First met Dr. Paul Cotterill in 1991. After 20 years of transplants and a scalp reduction, I KNOW this was/is the best doctor and greatest results I could have ever wanted.
To simplify my journey, I have made a blog.
Hair transplants for some are not a one time surgery. For me I would be with little hair but I was patient and took the only road to results that are simply the greatest.

The cost you have posted seems way too low. I'm in $35k and I still need more. Scalp reductions are not cheap I would guess that alone is $6K to $10K. I've had eight procedures over the last 15 years.

The cost is difficult on this site as the CAD US Fx fluctuations never end. Remember I started 1991. IF I remember correctly, scalp reductions with Dr Martin Unger were 4K cad? A session with Dr Cotterill was less than 4K AND the best thing is Dr Cotterill kept pricing the same during the years of procedures. I've met other surgeons and money goes higher for revision surgery or additional. Remember transplants and scalp reductions is a long commitment and not a one shot surgery like rhino or bleph etc.

At 49yo now having great hair it has become a non-issue. Years go by and I color my hair every month and no loss and let's face it, hair is a big factor that makes a man look young. In my case anyway.
Do it right and like me you will enjoy the results for your whole life. It is not a one time quick fix. Be patient and if you need a few sessions, do it and let the hair grow in 6-9 months later.
One of the best investments ever!

At 43 years old, I can honestly say that after 4 hair transplant sessions and one scalp reduction since I started this journey in 1991, I am very happy with my transplanted hair and how much it has added to my personal and professional life.

I first noticed in my early 20's
how my hair was starting to fall out. I tried minoxidol and every product you could ever imagine and eventually did the comb over.

The smartest thing I did was start my process early in life so that today in my 40's, I have a great head of hair.

I still believe that a man's hair loss is like a woman's battle with wrinkles. I didn't want to lose my head and in the 90's people didn't have their heads.

Let me share my journey with you so that you can learn from my experience.

Can you tell the difference in my hairline from 1991 and the other pictures taken in 2008 and 2006?

I love my new set of hair and will dig up even more pictures to give you a well rounded view.

I was lucky. After trial and error...mainly error with 2 bad starts BUT then I found a great doctor in Toronto. Dr. Paul Cotterill. He was patient, professional and simply the best hair transplant doctor I have ever found.

I have a natural hairline that other doctors could never achieve. People can't even tell that I had any transplants done.

hello Bibu,

thanks for your post, quick question: You said you also had a "scalp reduction"?
Am I understanding it well? YOu wanted to reduce the size of your forehead and had skin cut and your hairline pulled literally forward??

Am asking because I am going to have a HT soon next month and until then , as I hate my forehead ( too big) I was also eventually considering , one day or another, to have it reduced.

So, have I understood you well? If not, please explain.

Thanks

Hello fabsean,
I did have a few scalp reductions to raise the "sides" and allow less grafts to be needed. The cut is in the middle of the scalp to crown and is around 5 inches long and max of 1 inch wide is cut out each time and sutured up. It was nothing related to forehead size but more related to increasing the size of the donor area as well as removing that bald area. I am glad I did it this way but not sure how many doctors do scalp reductions these days. I would have been completely bald if I never had scalp reductions or transplant sessions.

You're welcome. Dr. Paul Cotterill is a pure genius and artist in hair transplantation. I had some bad experiences with a doctor in Beverly Hills and another in Toronto that were botched jobs. Thank goodness Dr. Cotterill could start anew and correct the mistakes from those other surgeons. Pick your doctor wisely!
