Robert Dorin, DO

6 days post-op FUT HT with Dr. Dorin , African American male I am 6 days out FUT , and decided to post progress and experience for others that may be considering HT . I am pleased so far with the experience with Dr. Dorin and his staff. From the initial consult to day of surgery , I found Dr. Dorin and staff to be responsive , easy to contact , and overall easy to deal with. Initially I wanted FUE but after consult decided to go with FUT , mainly because of higher graft survival rate. Dr. Gave me the info on both procedures but left it up to me to decide which I wanted. He was informative but did not pressure me either way. After I decided I was able to pick a surgery date , which I later changed to a much earlier date easily through the office this was very convenient. I got 1546 grafts mostly on hairline a few on temple areas. Day of surgery was easy and overall pleasant , I fell asleep during suture removal part virtually painless , also was pretty out of it when Dr. Dorin made incisions for grafts so didn’t feel much of anything . The only part somewhat uncomfortable was laying in same position for longtime for grafts to be placed in , towards the end I just kept wishing it was done already. Post op slight pain as head felt Numb and somewhat swollen but nothing major. I am 6 days post op and curious on opinions from other who have had procedure , looks good to me although I know any hair that comes in will shed and regrow in few months. Have added pics for context first 3 pics are at Dr office before procedure , then next are the donor area shaved followed by donor area after suture removal , then hairline post op same night , then finally the hairline 6 days post op, last pic is the type of surgical cap I wore to conceal HT. FYI I got it done on Friday and returned to work on Monday but wore a surgical cap to hide HT while at work and traveling to and from work , also wore surgical cap when out side to avoid sun exposure . Any advice , comments, and or questions welcomed .

Always great!!! just had my 5th hair transplant with Dr Dorin I added more volume to my hair line this time around . but go way back having my first one with DR Dorin the results are great . I can style my hair the way I want and put good quality hair products in my hair and get compliments all the time especially from women . They are the best I wouldn’t go to anyone else I live in Boston so I have to travel but its worth it . The staff is second to none they make you feel right at home . No pain trough out the procedure.. Absolutely the best I’m sure I’ll be back at some point again to do some touch up

My experience with, True & Dorin was great. -They explained exactly what the procedure was, and what I needed to achieve the goals I wanted. - I went for an FUE procedure with PRP injections - My hair was skillfully taken out from the back of my head, and placed in my frontal left and right temple areas - I worked with Dr. Dorin and his colleagues, they are true artists - I’m am extremely pleased with the results

