Hi, maybe get an opinion from Dr Sahar Nadimi at the Chicago Hair Institute.

I had my own HT's with her mentor, so I'm sure she is good.

4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013

1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018

763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020

Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day

Thanks matt, it cant hurt for me to do one more consultation while i wait.  her work looks pretty good, and doesnt look to be much more costly than what i am planning on paying for yaker, but shes got more reviews.  Ill ask for a consult and see if she would be hesitant to take me and what the wait is like.

I'm trying to follow this. Is the non growth in the same area where the scar from the previous surgery was? Or is it in a different place?

no, see the scar is that white line. the hair seemed to be fine on the scar. the area where it didnt grow wasnt scarred at all, it seems like a few spots were the density is just not as high, below the scar on the left and a smaller spot just above the scar on the right.

 

stangely it seemed to grow fine right in the scar, where i was told it wouldnt be able to grow. so that was good  as i said, not all bad. just need a touch up i think, and dont want to hurt what i have.

I’ve had 2 transplants with Dr. Arocha which I’ve documented/currently documenting here and I’m extremely happy with my results so far. His clinic is a 2 story office building surrounded by restaurants and shops. It is most certainly not a house. 🙂 I’m from Houston and that part of town isn’t unsafe at all. I mean, there’s a Trader Joe’s literally across the street.

I’m not saying any of this to talk you into working with Dr. Arocha, however, I do think you should take lots and lots of consultations with as many docs as you can.

What little I’ve seen of Dr. Yaker, while positive, just wouldn’t be enough to make me pull the trigger. I wanna see A Lot of results by whatever doctor I choose. I have also seen a few negative reviews. 

Dr. Nader in Reynosa, Mexico is an excellent option. His costs are low and his many patient reviews on this site are, like, 98% positive. He can be difficult to get ahold of, though.

Dr. Nadimi as stated above is another really excellent option.

Dr. Gabel out of Portland, Oregon.

My assumption is that you’re not looking to travel over seas.

I will say about Dr. Arocha that he is extremely meticulous and very hands on during the procedure. He does pretty much everything except graft placement, however, he is constantly in the room overseeing the procedure while graft placement is happening-I realize you feel like that’s an issue, though. The team really takes care of you. It’s almost like a spa day. 😂 Seriously, though. 

Whomever you chose I hope they get it sorted out for you. Good luck!

You know, I don’t know that she does. That’s something you could ask during the consultation. She was trained by Dr. Konior, who’s truly a hair transplant wizard, so I’m sure she’s more than capable, however, I believe their practice is specializing in FUE now. There have been a few FUT cases coming from Dr. Konior on here somewhat recently so maybe she does, too? I haven’t seen any, though.
