I Want to Make a West Coast Road Trip For My Consultation.

hello dr rassman, pak, and co,

I am a 33 yo male who may be travelling to the west coast in october and is considering trying to set an appointment for an honest opinion regarding options for my hair loss (if any). if one were deemed a good candidate for either the strip procedure or fue, essentially what is the time investment needed to be in the area for any checkup/followup/aftercare. is there a necessary follow up evaluation a few days or week post op? i ask this now bc if a master plan is suggested i would need to plan around a work schedule. i wasnt sure if a 2 week commitment is recommended to then allow someone to return to work without detection of the surgery. i would be travelling from the pittsburgh, pa area. if it helps i use couvre/dermatch and toppik concealers as part of my daily routine currently. ideally id return to using those products until any results showed from any procedure.I appreciate all you do on this site as well as helping restore patients self confidence. thanks in advance.

We would be glad to meet with you for a consultation.  You can always make an appointment on line at newhair.com (Look on Bottom Right)

Many people travel from out of town to have a procedure in Los Angeles.  In general you can set aside 1 to 2 weeks depending on your comfort level.  Some people actually go back to work 1 or 2 days after surgery.  The only follow up is the day after surgery. Every person is different.  Many patients also use temporary concealers (Toppik) after surgery to disguise the immediate look after surgery.
