Hi Dr. Epstein,

Thanks for checking in. I'm doing very well. I recovered much faster this time. I've had no numbness on the top of my head at all. The scabs are all gone and the incision only rarely gets a little sore. And in fact, when I went back to work the Friday after the surgery, I was sent down to Florida for the tornadoes and was able to work some marathon days, on camera, with no problem. You're amazing.

Thanks again for everything - the surgery, the privacy you've afforded me and your kindess.

Doctor J,

It's been a couple of years, and I can't tell you how happy I am with the procedure. No one, and I do mean NO ONE, can tell. Even those who I DO tell don't believe me. Thanks for a wonderful out come and a terrific experience. You and your people are top notch!

Thanks Again,

Jeff,

It has been 3+ months now...must confess that I was skeptical about hair growing in my eyebrows where I had not seen it for years... but you prove me wrong... This is looking good... My left brow is pacing ahead of the right side. Can't wait to see the final product!.... After all, patience pays...

My procedure with Dr E was a very positive experience all round. The surgical team and office staff are all very professional and friendly - you'll be given a warm welcome and treated very well on the day. The procedure itself was quite a long one - I had 2000 grafts and a scar repair to correct the results of previous UK surgery many year ago - so I was in the chair for over 5 hours. However I didn't suffer any great discomfort during that time, and Dr E and the team were very supportive.

Unlike my surgery in the UK I didn't suffer from any noticeable post op swelling, nor any shock loss in the recipient area. I did suffer some residual shock loss in the scar repair area, but this recovered within four months and was easily disguised by a slightly longer hair style at the back during that period.

I was very pleased with the results, both in the short and longer term.

Short term I was celebrating Christmas in public just a week after the operation, with no noticeable effects from the surgery. Longer term I started seeing the benefits of the new hair growth within 4 months, and after around 17 weeks I was able to have my hair cut to a number 2 at the front and 4/5 at the back, and look perfectly normal.

You've made a very sound choice with your surgeon, Chris, and I have every confidence you'll have a good experience and see a very pleasing outcome.

The best advice I can give you is to go with a positive outlook and make sure you follow all the instructions for care of your transplant pre and post op.

There are some good threads concerning Dr Jeff, which include some pre and post op photos of my case, on the Hair Restoration Discussion Forum. Plus, you might still be able to read "Neil's Story" which I agreed to publish on Dr Jeff's website Foundhair.com, as a UK testimonial to his work.

Good luck, and if I can be of any further help before or after your operation, please don't hesitate to come back to me.

Best regards,

Dr Epstein:

My first note to you was one month after the procedure, on 30 October. I wanted to do this second note after exactly 2 more months had passed; sorry that I missed this a bit with the holidays. Here are the results by region:

I need to make an overall observation. I look down at the hairs on my chest, and - if I didn't know it intellectually - I wouldn't believe that these hairs were anything but natural. The pattern is perfect; they appear to grow from fotally normal skin. I appear to have a totally natural - and wonderful - hairy chest! It's just so Great!

(I've now got more hair down there than my dad and am finally giving my brother a run for his money. My brother's hair is about the same density as mine but thicker and grows upward in the area just below the neck, making it more visible there. His hair appears to be about 1-2" in length. I've let my hair grow a bit longer in that region and groom it upward to achieve a similar result. In fact, with this technique I've finally gotten a better "open-shirt" hairy chest than my brother! Let's hear it for Sibling Rivalry!)

There are no words to thank you enough, Dr. Epstein.

And when the new growth comes in, it can only get better!

(a greatful & enthusiastic fan)

Jeff:

Greetings from Long Island. My hair is doing great and I am enjoying it very much. You did a great job.

I am taking proscar about 1mg/day in place of propecia. 2 questions:

1. Could the proscar be causing the low testosterone?
2. If I supplement the testosterone, does that have the potential to accelerate hair loss and if so, do you have any suggestions? Thanks for your time.

I was in an infomercial recently. Here is the link if you want to see how good my hair looks. http://youtube.com/results?search_query=h

Hello Dr. Epstein,

I hope you had a wonderful holiday! Thanks so much for your kindness & compassion during my experience at your office. Your staff is also terrific!

I am back in Washington, DC (healing) & wanted to follow up with you re: my procedure. Is it possible to forward you my general thoughts & then schedule a time to talk via phone? I am glad to work around your schedule.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Jeff,

Procedure was easy for me this time. Your new assistant is a keeper, gentle, efficient andpleasant. I took a digital photo of my head a few minutes ago, zoomed in and was very impressed with the coverage. I am excited to see what my hair will look like in 9 months. Hopefully I will meet my goal in looking no older than I actually am ;-)))

Take Care,

Hi, Dr Jeff, Thanks for the email. Everything is fine and seems to be healing very well. I went back to England to go to that park I was telling you about but the weather was so bad we decided to get last minute flights to Egypt instead. Had a great time and did not over expose to the sun. Just wanted to take this chance to tell you how pleased I am with the treatments and service you provided. I think the beard is going to look really good. I am pleased with the eyebrows although I have a feeling that there may be a few spots that I would like touching up a bit. I suppose it hard to tell until its fully regrown. The work that was done on the nose is also very impressive and I am very happy with the result.

I am going to wait for three months and see how all the hair regrows.

Overall I am very happy with the service you have provided. Your staff are all very nice people and I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout my stay.

I am looking forward to seeing how it all regrows!!

I am very excited to see how all of this works out.

As you can imagine it is a bit nerve racking going through this process, but I am glad I did it. Thanks very much for your help. I really like the way you placed the hairs in the front of my head - I can tell from the scabs that these are more densely placed, and this is obviously why I went with you because I trust your judgment on how to get the best results here both technically and aesthetically.

I'll email you with any other questions and let you know how things proceed.
