I'm 16 hours removed from surgery with Dr. Ron Shapiro. Apologies in advance if this is scattered, the drugs are still treating me nicely Posted 2 pictures. Please be gentle, as I'm still beat up and my head looks kind of messy. I'm feeling surprisingly well. I woke up this more with some tenderness but no legitimate pain and no bleeding. Of course, this could change. I'll plan to share progress and pictures regularly for anyone that's interested. 9/28: Pre Op Consult: Traveled from New York to Minneapolis on Monday and went directly to Dr. Ron's office for a consultatio -
Hi All, I first need to thank this forum and the members. I cannot overstate the impact of this forum throughout my journey. After thoroughly researching this forum and having several phone consultations, I figured out that Shapiro medical group is the right option for me. Given the extensiveness of the surgery I needed (photos are attached), I decided to go with Dr. Shapiro. My surgery was on June 19th (three days ago), and currently I am super pleased with the experience. The surgery itself went very smoothly and I didn't feel even a little pain (that could be because Dr. Paul has an exper -

If you really can't decide between them, then just have Dr. Ron do round 1 and Dr. K do round 2... or vice versa! 🤓 -

Shapiro or Konior
Melvin-Moderator replied to Eitan sandler's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
Dr. Ron Shapiro is one of the forefathers of this site, he was the founders surgeon. Dr. Konior has evolved into one of the industries most respected surgeons. They are both excellent choices, my suggestion is to consult with both and talk to past patients. -
Shapiro or Konior
BadBeat replied to Eitan sandler's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
I've had 2 FUE's with Dr. Ron Shapiro. I'm not big on posting pics so you won't be able to see, but I can assure you these 2 procedures for me were completely life changing. He is a master at creating natural hairlines. I've never once had anybody ask me if I've done anything. -
So after lurking around this forum for a while I had decided to dive in head first (pun intended) and go ahead with the transplant. If you'd like to ask me any specific questions I'd be happy to answer. I'll just say that the HT itself was relatively painless and aside from some acceptable uncomfortableness and tenderness in the first 3 weeks the entire process was relatively as smooth as one would expect. I've been taking Finasteride for 2 and half months prior to surgery and I'm using Minoxidil once daily starting 2 weeks after surgery, per Shapiro's instructions. I was a NW 3/4 wi -
What protein powder do you use?
ADuckwithNoHair replied to Nounours's topic in Physical Fitness Issues
You may want to avoid creatine as it's been linked to an increase in DHT. Also, according to Dr. Larry Shapiro and Dr. Cooley, whey protein concentrate is better for hair than isolate (link to small sample study). I have no experience with either of these though. -
The top two midwest surgeons happen to be among the top surgeons in the world. Dr. Ron Shapiro and Dr. Raymond Konior.

Hello everyone! I have scheduled an FUT with H&W, but curious what the forums think of Dr. Shapiro? I am not seeing any recent results on these forums and I curious about his work. Can anyone recommend Shapiro? Does he do good work? Thoughts/comments/concerns?

Shapiro Recommendation?
hybonix replied to hybonix's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
Thank you for all the help. H&W is my first choice, but I believe the Canadian border won’t open back up until Spring of 2021 at this point. American cases need to dramatically decline for Canada to even consider Re-opening. So, I will opt for Dr. Ron Shapiro. Cooley and Gabel were on my list as well, but Shapiro is legendary on these forums and has many many years of experience, so I feel comfortable going to him now. I also like his work, but I’ll start a new thread once I make the final choice. I cannot wait until I share my results as they are going to be dramatic. -

Dr Diep FUT Is it Worth it?
ruca2 replied to hybonix's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
@hybonix I think you have made a well informed decision. This is a change that will alter your appearance for the rest of your life. If you can get it right the first time, that is an exceptional feat in this industry. You've come to the right place and are doing your research. That is commendable in my opinion. Dr. Diep is a lightening rod on this forum and for good reason. His older results dating back 3 or more years seem to be more desirable. He wasn't implanting in such defined rows back then. There was still a pattern but his density could usually disguise it well enough. I would definit -
Dr Diep FUT Is it Worth it?
hybonix replied to hybonix's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
One last question, but I am curious what the forums think of Dr. Ron Shapiro of Shapiro Medical Group? He has availability sooner than H&W and was curious if Dr. Ron Shapiro is a good alternative or better than H&W. I am not seeing any recent results on these forums and I curious about his work in general. Can anyone recommend Shapiro? Does he do good work? Thoughts/comments/concerns? -

