What can I say. I was caught up in their advertisements and not doing any research. What was I thinking. Since joining this site, i read lots of people talking about FU procedures. Has any one heard Brad Limmer of San Antonio? Bosley has ruined my life, now that i have to wear a hat every day. sucks! The results i got was very spacey and the hairline was very detectable. Please inform me more about this FU procedure and how it is different than bosley technique. thanks

Griff-

Sorry it happened to you man. I've refined a checklist of things to look for in a good doc.

Click the link below, follow the procedures, and it'll take you to a handful of doctors who are right for you.

A number of them specialized in repairs. I know mine did (Epstein Miami), and he's got a lot of before and after pix of repair patients.

Don't try to reinvent the wheel. Unless you happen to live near an EXCELLENT surgeon, plan on traveling. If you are traveling - go to one of the very few top docs out there. Their rates are similar to other private practices and well under hair mill rates.

I'd suggest not picking someone who was convenient and asking around about how they are... instead, start from the top 10 docs and narrow from there.

You can find the top ones easily by looking at posts on this site, or by using my checlist below.

I had 1500 grafts with Brad Limmer in San Antonio approximately two months ago. Healing was extremely quick due to the use of a hydrogel dressing called 'second skin'.

There was an adverse response at my donor site due to the use of vicryl sutures. The response was mild and transient. My wife can barely detect my donor site.

During this period, Brad Limmer has been extremely responsive and helpful with prescriptions, answering questions, providing guidance, etc.

So far, I would rate my Limmer experience as excellent.
