I've seen numerous posts on here and other sites about HT Repair, and want to get the Board's opinion. I was unfortunately a patient of Dr. Weidig in Maryland in the early 90s, and my hairline has a pluggy appearance in the front, with not much behind -- the front, at least to me, looks pretty thick and unnatural). I am considering the following doctors: Wong, Shapiro, Feller and maybe Epstein. I haven't heard from Dr. Feller yet (I just sent him the info), and need to meet Drs. Wong and Shapiro in person, and I'm sure they are all top notch.
The question I have is that Dr. Wong's staff indicated that they would go around and between my front plugs, putting a little in front and filling it out behind so that it would blend in and look very natural (the largest plugs would be thinned). On the other hand, Dr. Shapiro's office recommended, based on the pictures, removing most of the plugs in front or thinning them out and then coming back later for more procedures to get the hairline the way I want it. Dr. Epstein said (like Wong) that he could achieve major improvement in the first session, but also said he would reduce or remove most of the plugs. I'm really looking forward to what Dr. Feller thinks. It seems that Dr. Shapiro's approach is more conservative than Dr. Wong's. I know I'd be in good hands with any of those guys, but between these four, who would you recommend? And what do you think of the three different strategies (in fairness, are just based on photos and I haven't spoken with the doctors yet) that have been proposed?
Thanks to all who reply. Bill