Yes, that is the one! He has availability sooner than H&W and was curious if Dr. Ron Shapiro is a good alternative or better than H&W. I appreciate your feedback. -
Shapiro Recommendation?
aaron1234 replied to hybonix's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
You are referencing Dr. Ron Shapiro, founder of Shapiro Medical Group in Minneapolis, correct? A pioneer, one of the best in the biz. -
I had Dr. Paul Shapiro perform a scar revision after my 3rd transplant. It turned out very well - not pencil thin but more like sharpie thin.

Hair transpants in New York
Portugal25 replied to Huw's topic in Hair Transplant Experiences and Surgeon Reviews
@Huw in 2008 when I was chosing a doctors I had it narrowed down to Dr. Rahal or Dr. Feller and at that time the elite was these two plus Shapiro and H&W. Today I see that Dr. Feller and Dr. Bloxham are still the best choice in NY but prices changed dramaticly as I paid around 2US/graft in 2008 for my FUT with Rahal and I see that Dr. Bloxham charges 10US/graft for FUE. If you are set in the US and can afford this then Bloxham is the way to go but if you can catch a direct 6h flight to Porto then I advise you to look up Dr. Bruno Ferreira because he`s getting truly amazing resul -
Hi all, I've been lurking the forums for a while but felt the need to make an account because I could not find the answers to my questions alone. While parsing some of the threads from this website, along with other resources online, and while I have found a general consensus for what the general approach is to maximize your available donor hairs, which is of course a concern for those of us headed, or already at, a high Norwood level, I still had some questions unresolved. The consensus that I've gathered is: Maximize as much as you can from FUT, and once that is done, fill in the r -
Studies on finasteride dosage
ciaus replied to Moses121's topic in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers
yea 1mg is what they found would still give the hair retention benefits, so they got a drug patent to sell you less of the same drug for more, calling it propecia instead of proscar. https://www.keeps.com/learn/finasteride-1mg-vs-finasteride-5mg “There are dose-ranging clinical studies that show finasteride 1mg is just as good as finasteride 5mg,” explains Dr. Jerry Shapiro, one of the Keeps medical advisors. “So there’s no reason to prescribe a higher dosage.” In other words, finasteride 1mg is wholly sufficient. Finasteride 5mg will not help you treat male pattern hair loss a -
Hasson and Wong, Dr. Ron Shapiro, Dr. Gabel, Dr. Cooley, Dr. Konior, Dr. Charles. My doctor was Dr. Diep, he also performs strip. Take a look at our photo gallery, there are plenty of female patients, and if you see some results that impress you, feel free to click on the doctors profile and submit a free online consultation. https://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/Share-info/hairloss-photos-female.asp

Why doesn't he get more love on these forums? I haven't seen any major issues brought up, but he is never put in amongst North America's elites like Dr. Konior, Shapiro, Rahal, Hasson , Cooley. Etc.

Dr. Vories does get mentioned, but as other have mentioned, Shapiro, Konior, Hasson and Wong, these surgeons were pioneers. There’s no knock on Dr. Vories.

The Donor Management Argument for FUT vs FUE
HTHope replied to asterix0's topic in Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE)
What youre asking for is very difficult to obtain. I believe theres an FUE study showing the difference in transection of sharp vs dull punches by Dr. Shapiro tited "A Side-by-Side Study of 20 Consecutive FUE Patients Comparing the Use of a 0.9mm Sharp vs. 0.9mm Blunt Punch." The yields are vastly different. There are many many different variables for FUE hair transplantation and we dont know which (if any) are confounding variables. Punch type (Sharp, serrated, trumpet, etc), manual or motorized, punch system (oscillating, one direction, ultrasonic, etc), motorized punches have all kinds
