826 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 (edited) Hello, I'm a 33 year-old, Norwood 3 who has been slowly losing hair since age 19, and it's looking bad enough that I'm seriously considering a hair transplant. Who are the best FUE surgeons from Raleigh to NYC? I live at the midpoint of those two places and would like to see someone within driving distance. Other details: -Both of my grandfathers were Norwood 6s, my father luckily only ever became a Norwood 3 Vertex, and my mother has thin hair. -I have been taking generic finasteride for over ten years, and though it noticeably slowed my hair loss and even reversed it a bit in the beginning, it didn't stop it. -I don't want to get an FUT procedure because of the risk of permanent scalp numbness and because I am prone to keloid scars. -I'm willing to go as far west as Pittsburgh as well for the hair transplant. Thanks Edited March 1, 2018 by 826 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aWidowsPeek Posted March 1, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted March 1, 2018 Getting on a plane isn't a big deal man if it means seeing a better doctor than a local one. Don't make that mistake. Post some pictures to get good opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mattj Posted March 1, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted March 1, 2018 Like many people, I flew across the Atlantic for my procedure. I definitely wouldn't limit my choice to within driving range. I am a patient and representative of Dr Rahal.

826 Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 There are 69 million people, several major cities, and surely hundreds of FUE surgeons in the geographic area I've described. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member euge Posted March 2, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2018 Dr. Jerry Cooley I think, is one of the best on the East coast (the only issue for me was the price) ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JohnCasper Posted March 3, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted March 3, 2018 I agree with others, don’t limit yourself to a local surgeon unless they are fabulous. It’s too big a decision and an extra $350 to fly somewhere is not much when your considering hair surgery. I flew from Louisville Kentucky to Charleston SC to have my FUE procedure done by Dr. Vories. You also can’t beat the price of $4-5 dollars per graft and all grafts are removed and placed by Dr. Vories. Others will suggest excellent surgeons as well. Do your homework on this website. I was a Norwood VI. You can check out my website which chronicles my whole journey since 2012 at My FUE Hair Transplant. Best of luck to you and keep us posted. I am an online representative for Carolina Hair Surgery & Dr. Mike Vories (Recommended on the Hair Transplant Network).
