    afrno5147, a 26-year-old man, had a 2400-graft FUE with Dr. Kinler at Ziering in 2023, paying 16 grand, about 6 bucks a graft plus taxes and fees. He posted at day 1-2, chose her partly because she did not make him shave the top, and said the team was informative and nice. He said he was very happy so far while noting he cannot speak for the results yet.

    • Great experience, plans a second surgery with her source ↗
    • Followed her advice to treat wider area source ↗

    J-Loch, aged 23, posted at 5 months after an FUE of 2,500 grafts (first titled 2,000, then corrected) at Ziering Medical in Connecticut with Dr. Rae Lynne Kinler. He says the surgeon "was awesome" and that he had a great experience, and plans to return to her for a second surgery around the 12-month mark for more density. He followed her suggestion to treat the hairline and wider area at once, though two commenters questioned spreading so few grafts. Commenters said growth looks good for this stage.
