Dear TC17,

My name is Vladimir V Panine, MD and it is a great honor to be introduced to the community which guards integrity of hair restoration.
In answer to your questions, I have been performing hair restoration procedures since 1994 (Birmingham, Alabama Meeting) and FUE procedures for the past three years. Our next photo album will be that of a patient with "plugs" from overseas corrected with a series of FUE procedures, including FUE from the chest.
Bill has mentioned already that we use titanium punches 0.8mm to 1.0mm in diameter and top out at @ 700 grafts per session. Our clinic charges $ 10 per FUE graft.
In regards to the second question, the patient who received 2452 grafts in the crown area has a high posterior fringe (donor area), excellent donor laxity and density. Patient's hair loss is stable over the past three years and he faithfully takes Propecia ( he started 6 months prior to procedure). If a decade ago we would have hesitated to perform surgery, today due to the advent of Propecia we felt that the risk/reward for this 27 year old patient was worth it.
In conclusion, my excellent staff and myself would like to thank reviewers for positive and encouraging comments about our results and our clinic. We will continue to post our results on a weekly/monthly basis and look forward to working with the community.

I like what I see in each link Bill put up!

Thanks to everyone who took the time to offer their input on the potential recommendation of Dr. Vladimir Panine.

After carefully considering all the evidence we acquired including the impressive results presented on this community over the last year, Pat's review of his evaluation of Dr. Panine and his staff in live surgery, and feedback from the patient and physician members of this community, I believe that Dr. Panine deserves to be recommended on the Hair Transplant Network.

He is now recommended and his profile can be viewed on the Hair Transplant Network.

Best wishes,

Bill

Dr. Panine,

Thank you for responding to my questions. Congratulations on a much deserved honor and please keep posting more great results.

Im a little late heading into this discussion, especially as a decision has already been made. But I would still like to add my thoughts. Primarily, to congratulate Dr Panine for his inclusion on the recommended list of Dr's here on this network. I am also in full support of his inclusion, and feel that his results and documentation are very good. Im very interested in viewing more of his work and gaining patients experiences.
Again, congratulations. May your relationship with this community continue and prospur.
Regards!
