19 Years Later, a Second Hair Transplant
I had my first hair transplant 19 years back with a doctor who has since retired. I did not lose the transplanted follicles but progressively lost a good bit of hair around (reducing density) and acres behind it. As I was contemplating another transplant, my brother who had his transplant done (hair loss runs in the family, what can I say) in late 2023, recommended Dr. Wetzel. In parallel, my hair stylist said I should take a trip to Turkey, get a nice hair transplant for a song and save myself a bunch of money. Raging wars in that region and unknown medical malpractice laws were a buzz kill, not to mention getting medical advice from a hairstylist is not necessarily a bright idea.
I had made up my mind (1) to get it done locally (Atlanta GA) and (2) to consider at least 2 practices. My first call to Dr. Wetzel changed my opinion on shopping around. It felt like talking to friend who would take good care of me rather than a clinical conversation around a medical procedure. My subsequent in-person meeting cemented that feeling and I decided to go with Dr. Wetzel.
From the time I decided, the process of scheduling the surgery, pre-op instructions, the actual surgery itself and post op support has been a peach with Dr. Wetzel and his staff. Their office in Atlanta is homey and not over the top flashy like some practices that do cosmetic procedures. The surgery itself was a very smooth affair, and the only discomfort was sleeping in an upright position the first four days after surgery. Tylenol every 6 hours became my best friend for close to a week and I did bug Dr. Wetzel at random times both during the week and the first weekend with mundane questions like; day 3 – my head slipped from the neck pillow without my knowledge, and I was resting on couch headrest when I woke up, are my grafts toast? Instead of telling his nurse to call me and calm me down, he called me back right away personally and responded to my unfounded fears like a concerned friend.
In summary, the FUE technique followed by most hair transplant surgeons is similar and so is the cost for the most part. Likewise, the results are also not going to be dramatically different from one another. Being treated like a friend / family rather than patient # xyz was important to me and that is exactly how Dr. Wetzel and his staff made me feel. I highly recommend Dr. Wetzel for your hair transplant needs. You are not just in good hands, you are in great hands, with him. All the best.
