WORTH IT$4,500
I’m 30 years old, and I’ve had widows peaks since I was in my early 20s. I wanted to fill them in with hair, but it wasn’t a possibility because of money. I finally saved up, and decided to go with Dr. Nader because of other reviews.
I contacted Dr. Nader since April 2017, but didn’t have a response until August 2017. I had sent another email stating I was sure I wanted the procedure with him. That got a response, and got my date set. My procedure is tomorrow (December 28, 2017)!
I sent some pictures to fill in the widows peaks, and maybe lower the hairline. I was recommended 2000 grafts via email, and I hope I need less when he sees me in person.

Day of treatment
Day of the HT!

I can’t believe the day finally arrived!! I sent an email to Dr. Luis Nader in March 2017. I tried again in the summer stating I was sure I wanted my HT with him. I received a response and scheduled my procedure for December 28, 2017 (today)!!
I flew in from Los Angeles and I’m currently staying in McAllen, TX recovering. :)
I received an email from Brenda two days previous to my date. She asked me for my number, and told me Mr. Santos was going to pick me up at the hotel at 7:45am. I couldn’t sleep all night long! I kept waking up, and I believe I only slept 3 hours. I ate breakfast, and was told Mr. Santos was already waiting for me at 7:25am! I rushed to my room to grab my belongings. The drive to the place was very short! Dr. Nader was already there.
He greeted me, and made me feel welcomed. He asked me about myself, and how what I do. We then started talking about baldness in my family, who I look like more, etc. I told him I feel like I look like more like my mom, and from my mom’s side everyone has a lot of hair. My dad is bald, and some of my uncles are starting to become bald. He said I could probably loose hair in the future, but that I might be good if I look more like my mom.
We then started to talk about the hairline I wanted. I didn’t show him any pictures, and there was one picture I had in mind. I told him I didn’t want the widows peaks, and he started to draw a hairline that would be best for my face. I told him I didn’t want a high widows peaks, and there was some modifications. We both agreed after about an hour an 20 minutes. He reallly understands, and really considers your comments. He started to prep me to begin with the HT, and started telling me more about after care, propecia, rogaine, etc.
He asked me if I wanted to chop all my hair off, or keep some of it. I decided to cut all of it so that it wouldn’t look weird. I’ve never had it this short, and I feel weird! At first he had estimated I would need 1500 grafts, and in the end I received 1900 grafts. I changed, and I went to one room where he started to numb the back of my head. He uses a device that sort of massages your head, and then you feel the needle! I felt small pain with the needle in some areas of my head, not all of it. After that, he started to punch the holes. I would say this part last about two hours. During this time they started to play music on heir speaker. I mostly listen to Spanish pop music, and I knew every single song!! I loved it!! I felt too embarrassed to sing though, and they were also very quiet counting the grafts. They were very careful.
After that we all had a break, and I ate the tacos! They were good. :) After the meal, Dr Nader told me to take two pills and we were ready for the next part!
I believe Dr. Nader started to prep me for the next phase around 12:40pm. I tried not to look at the time, and watched Las Estrellas the entire time. He used the same device for the front of my head. It felt like a massage, and then I felt the needle. After that he injected me with more anesthesia. He started inserting the grafts to the front of my head/forehead. This last part seemed like the slowest to me. It ended around 4:35pm, and then Dr. Nader told the nurses to clean up, while he printed the instructions for after care.
Dr. Nader didn’t mention payment at all until I brought it up. I felt embarrassed knowing he had done all the procedure without me paying first. I felt so comfortable with him, and can tell he really loves his job. He does all the work with the nurses! I would really recommend Dr. Nader to anyone that is thinking of doing a hair transplant. :)

Day 1

I’ve been taking the pills as I’m supposed to. I have not felt any pain. Tomorrow I’ll wash my hair for the first time as Dr. Nader told me. I haven’t removed the gauze from the back yet, but I’ve seen the bottom. It doesn’t look bad!
