloodstream to damage them. Anyways, I was happy with the itty bitty growth in my temples, to make my hairline appear more natural and blended into my forehead, until a few days ago when I took a visit to my derm for a laser hair removal session.
I was doing laser on my face (if only I could transfer the hairs on my face, which are plentiful, to the hairs on my temples), and my derm burnt off the hairs that I was growing back, since they were near my brows and kind of blended into my temples. I went home and cried because it felt like all that work of 3 months and the 50 bucks spent for it had gone to waste. I thought maybe now I should consider doing surgery. I am going to apply coconut oil and rosemary oil to my temples and massage every day until this winter. If nothing grows, I will do the surgery.
My biggest issue in finding a doctor is affordability. I will have to start paying back my student loans beginning this summer. Also, I cannot pay upfront, as I only have 2,000 saved. Through googling, I found Dr. Sean Behnam, who has 5 star reviews on the internet, but is not listed in the IAHRS. He offers a VERY affordable plan, with monthly payments that are up to $219 per month with no interest. Is this too good to be true? It seems kind of fishy that he's so affordable, but I have read great reviews so I'm not sure what to think. This is his website:
If you google his name you can see the reviews.
I have a long way to go, but would like to find a doctor by the end of this year. I need as much advice as I can get.
Thank You
