Hair transplant 2 - USA,Canada or Belgium ...

[rstill]

Hi, I had a transplant back in 2005. As this doctor was referred to me by one of the most respected hair consultants in London, I didn't bother researching anyone else. Mistake. I wasn't happy with the result and told her this a year after I had the transplant. I asked why it didn't work as well as she believed it would - she had no answer. I have been using toppik for the past few years which is amazing. However, using toppik isn't practical in the long term.

Aged 33 now, I am now looking into a 2nd transplant ...

Ideally I would have liked to have it in London where I live but obviously it's all about the doctor and not where they are based. This has led me to these doctors who, according to results and the 100s of forums I have looked through, are the best ones are around ...

Dr Feller (USA - NYC/Long Island)

Dr Bernstein (USA - New York)

Dr Rahal (Los Angeles/New York/Toronto)

Dr Shapiro (USA - Minnesota)

Dr Hasson Wong (Canada - Vancouver)

Dr Bisanga (Belgium)

Dr Feriduni (Belgium)

However, while I say destination isn't important, New York or Belgium would obviously be more convenient for me thus Feller, Bernstein, Rahal, Bisanga and Feriduni would probably be my preferred choice.

While FUE sounds great, I would accept whatever the doctor recommends. They know more than me!

If anyone could give me any advice that would be much appreciated. After having one that was a semi-failure (the doctor has since been panned for her results from numerous people), I really need to be confident with my choice and hopefully get a successful transplant.

Many thanks,

Rob

Bottom five on your list are my personal favourites from your selection.

Good luck with your decision. You should take some good photos and consult with all the clinics you mention, find out what is possible. Consulting with them all will give you a very good idea of what is possible.

For you it depends on your level of loss and how much damage the failed transplant caused, was it strip or fue? If it was strip your laxity will play a large part in what can be done to revise the scar.

This can only be assessed in person so you should try to see some Doctors or consultants in person. Belgium is a short train ride away for a consult and you should add Farjo to the list to consult with in person.

I will be in London in January if you wished to meet up.

I respect your choice. Before selecting a hair transplant I respect your choice. Before selecting a hair transplant surgeon, please try to visit her/his website and clinic and see their results and testimonials. You will definitely get an idea about the reputation of a surgeon.
