  Update 10/17/2026 After an excellent experience and amazing results from my first FUT procedure last year on March 20, 2025, I returned back to Dr. McGrath for my second FUT procedure on October 7, 2026. I chose to return because of the trust and care that I received from him and his team from the first surgery. This time 3,127 grafts total were transplanted across my frontal hairline, mid-scalp, and crown, with 150 single grafts in the hairline area. I am currently healing (day 11) and look forward to documenting my progress over the coming months. I'll continue updating this review as my results develop after follow up visits I have from the 2nd procedure. I would also like to recognize Dr. Michael Hughes, who assisted Dr. McGrath during my second procedure and has been part of his team since last year. I appreciated his involvement and professionalism and wanted to acknowledge his contribution to my care for this second procedure. I highly recommend Dr. McGrath at McGrath Medical for any individual needing a hair transplant. Military and Veteran friendly Doctor and supportive of service members also. His whole team is outstanding and professional! The hair loss I have came from my father’s side of the family. Mine was worse than any of my past family members, including my father and grandfather. My hairline started receding when I was in the military at age 19. Every year after that and at the age of 36, the sides of my hairline kept receding and eventually the sides and crown became almost gone and extremely thin. The middle lower end of my hairline always remained where everything else used to be, but only very little but still there. I finally decided to do something about it in 2023, when I first started the combination medical therapy. After being on it for 2 years and 2 months some of the lower middle hairline and back top of the crown darkened a little bit and came back in these areas but not enough to not have a transplant and I was still a Norwood 6, only with more thickness and extra hairs became darker also. I chose McGrath Medical after researching several different doctors in the US and viewing the before and after results of individuals who had similar hair pattern types to mine. I went to 2 other doctors before choosing and they both heavily pushed doing a FUE robot procedure, which I was against and avoided. It was hard to find individuals who had a similar case to mine also, being a Norwood scale 6 with severe hair loss and just having very little hair in the middle part of my hairline area on top, I know that I made the right choice. Most people would probably work on their crown first, but that was not what I wanted. I know that I will need two transplants for more coverage and to fix the front scalp and crown area as a prior Norwood 6. I ended up having 4,421 grafts total (900 single grafts) as an FUT to my hairline, including all sides and front. There was zero pain from the needle for numbing because of the medication I took just before being numbed, which I also appreciated. March 20, 2026 makes it the 12th month after getting the FUT and the results are outstanding. It’s nice to be able to look in the mirror and see a complete hairline now, instead of just hairs in the middle only (almost nothing) like I had in the past. I’m glad that I’m no longer a Norwood Scale 6 after my first transplant. Looking at older pictures when I was a Norwood 6 and now it doesn’t even look the same. I enjoy taking pictures with my family (something I avoided in the past, but now look forward to scheduling), so the hairline was the most important for me when making a decision. I will definitely be coming back for a second hair transplant on my front scalp, mid scalp and crown in the future (1 year). For me, it’s not about what anyone else sees, but how I see myself when I look in the mirror and go about my day. I don’t think anyone wants to be bald headed. I am thankful and glad I had the opportunity to get a hair transplant here.

  I previously had my first hair transplant done elsewhere and was disappointed with the results. Dr. McGrath not only addressed that prior issue but exceeded my expectations. The results so far have been incredible, even better than I thought possible for my situation. I’m only 5 months in, and I’m already extremely happy with the result. Highly recommend Dr. McGrath’s expertise

  I recently had an FUT hair transplant for hairline with Dr. McGrath in Austin and wanted to share my experience, especially since there is a lot of mixed information online about FUT and U.S.-based surgeons. From the in-person consultation through surgery and recovery, the experience was professional and straightforward. Dr. McGrath personally spent time with me designing the hairline and explaining the plan in detail. I never felt rushed or pressured, and the focus was always on creating something that would look natural and age well. On the day of surgery, Dr. McGrath and Dr. Hughes performed the strip excision and created the recipient sites themselves. The medical team handled graft dissection and placement. This was clearly explained to me ahead of time and matched exactly what happened during the procedure. Communication was clear and consistent throughout. As an East Asian male who prefers to wear my hair longer, preserving my existing hairstyle and donor area was very important to me. Recovery has been much easier than I expected. Even from the week 1, I had very little pain, almost no swelling, and healing has gone smoothly. The donor scar is currently almost invisible, especially when my hair is worn longer, which I believe is due to my hair density and the closure technique. I chose to stay local instead of traveling internationally and am very glad I did. The level of care, follow-up, and accountability made a big difference. Based on my experience so far, I am very happy with my decision and would recommend Dr. McGrath to anyone considering hair restoration, especially those who wear their hair longer and are deciding between FUT and FUE.

  It’s been a year since getting a Hair transplant done by Dr. McGrath and his team. Probably one of the best decisions I have made was to get this procedure done with McGrath Medical. Dr. McGrath and his team were very professional and caring . Made the whole process easy and reassured me with any concerns or questions I had prior to and after the procedure . I personally feel that if you had any thoughts of getting a hair transplant done, Dr.McGrath and his team is the place to go. The results are impressive and for me at about 6 months I could already see how good the results were going to be. Definitely highly recommend Dr.McGrath and his team.

  Please read the first review as this is the second half that includes during and post surgery -The Ultimate Haircut The only pain I felt during the surgery was when the numbing agent was applied to my scalp. After that, I didn't experience any pain during or after the surgery (rather shocked). It was a team effort to remove and professionally place the hair grafts properly with the corrected direction for them to grow out naturally. Dr. McGrath did the bulk work of the sensitive process. Because it's exhausting work, Dr. Dodge and him would tag team. I didn't notice a difference between their efforts. At first, we weren't going to transfer any hairs to my crown but Dr. McGrath and his staff could tell I really wanted to close out my bald spot. To my surprise, they went ahead and added hairs to my crown and I later found out after surgery that they went so far as to add 200 hair grafts at no expense (2700 total)!! It was professionally executed and I have zero complaints. The staff of assistants then secured the hairs and ensured its integrity. Everyone exceeded the standards of my expectations and I couldn't be happier, plus it was painless! I am very happy that I bought the recovery kit even though it was $300.00. I was on the fence on getting it but decided I would go with the process and I'm lucky I did. I can't imagine adding Neosporin or a healing gel to my scalp. Please do not cheap out like I almost did. The spray bottles are effective and you can't buy them from the seller (I tried). My scalp healed within 8 days but I stayed on course with the healing outline provided. -Botched? At first my hairline looked amazing and I couldn't believe the transformation but one by one all the hairs fell out and I began panicking. I called Dr. McGraths office and expressed my concerns. I was reassured that this was a part of the process and that it would be ok. After a while, none of the hairs grew back and I began emailing Ms. Bianca who handled the situation with the utmost care and reassured me that it would take some time for them to regrow. She was right! Fast forward to today and I have a little jungle forming. Every morning I rush to the mirror and count the new little guys that start sprouting. It feels like Christmas in the spring. I will update this post with better pictures as soon as the new hairs are to length (30-60 days from now). UPDATE: month 4 pictures (Image 4+ 5) - ADDED month 6 (image 6+7) I am extremely happy to share my story with anyone who reads this and I hope this testimony helps you decide if hair restoration is right for you. It will take time to see results but results you'll see!
