After speaking with a plastic surgeon and trying both Propecia and Rogaine, I started looking into hair transplant surgery. After doing some research, I scheduled a consultation with Dr. Bernstein. His office was really beautiful and the staff were all understanding and discrete, which was great because I didn’t want to make a big thing out of this. In the consultation, Dr. Bernstein asked me about my hair loss, about when it started, the meds I took to combat it, what I could expect from hair transplantation, the difference between FUT and FUE, how many hairs I would need, how the transplanted area would age, and a million other things. I know this is a bit ridiculous to say, but he really impressed me. I understand that some people are looking for someone to take care of them as they ask these, admittedly delicate, questions, but I was just looking for an expert surgeon who could answer all my questions, who wouldn’t try to sell me on anything, and who wasn’t biased toward either FUT or FUE. Bernstein fit the bill. After another consultation and a few months of deliberation, I was in the operating room, ready to get an FUT procedure. Bernstein and his team were very nice and told me what I could expect. There was a huge T.V. in the operating room and they asked me if there was anything I’d like to watch – I actually don’t even remember what I was watching now – but I told them and before long, I was walking back out of the office (it turns out I was in there for around 6 hours). It has only been 10 days so I can’t really report on the quality or the hair growth or how it looks, but I can say that Bernstein and his staff were excellent. It was a very easy operation and the recovery has not been that bad (though I did experience some significant swelling). Looking forward to seeing the results!
