Hi, im new to this site. I have been doing alot of research for the past year and I need your advise.
Im looking to get a HT procedure done to lower my hairline abit. Ive always had a high hairline since I was a kid, im not loosing that much hair, again its just to brign down the hairline on my forehead about 1cm and on the edges abit. My photo's are attached. Ive been reading much on FUE vs FUSS treatments. There are many advantages of FUSS from what ive read. I live in Toronto Ontario, up to date only 2 doctors come to my head. Dr. Alvi Armani and Dr. Robert Jones in Oakville. These im hoping are 2 reputable doctors. I called Armani today and made an appointment for a consult next week. Weird when I asked if Armani actually performs the surgery they said no. I asked if I pay more will that be an option, they said yes. So im guessing its his assistants doing the work, I also noticed he is very commerialized which in my eyes is not good. I went to see Dr Robert Jones today for a consult. He was very nice and so was his staff. He suggested I do NOT go with FUE as my graphs need to be dense and really packed in to get a full look in the front. It has to match with what I have and he said my hair is dense as it is. Also the FUE would cost around $18k and would take 2 visits to complete. He recommended FUSS. He said I would only need 1800-2000 graphs and would cost around $7000 which is reasonable for me. The procedure would take around 7-8 hours. The cut would not be to big, around 4 inches which i can handle. I want to know what you guys think, or if you know any reputable doctors in Toronto that would do better work. Thanks alot  hair1.jpg (68 Kb, 158 downloads) |

forget about Armani if he cant do the procedure unless you pay extra. Also i guess he doesnt have a good track record w/ FUE. As far as Dr.Jones i've never heard of him so i cant give you advice either way. Use the search engine on this forum to see if any one has had experience w/ him. I do know that you are pretty close to Dr. Rahal however and he's got a great track record. BTW i dont even think you need any work done from what i can tell!

If thats what makes you feel better than do it. Just be careful and do your research. When your done doing your research make your decision and go w/ your heart. Even if that means spending a bit more money to travel to a doc your comfy with. Best of luck!!

John; If you honestly did research and I do not think you would consider either doctor you mentioned. Please remember you are lowering your hairline it is important that you have the most natural look hair transplant possible because that is what people will look at first.
Three things you mentioned that would get me worried. 1) he is a nice guy....that has nothing to do with your results if you were to meet Dr. Bosley you would probaly think he is a saint. 2) You are not researching the best doctor only the ones in your area. 3) Although price is important, you have to remember that you will have this transplant for the rest of your life and shouldn't settle quality for price. If you do not have the money then wait. If you don't want to travel alot I would recommend both Dr. Feller and Dr.Shapiro. I assist H&W with translation when needed and available.I am not a rep, I am a full time real estate agent. My comments and opinions are 100% mine. |

For 2,000 grafts, I'd say you can get a world-class surgeon working on your head for around that $7k figure. Go down to New York, Minnesota or Virginia to one of those guys. I got 2,500 for $9k, so I'm sure you're pretty close anyway. Don't let another $1,000 determine whether you go with a first tier or second tier surgeon for a hair transplant. 300 'mini' grapfts by Latham's Hair Clinic - 1991 (Removed 50 plugs by Cooley 3/08.) 2750 FU 3/20/08 by Dr. Cooley Current regimen: 1.25 mg Proscar M-W-F Rogaine 5% Foam - once daily AndroGel - once daily Lipitor - 5 mg every other day Weightlifting - 2x per week Jogging - 3x per week |

Dr. Jones is average at best in the industry. Can you show me any good results from Dr. Jones that are not posted by him???
I got this from another website I hope that is not a problem.
I found this is one minute you need to research some more. The only thing worse than going bald is recieving an unacceptable transplant. Since you going want to go far. Research Dr. Feller and Dr. Shapiro as well. I assist H&W with translation when needed and available.I am not a rep, I am a full time real estate agent. My comments and opinions are 100% mine. |

Thank you.
I guess only one that is reputable in Ontario is Dr. Rahal in Ottawa. I may make the trip down. |

I am usually asking questions on here not answering but I will say this..... dont let geography stand in the way of going to the best surgeon you can. I live in Maryland on the East coast of the US and I travelled to Vancouver on the west coast of Canada to have my surgery done last week. I wanted the best and Dr Hassons office paid for the majority of my air fare and put me up in a hotel for two nights free of charge. So I guess you need to do your research find the best and go to them. I hope that helps!

If I were you I would check into a hotel the night of the surgery go see the doctor the next day and if you wanted to leave then you should be ok to go.

My surgery lasted like 12 hours and afterwards I couldnt sleep and my flight was at 5:45 the next day so I just decided to go to the airport. I was up for like 48 hours or something total so I would have had no problem driving home. I am sure you wont either but i would recomend spending the night there the night before.

I finished at around 6:30 p.m. but was high as a kite. I drove the 1/4 mile to the hotel, but I wouldn't recommend a five hour drive. Although there's no pain, those drugs can really impair your judgement.

Cool,, good idea.
Another thing I forgot to mention. Dr Jones said he actually trainded Alvi Armani in his office 2 years back. When I called Armani thought they said he would not be performing the procedure. So who actually performs the HT in the Toronto office of Armani ? Ive been researching and only recommendation I found were armani and Seager. I beleive Seager no longer is around and Mckenzie does the work now. Anyone have a good experience with him or any other recommendations around the Toronto area ? |

Actually I think it was more than two years ago. The rumour was and I do not know if it is true or not was that he showed him how to do FUE for 30 minutes and the next day they were offering FUE. But soon after that he was no longer offering FUE until recently. Dr. Seager would have been my first recommondation in Toronto if he was still alive. I can't comment on Mckenzie. I would still take a look at Feller and Shapiro since they are not that far. How old are you?? Are you taking medications??
