Patient burntherug's hair transplant review

About

Started losing my hair at around 20. Went to Scare Club for Men and had a $120.00 hairpiece rubber glued to my head for $1200.00. After my panic attack from being claustrophobic about this new addition to my head, my sister cut it in so that it looked good enough to show my face in public. After wearing that for about a year, I had back to back Transplants by Rich Giannotto. I will not refer to him as Doctor. He hacked me up pretty good. Then I went to Dominic Brandy to try and fix the hack job by Giannotto and the only thing that was fixed was the hugh scar tissue from Gianatto. It seemed as though he used a butter knife to cut the donor area. Worst pain I have ever felt back there. Back to the hairpiece for the last 9 years to cover up the bad work. I found this web site and went to a recommended Doc. Doctor Robert Haber. Going to Dr Haber was a breath of fresh air! I had 2352 graphs done on Jan 14th 2008 and it was virtually pain free! I was so concerned because I remember the long nights of no sleep from the pain in the donor area. Dr. Haber was so awesome that I had virtually no pain and slept great from day one. I am so excited to see the results and burn the rug!

My Non Surgical Treatments

Hairpiece

Bald Class

Norwood class 4

Characterized by further frontal hair loss and enlargement of vertex, but there is still a solid band of hair across the top (mid-scalp) separating front and vertex.

Dating was the most difficult because I wore a hair piece. I was always so nervous about a girl wanting to run her fingers through my hair. Also when I would go to the beach I would get depressed looking at all of the guys with no hair piece and the freedom of being able to be under water with no worries. I would have paid anything to just have a nice head of my own growing hair. I cant remember what it feels like to go to the hair salon and get a hair cut. When I go to the massage therapist I have to tell her not to massage my head so that she does not feel my hair piece.

None yet but am very optimistic about the 2352 grafts that Dr. Robert Haber just did!

From Doctor Haber, absolutely! From Rich Giannotto, I would not let my worst enemy go to him.

Hair Transplants from a highly recommended surgeon.

TBD

Stay away from Rich Giannotto and Dominic Brandy and do your research on this web site.

Bald class: 4

Procedure 1

9 14 08 Without Toppik or Dermmatch All of the work that Dr Haber did was on the frontal section. I did not have any work done on the middle or back of my head. I still may get that done along with a bit more up front. Dr Haber had to hide some bad work done from 10 years ago. I think that he did a nice job!

9 14 2008 With Dermmatch and Toppik

Vacation Pics This is about a week shy of my 8th month of having hair transplant surgery with Dr. Haber.

6 and a Half Month Pics With a Little Toppik I took some pics today with a little bit of Toppik. Makes a nice difference. I am so happy with my hair transplant results only 6 and a half months in that I am BURNING THE RUG! It's gone baby!! Wow! What a great feeling! Thanks Dr. Haber!

6 Month Pictures Well, it's been 6 months since my hair rtansplant and things look right on schedule. I have been shaving my head for the past 4 months or so because I still wanted to wear my hair piece untill I had at least 50% growth of my new graphs. I feel like I am there so I am now letting it grow and will be "burning the rug" very soon!

6 Days Post Op Very little scabbing because the bleeding was under control before I left the office. Once again Dr. Haber did a good job of hiding the bad work that I had done from Giannotto.