Through the age of twenty-three, I never thought I could suffer from hair loss. Genetically, I had inherited my mother's thick head of hair. She died when I was a child, but the hair was always a reminder of her. When I was twenty-four, the unthinkable happened: I started to develop a receding hairline. Then the hair loss started to spread through the front third of my scalp. I started to panic. I live in Massachusetts. In 2013, I decided to visit one of the local hair loss doctors. I had my initial consultation with him, and would return to discuss treatment options. I was not at all impressed with the doctor's bedside manner: he was arrogant, and I always felt rushed while speaking with him. And he did not promise me any spectacular surgical results, insisting that I should have a "mature" hairline. But I was desperate. I returned to his office in fall 2013 for an FUT surgery. I had scrounged up the many thousands of dollars he was charging, endured the surgery, and hoped for the best. By fall 2014, I found myself bitterly disappointed with the results. While there was some growth, the reality was I did not even look slightly better. Deciding that I had had enough of this doctor, I found another in Massachusetts, who recommended an FUE surgery. I had spent summer 2014 on Ebay selling off my childhood toys and possessions, and could now pay for this surgery, for which the office promised to reduce the price if I booked it sooner rather than later. I had the surgery that fall, but by summer 2015 I observed no growth. I graduated from doctoral school that July, and had been so looking forward to a fuller head of hair for the occasion and for taking pictures. I was devastated. I had by now grown accustomed to using Toppik to hide my thinning hair. I had become very self-conscious and found myself suffering from depression and anxiety. Then I heard about True & Dorin in New York while spending time on the Hair Transplant Network online. I went for a consultation with Dr. True in Boston, who classified my hair loss as "3A," and was confident his practice could help me. I wanted to check in with his colleague Dr. Dorin too, whose work impressed me (based on what I had seen online). He took the time to call me and speak with me about my goals and concerns; I instantly liked him. I was ready to give hair transplant surgery one last try, and was ready to journey to New York City and entrust myself to Dr. Dorin. In August 2015, he performed an FUT surgery of some 2000 grafts. In the process, he worked toward removing the wide, ugly scar on the back of my head that my first doctor had left behind. During the whole process, he was courteous, sympathetic, empathetic, and methodical. Unlike my first two doctors, who made the incisions and then disappeared, Dr. Dorin made the incisions and then kept coming to check in on me and speak with me. His staff were so kind and supportive. And then something wonderful happened in 2016: my hairline started to fill in. By that summer, I was no longer using Toppik. My anxiety and depression had disappeared. Because I was so happy with the results of my 2015 surgery with Dr. Dorin, I returned to see him for a touch-up in January 2017 - an FUT of almost 1000 grafts. Once again, Dr. Dorin and his staff impressed me. Those grafts grew in, and now no one can tell that I ever suffered from hair loss. My story, which I was not sure would have a happy ending, did have one. I now have a variety of styling options; a friend of mine recently joked that my hair looks like Johnny Bravo's! Wherever you may be, investing financially in and traveling to see Dr. Dorin for hair loss surgery is well worth it. Do not settle on doctors because they are local or economical, like I did. Whom to see for hair loss surgery is a major decision; not all hair loss doctors are created equal. Dr. Dorin is not just a doctor; he is an artist. He is excellent. He changed my life. I recommend him wholeheartedly and without hesitation.

I’ve been going to Dr Dorin for my hair transplantation procedures for over 15 years. My experiences have always been top of the line. True & Dorin are the ambassadors of an amazing 5 star organization across the board... Dr Dorin and staff are personable, professional & master’s of their crafts... I’ve sent countless family/friends for treatment and the results are always incredible we nicknamed them THE HAIR GODS!!! I owe my luscious mane of vitality to Dr Dorin he has turned my dream of a full head of hair into a reality.

I was absolutely pleased with the entire process. From the consult, to the procedure, to the followups, True and Dorin was fantastic. I never felt pressured to go through with the procedure, and they took the time to explain every detail to me. I'm more than happy with my results and encourage anyone looking into a hair transplant, to go with True and Dorin!

I had a 650 graft FUE transplant with Dr Dorin in September 2018. As a patient in his early 20's, I was understandably very nervous going in. I was blown away by how calm, friendly, and professional the team was. Their demeanor really helped me calm down and feel comfortable with the whole experience. From the initial consultation that morning with Dr Dorin where he drew my hairline, all the way up to the end of the procedure, I had full confidence in him and his team. They always made sure my comfort was first priority and I could tell they took great pride in their craft. I mostly had work done to restore my temples. The results really started coming in around month 6-7, and by month 8 my hairline looked completely nature and filled in. The goal was to be very conservative due to my young age. Even with the small amount of grafts I had, I was really impressed with the coverage. Needless to say I am very satisfied with the results and will be going back to Dr Dorin for any future procedures. I started on finasteride and minoxidil about a month after the surgery, I've stopped the minoxidil since then.

Highly recommend ! My hairline is full and more importantly totally natural looking. Dr. Dorin is one of the best surgeons in the world, the staff is tremendous, and my confidence has been fully restored.

