What kind of paste? Dude you look like George Clooney now haha. Did you by chance take pictures month to month? It would be nice to see when you started seeing growth.

Lol Ah man! You're way too generous. I use the Aveda and/or cremo brand. They do the trick. I believe I still have various photos through the process but I wasn't super consistent. I can absolutely dig them up and post them.

Damn dude you look incredible. You’re turning to a silver fox. How does it look with product in it?

Thanks man! I use a thickening paste when I use product, parted on the side. I've definitely received compliments from Dr. Panine's work. I was one of the first to experience balding among my friends and now that some of my buddies are shedding, I may have a few referrals

Amazing results. It looks completely natural and is very refined and densely packed. I agree, @Dr. Vladimir Panineand @Stuart01are elite. Are you on any meds @JG11?

Thank you. I'm currently only taking minoxidil. I took finasteride in the past but experienced side effects. May give it another go with the new spray medication they have out. 

I've been following these threads for awhile, but this is my first time posting. 

I thought I'd take the time to share my hair transplant experience w/ Dr. Panine's office, Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic. Before I chose to go w/ Dr. Panine, I probably spent a few years researching and even debating if I should do it. I'm honestly glad I did. In fact, I met w/ several surgeons but the differentiator for me was the experience. I have to say, hands down, @Stuart01 created the most comfortable, relaxing and informative experience between all of the other offices I visited, and it wasn't even close. @Stuart01 attention to detail, responsiveness, insight and overall passion for his work throughout the entire process is second to none.

After a consultation w/ Dr. Panine, we decided to go with an FUE procedure of ~2500 grafts concentrated at the hairline. Dr. Panine worked closely with me on my hairline and my expectations while providing honest feedback about what I could expect in terms of results. 

The procedure went very well. After years of reading through various forums and websites, I can understand why they all share that Patience is Key!

It was absolutely worth the wait and I am so very happy I found Dr. Panine. He is incredibly skilled and I honestly couldn't be more thrilled with the results. It's been a year now and I feel like a new person. 

Sharing photos of my pre-op, post op and 1 year later.
