Impact

Ok cool . For some reason I thought Dr Panine used the neo . You’re at your one year mark right ? Can you post a pic of what your procedure looks like now . Are you happy with the results? I’m basically following in your footsteps . You know more about this than me . I’m a beginner. I want to feel confident going into this second procedure. Thanks joe

Doesn’t Dr Panine use neograft ?

From the research I have done the neograft is way better. I agree with you . The robot seemed invasive . Would never go through that again .

I don’t see any scaring or buckshot on my head from the artist robot . I read that you can have micro pigmentation on the scars and if your hair is thin . It makes it less noticeable.

I read that the artist robot uses a smaller punch than the hand held neograft. They are very close in size . The infection healed on its own. It wasn’t super bad. The top he used a bigger knife and put two follicles in one incision . I took a picture of the top and went to office max . Had it printed out and used a marker to count the scabs. I marked them so I didn’t count them twice . The reason I did this is because it didn’t look like 1100 . I counted 600 aprox . When I questioned the tech at around the 6 month post opp mark she said that’s because they put two grafts in one incision. It was a terrible short cut because I was a super session and they could get more in my head at a shorter time. I did read that this is a technique. Maybe from the past . I think it can give u the doll head look. I was there for 13 hrs . My crown has small uneven bumps and scar tissue . It’s not super bad but I would have rather not had them do it that way . That way is not the gold standard of today . It’s really not micro grafting like drs do now . I’m gonna have the crown redone a few months after I have the front fixed . From my experience with holt I’m only doing one area at a time . The crown takes a few more months the be at 100 percent from what I read. Im gonna make an apt with Dr Panine for the Front around the end of March then have him do the crown end of June or something like that . I will have him evaluate both when I have my consult in February. I’m not giving up. 😁

The neograft has a bigger tip on it than the artist robot too and it still doesn’t look like buck shot . I’m surprised he doesn’t push the robot . It is 6.50 a graft . I paid him a lot of money . I had an infection on my left side and when I went back for 6 month post opp I noticed the tech that installs graft was typing on the computer with bloody surgical gloves . She went back to install grafts and I bet 100 dollars she didn’t put new gloves on . She kept leaving the room while working on me and never put new gloves on . The side she worked on had the infection . Very unprofessional.

I did search him after the procedure and felt sick after reading about him. That’s how I found your post on here. Thanks for telling your story . It helped me . Im gonna accept that I choose the wrong company and move forward. Dr office it my next move .

I had 2200 grafts 1100 on crown and 1100 in front first 2 pics are before and the second two pics are about 8 months post opp . Ended up with hair but it’s patchy even at 10 months post opp . My hairline is way off and uneven . Definitely need it fixed . I read your post and dr holt said he could only do 1400 but he did 2200 on my procedure so they were rushing to get them all in . The short cut they take is he puts larger incisions for crown and puts double grafts. I would rather have not had that done. My crown feels like there is some scaring . Live and learn . The only reason I went to him and trusted he was good is because number one he’s the only guy in town and has been in business for a while My surgeon referred me to him. I don’t think my plastic surgeon knew he wasn’t the best at it . I think he just knew he was the only guy in town and heard of him . I wish I would have known about this site . Very informative. I’ve learned a lot and now moving forward will make better decisions. I’m not giving up . I’m gonna meet with Dr Pinine in February . To talk about the front and 3 months later go back for my crown . I’m not gonna do both at the same time . I want to focus on one area at a time. I also asked holt for my pics he took before and they didn’t respond . When he showed me them at 6 months my head looked way worse then pics I took . Wondered if he photoshopped them to make them look worse so it makes him look like a miracle worker . Lol

If u want to text me my number is +16167351115. It would be easier to compare notes

He used the artist robot . I wasn’t gonna do it if he was going to cut a strip . He never said anything about it looking like buck shot . He is totally unethical. He also gets u high on drugs so you don’t remember anything. He gave me two pills before he started and i was looped