I wanted to show you guys what my donor site looked like on day 2. I'm no doctor, but I think Dr. Dorin did and excellent job cutting and stitching me up. Looks nice and clean. I'm on day 6 and it's healing nicely. I apply Bactroban twice a day to the area. I can't wait to get them removed next Monday. They're definitely uncomfortable and make it difficult to get a good nights sleep. Updated on 18 Jan 2017: Hi All! Wanted to share Day 7 with you. Today I resumed shampooing in a full strength shower vs. day 1-6 where I had to pour water mixed with shampoo out of a container. Taking care of the grafts has been the easiest part (for me). Today I returned to work and wore a lose fitting headband to hide them. The donor area/sutures has been the most difficult for me. I couldn't sleep at all last night.. not sure how others do it- any recommendations? I use a travel pillow but it's still very uncomfortable to lay on. Can't wait to get them removed! Updated on 12 Mar 2017: Hello Everyone. This is my 2 month update. Going forward I'll try and post monthly updates. The transplanted hairs all shed right around the 4-5 week mark. As you can see I don't have much growth yet but I do have tiny thin hairs coming in on my hairline. Since my procedure I've gone completely natural w my hair. I don't use heat, my hair products are all natural, I do weekly scalp massages w essential oils. I'm also taking hair vitamins. My scalp still feels a little numb and sensitive from the procedure- it's def not 100% back to normal yet. Luckily I haven't experienced any shedding of my own hair; only the transplanted hair. I still have a long way to go but I'm confident that it will grow in beautifully. Please the new pics I've uploaded. Updated on 11 Apr 2017: Today I make 3 months post op. I'm excited to see new hairs coming in! Updated on 9 May 2017: Hi All. I uploaded 4 month post op pics. So far I'm really happy w my results. I do weekly scalp massages with essential oils such as castor oil, coconut oil, lavender and peppermint oils. I also take 3 gelatin tabs a day. I saw my surgeon for a 4 month follow up this week and he was impressed w how quickly my hair is growing in. Updated on 15 May 2017: Updated on 8 Jul 2017: Hi Everyone! I'll be 6 months post-op in a few days. I'm loving my new hairline and edges. I'm sure more hair will grow in but so far I've made great progress and feel soooo much more confident. I highly recommend the procedure and Dr. Dorin. If you're thinking about doing and have the money or the option to finance it, DO IT! I wish I would've done it years ago and not have struggled with hair loss and feeling embarrassed for so many years. I feel a lot better about myself so although the procedure was expensive it was worth it because I invested that money in my self esteem and confidence. My scalp still feels a liiiittle tender in the crown area. I don't think I remember it feeling tender to touch before the procedure, does anyone else feel this? I'm going to reach out to my surgeon and see if this is normal? Either way- I hope this helps! Feel free to ask questions. Xo Updated on 9 Oct 2017: Its been 9 months since my surgery and I couldn’t be happier with my decision of getting a hair transplant. Having edges has been a major confidence booster. I highly recommend the procedure to anyone suffering from traction alopecia. Its been life changing to be honest. Check out my pictures. I definitely think Im going to need a second procedure to add density but overall i am happy w the results and no longer have to be afraid to wear my hair down on windy days and being afraid of people noticing I was balding. On warm days I glad to say i can tie my hair up in a bun an no longer be ashamed. I will wait the full year before I decide to do a touch up. Updated on 6 Jan 2018: Cant believe It’ll be one year since my surgery in just a few days. Hands down the best decision Ive ever made. If you suffer from traction alopecia and are debating whether or not to get the procedure done, you are wasting time.. go book a consult NOW!!! This experience was 110% worth every penny. I am so much more confident now and I was able to inspire one of my friends to get the procedure by sharing my journey w her and it makes me so happy. New pics attached.. check them out Updated on 4 Feb 2018: Hi everyone. I wanted to show you all what my hairline and edges look like with my hair down or when my hair is up in a loose bun. As I mentioned in a previous update, I could use more density on my frontal hairline but it isn’t really noticeable when I wear my hair down or when I slick it back. I try to wear my hair down as much as possible to avoid putting any tension on my edges. Once the hair grows in, its easy to fall back into the trap of tight hairstyles but I really try and stay away from tight hairstyles. I mean its okay to ear your hair up every now and then but not to the point that you cause damage again. Hope this helps!
