Maybe he went to where Blake Proehl got his transplant. Looks a little happier to have his picture taken now. Doesn't look like Shapiro's work to me.

2870 FUT with Dr. Ron Shapiro (SMG)
PluggedIn replied to Storytime's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I think this is actually be one of the best transplants I've ever seen. The graft count given the area covered with how dense it ended up being, with time left to go, is truly remarkable. Dealing with the presence of DHT might be wise, but you might be one of the rare people who doesn't need to. Given the results of this surgery, I think you could cover a high degree of hair loss with good density. -
No offense taken at all! I want people to be honest and I think demanding excellent results helps the field. The hair has softened since my last but it has seemed to have been taking longer than most people and there is still some time to soften up. It can take up to 24 months. As for the hairline shape it was a collaborative effort, so I personally like it but to each their own. 11 Months 18 months

3,528 Grafts Dr. Bruno Ferreira Jan 11 & 12

To me it looks perfectly fine this stage. I'd say it's on track. I wonder if there is some volunteer bias when it comes to posting transplant results. Maybe people who have better and faster growth are more likely to post warping people's perception of the growth timeline. I see no reason for concern, in fact I think it looks good so far. -
Month 13.5 Sorry for the late update, been busy (lazy) I actually think it will still improve over the next couple of months, some recently sprouted hairs are slowly getting thicker. Right now I'm satisfied with the density especially considering the high number of singles. I think I'll update again at 18 months. I remember Alan Feller saying something like "if hair transplant surgeons said the true timeline of 18 months no one would want a transplant". Anyway, it's been pretty life changing. I feel much more confident and that confidence has led to positive changes in my life that I've needed for years. Right now I'm still deciding on getting the temple points filled in. I think it would balance the contrast of my light temple hair and dark transplanted hair, improving on already great naturalness and frame the face as they say in the biz. I'll probably get a few professional opinions, and give updates but here are some before photos and the present situation. Before After Before After Before 8 months 13 months

Hair transplant surgeons hate this man for his simple trick to cure baldness -

Woah, is he putting just the strands of hair in his scalp? -

Shapiro / josephitis
PluggedIn replied to Hair4Days's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I think they did a good job in my case considering the circumstances. I don't have the thickest hair diameter and I have considerable temple loss. I like the naturalness, but they are known to be on the conservative side with hairline placement. -
Month 11 Well I'm approaching the "final" result, although I still do see some hairs sprouting this could be just hairs that have shed and are growing back. It's still a little kinkier than I would like but I've heard it could take up to 2 years for that to full subside. I'll post more of a review with my thoughts next month this is more of an update, but overall I think it's going well Before After

2756 FUE Dr. Ron Shapiro and David Josephitis (SMG)
PluggedIn replied to Style22's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
I think it looks on schedule, my biggest months seemed to be 6-8. Maybe a little more length could add more of illusion of density? -
9 months Really liking the naturalness of the hairline, probably the number one reason I chose this surgeon. A lot of surgeons create too straight hairlines in my view. It's like they draw a line and put all the frontal hair on that perfectly straight line. It turns out looking too abrupt, like a wall of hair. Mine isn't overly dense and I wasn't expecting it to be, especially with medium fine, straight, dark hair, on a pale scalp. But it’s definitely alleviated much of my concern over my hair.

Thanks for the encouragement guys! I'll do a straight on shot next update. I'm still seeing hairs pop out so I'm thinking it's going to improve beyond the 12 month mark. I'm contemplating a second surgery but I'm wondering is it "hair need" or "hair greed" I think just doing the temple points could increase naturalness by reducing the contrast between my donor hair in the hairline and the fine temple point hairs. And let's be honest it would be nice to look even better lol
