I just had my surgury this following monday/ tuesday(jan30/31) couldn't be more pleased with the staff at shapiro medical group. Let me start off by saying that thier operation is second to none. The care and time that they put in to every customer that walks through thier door's, not just me but every person that was being treated at the time of my visit was handled with care and compassion for what their specific needs were. I'd like to personally thank the staff including but not limited to dr ron shapiro, matt, tom, gywen, sylvia and janna.

I went in with modest expectation's, and they far and away exceeded them. Anything i addressed as a concern they all took a personal interest in. You can really tell they care about making the best possible result for you. An example of the character of dr ron shapiro. I went in for an fue procedure and at the end of the procedure he sat me down and told me that he was more concerned about my psoriasis and how can we tackle it(not to say that he tought i wouldn't have a great result with my procedure) first hand.
I just got back home got back home today, i'm waiting for them to send me the picture's. I'll do my best to update picture's as the time progresses. I'm very excited i think i'll have a great result.

These photo's are from today and yesterday..

Congrats man!! Looking good, heal and grow well.

Please note that there is some swelling as some of the picture's are taken 1 hour after my second day of fue, almost all the swelling has gone away and as of right now i'm not in any pain. Actually i had almost no pain through out the whole process.

wings,

Congratulations and thanks for taking the time to document your experience with Dr. Ron Shapiro and the staff at SMG!

It's not surprise that you received the red carpet treatment. They work looks clean and refined and your hairline design is superb. Can't wait to see the results. I hope you will continue to update us on your progress.

As a plus, you have some thick long back hair if you ever need some BHT as filler in the future.

Day 4 post Op and the break down.

1 hair grafts -473

2 hair grafts -894

3 hair grafts -504

Total hair's = 3773

According to Tom the lead FUE Tech at SMG, i Had at least 5 six hair graft's and 1 seven hair graft taken from a .9mm punch, according to him this is very rare. Because of the density of the graft's that were taken. They were cut up into 1s,2s and 3s. So less then the "NORMAL" amount grafts had to be extracted from the back of my head. So as for any future loss, i would still have a good donor area. From what i heard. There are still mixed reports about thinning in your donor area as you start to age. As this is my first HT, i'm very optimistic about the future.
