Here are some pictures of my procedure at the Shapiro Medical Group performed by Dr. Paul Rose. I must say that I have had dentist fillings with more discomfort than this procedure. Everything was completely great! I cannot explain in words how satisfied I am with the procedure thus far. Dr. Rose was the funniest, most entertaining guy and made the procedure even that more comfortable. In addition, the staff at Shapiro Medical are top notch and a sweet bunch of ladies. Well enough of this talk crap, I'm sure you're more interested in the pictures... Here's a pre-op photo of the top.

Top post-op picture up close. As you can tell it doesn't look very red. I have been very religious about applying the GraftCyte every half hour and the redness has all but faded already and I am only one day post op! Dr. Shapiro was amazed at how fast I have recovered in one day during my shampoo this morning and said that my results will be great. I had absolutely no bleeding last night and the preocedure was completely painless. I really have to say it wa a very positive experience!

Well this is the last photo that I'm going to post at this time. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me through this forum. For some reason my e-mail is down, so I'll be jumping in here from time to time. This final picture is of the donor site and the sutures. I know this seems to be the area of interest for most people. Like I said before, feel free to ask any questions. I really want to give back to those who may have questions. I was really helped on this forum and feel it's my turn to give back.

Im sure you will have great results, maybe i would prefer a little more agressive but yours will look awesome as well. So where are the pics of the great bunch of ladies?

I chose Rose because he is conservative. I don't want to have a thick, densed packed front and no donor hair remaining to fill behind. I will be going for another procedure in probably a year or two to fill in the temples, but I want to see how this turns out first. I knew you would be the one to jump in and say how "conservative" I was. It's no big deal, I just want to play it safer than sorry since I'm only 26 years old. I think you had a better hair count base than I did to begin with, so you may be able to go more agressive than I did. Hopefully this works out.
