Dear Dr. Epstein:
I just wanted to send a not to thank you, Ed, and everyone else at the clinic for my making my procedure such a positive and seamless experience. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I really appreciated it.
At this point I'm looking forward to planning for one more new procedure within the next year or so, so I'll be in touch about that.
Again, thank you very much for everything.
Muchos saludos a todos,
The procedure that changed my life
Hello, Roxy & Dr. Epstein!
Just wanted to give you a little update on my hairline advancement, also known as the procedure that changed my life! it's been 6 months and all I can say is WOW! It's growing in very nicely...in some patches but I concur that's totally normal.
THANKS AGAIN!
Just a quick note to thank you again for everything yesterday
Dr. Eptstein,
Just a quick note to thank you again for everything yesterday. I'm home now and everthing seems to be going well, will keep you updated. Everyone I met at your office was so helpful and nice, I can't imagine a better group of people to work with. big hugs to all of you.
I just wanted to thank you for the extra time and attention
Hi Doc,
I just wanted to thank you for the extra time and attention while I was visiting Florida. You earn my trust more each time I meet you and work with you and your staff. The punch holes are healing nicely so far. How long before I should see the Kenalog working?
Thanks again,
Dr. Epstein and his staff treated me with compassion bordering on love
My name is Melanie, and I am writing to share my experiences having hair follicle grafting with Dr. Jeffrey Epstein, in Miami, Florida. I do not know how long this writing will turn out, but I will promise you all several things:
- My hair loss has caused me to cry a lot over the years
- Dr. Epstein and his staff treated me with compassion bordering on love
- Dr. Epstein's work looks so amazingly natural that NO ONE can tell that I have had follicle grafting, even after I choose to share it with people
- And finally, I will cry as I write this (in fact, the tears have already started, making it harder to see the stupid keyboard!)
I am a 43 year old woman, with an endocrine issue, which has lead to fluctuations in my hormones. In my 30's, I began to lose hair in the corners of my hair line, and it also began to recede. I have spoken with other women about this, and it is so devastating. People tell me that I'm pretty, but that is hard to see when I see my scalp. I've gotten really good at styling my hair to minimize the effects of the hair loss, but even that has limitations: When I put my hair in a ponytail, I have to be very careful to place my hair just right so the thinness is not apparent. I live in Florida and I can't go swimming, because when thin hair gets wet, the loss is really obvious.
This is Florida, and there are countless doctors performing surgeries of all kinds. And even among those who specialize in hair replacement, every skill level is represented down here. I wanted a surgeon who not only had a lot of experience, but who specifically had a lot of experience working on women. Dr. Epstein came highly referred by two other top plastic surgeons, and thus, in the spring of 2006, I had a consultation with him-at the same time I met Roxy, Dr. Epstein's office manager; this woman defines the word "love." Dr. Epstein asked me what my goals were with respect to my hair restoration, and through my tears, I said to put my hair in a ponytail again, to be normal. I think that it was then that he hugged me and said that WE'D get there.
In May of 2006, I had my first surgery, in which Dr. Epstein did about 1,950 grafts. Long story short, the days of plugs are OVER! He removed a strip of scalp from the area of the back of my head with really think hair density (by the way, it is nearly impossible to find the "donor area" once it healed!), and then his technicians removed the skin from each follicle using really cool microscopes. His staff are ALL professionals.
Once the follicles are prepared, Dr. Epstein uses tools that he designed himself to make tiny incisions into which the follicles (in groupings according to what looks the most natural) are placed. The whole process is nearly a miracle.
Fast forward a year, and I saw Dr. Epstein again, who felt that a touch up would be in order, and that really helped.
However three years later, I'd had some more loss, and on Friday, July 30, I met with Dr. Epstein and Roxy again, and we decided to do about another 1,150 to really thicken the areas which were the worst. Surgery was Wednesday, August 18, and I just can't wait until the follicles begin doing their thing (when they are first moved from the back of the head to the front of the head, they enter a temporary resting stage). I will be 44 in December; what a beautiful present to be able to see greater hair density for my birthday.and beyond.
I am very choosy as to whom I share this aspect of my life. IT IS EMOTIONALLY PAINFUL. Yet when I do, and as I mentioned earlier, because of Dr. Epstein's beautifully natural-looking work, even when I tell people, they are astonished; every graft simply looks natural.
Finally a few words about Dr. Epstein and his staff, but on a personal level: The other day I thanked Dr. Epstein for becoming a doctor, for this is what I believe he is best suited for in life. He has so very much added to my quality of life; in truth, I cannot thank him enough. Roxy, heart is only surpassed by her AMAZING ability to color coordinate; I love her.
To the staff Cindy, Susie, Peggy, Linda and Candy (and to those whose names I have forgotten, pleased forgive me!!!), you too are all amazing.
To put this all together in a neat little bow, God bless Dr. Epstein and his staff. My thinning hair was not only treated by one of the top hair restoration surgeons (and his staff) in the world, but on top of that I was treated with love, respect and compassion.
With deepest gratitude and affection,
Just to let you know, what a transformation I’ve seen in only 4 weeks
Patient from Norway
Dear Dr. Epstein and Jon,
Just to let you know, what a transformation I've seen in only 4 weeks, can hardly believe it. Within days of writing to you last time I felt a lot of short spiky hair coming through 'en masse', and I've actually developed a new hairline. Of course still some way to go but am optimsitic this is going to be great.
Best regards,
Thanks for following up. The procedure went well and I feel great
Thanks for following up. The procedure went well and I feel great.
Please tell Dr. Epstein that he and his staff made me feel really comfortable and relaxed during the whole entire process.
According to Dr. Epstein, I should start seeing the results in about 6 - 7 months. I can't wait...... I am so excited and glad that I finally made the decision to have the hair transplant procedure done.
Sincerely,
All is well here. I have been in for a few laser treatments so far
Hey Ed, All is well here. I have been in for a few laser treatments so far (including today). Cindy took a look at my donor site, and told me everything looks good. Dr Epstein was great as expected. His demeanor and expertise is what I was looking for, and I am very happy I chose him. Thanks for touching base.
Dr. E is one of the best in the world at hair transplants
Dr. E is one of the best in the world at hair transplants. He does personal consults with his patients to tell them their options as far as hair restoration. He answers all questions and concerns that the patient may have regarding procedures. The patient is always his top priority. In my opinion, Dr. E and his staff are the best in the field. I have had the same procedures done by other doctors in the past and the experience and results do not even come close to the excellent experience I have had with Dr. E. If you want excellent results and a doctor that cares choose Dr. E. Dr. E likes to use his skills to restore the hair of victims of tragic events such as burns, accidents, and domestic violence. I am so thankful for this.
I decided to have tissue expanders placed in my scalp to get rid of scar tissue from a grease burn at the age of 2. I have had to get the same hair cut for the past 32 years. As a kid, I was made fun of about my hair. The results of how I was treated by my peers as a kid flowed over into adulthood. Prior to the procedure, I was always worried if my scars were showing. I sacrificed a lot due to my scars. I couldn't go swimming without people staring. I always had to worry about the wind messing up my hair and exposing my scars. So I decided to try to fix the situation by contacting a hair restoration doctor.
The pros to tissue expanders is the results are immediate. The hair does not lose the blood supply and is not removed from the scalp. The scalp is just moved over to cover the bald area. The downside to tissue expanders is the deformity that they cause for 2-3 months while the scalp is making new skin. I was able to cover it up with a bandana, but it depends how where the expander is placed and how large the expander is pumped up. I had the procedure done five times before and knew what to expect. With the advancement in medical devices, the expanders have external ports which make pumping them up a lot easier.
