Hi there, so I'm planning to have the surgical...

Hi there, so I'm planning to have the surgical hairline procedure done hopefully beginning of November with Dr. Jeffrey Epstein. I would love to have some advice, tips, or anything about this procedure or Dr. Jeffrey Epstein. Him and his team have made me feel comfortable thus far and so I want to share my story along the way :)

I had my consultation with him and I was told to be the perfect candidate for this procedure being that I have a lot of scalp flexibility. Dr. Epstein marked from when the incision will begin to how far the hairline can be brought down to.

I'm most nervous about an ugly scar or HAIR LOSS! ;(

I was recommended to start using Rogaine for women 2% before the procedure so that is what I'm going to start using now in preparation for November. I feel as though my hair is thin and I would like to strengthen it. If you have some tips and advice for this please share!!

Other than that, I am excited for this procedure and I've seen such great results through images.

I know that my words will mean nothing, but your forehead is perfect. I would give anything to have your hair and forehead! I got the surgery a few years ago and now im suffering from both permanent hair loss and the unsightly scar. My hair was thin too but I'd much rather have that problem then the problems I have after getting this procedure...but I wish you the best . Make sure you ask the doctor as many questions as you can and ask how he would help in the event that any problems arise.

Oh no! Your my first negative review I get :( Do you think there was something to prevent this? Do you have genetics hair loss? Have you been trying different methods to help regrow? If so, what have you tried? What did your doctors advise you to do? I've seen such great results that I feel okay with knowing the risks but I would be so devastated if hair loss were to be permanent for me. Thank you for sharing!

I don't want to discourage you from getting this surgery but I just had to share what happened to me. Like I said, I would give ANYTHING to have your size forehead and hair..No genetic hair loss. I had thin hair (nothing abnormal) and lots of laxity. Nothing will work because the hair loss is permanent. Make sure you do lots of research on this doctor. Doctors have told me that this procedure, along with a brow lift *same technique is used* can cause hair loss and i may be candidate for grafts but its not definite.

Don't worry about hairloss too much, I had none (6 weeks post op, didn't use any rogaine although I was advised to, my hair is much thicker and growing quickly with a multi-B vitamin and zinc) and I think if you have good scalp laxity and you aren't trying to lower ridiculously you will be fine! But if you read other reviews the girls who had hairloss still don't regret it and it'll grow back! And although I couldn't wear my fringe back with no makeup yet I can already tell my scar is going to all but disappear with hairs growing through the scar already. You won't regret it! Best thing I ever did!

FUT + FUE hair transplant with PRP

Elle5115July 14, 2019

In fear of having hair shock loss with SHA I decided to move forward with FUT + FUE procedure. I am now on day 10 of healing. This will be a longer journey but so far I am happy with the placement!!
