Dr. Paul Shapiro-6&12Months Result-2055grafts/3719hairs

Dr. Paul Shapiro – 2055/3719 Result at 6 months and 12 months.

Here is a presentation of Dr. Paul Shapiro's work immediately following surgery to 6 months and 12 months PO.

This patient had very good growth at 6 months. He experienced faster than average growth, therefore, had approximately 75% growth by 6 months. There were improvements from 6 months to 12 months that were subtle. Few of the wiry hairs on the sides tamed down and he experienced some thickening throughout.

Here is a breakdown of his grafts:

2055 total grafts = 3719 hairs

1’s – 696

2’s – 1054

3’s - 304

2055 total grafts = 3719 hairs

1’s – 696

2’s – 1054

3’s - 304

Janna,

 

Thanks for sharing this patient's results. He certainly did have exceptional growth at 6 months. Lucky guy!

 

The hairline looks very soft and natural. Great work by Dr. Shapiro!

[JoeKid0000]

Great results! I'm sure he's happy!

Great case. Janna, is there a reason this is a no shave case?

Such great documentation. I especially love the 6th and 12th month comparison photos - clearly shows the maturation of the hair. Dr. Paul does it again.

This is a great result.....amazing hairline. I also like the 6 and 12 month comparison. It really demonstrates how much the HT matures in the second half of the year even with an early grower like this patiient.

Great result!!! I love the way SMG presents it cases on this board!! Very nice!!

I looked at this and noticed the non shaven head and was interested in it. Just looking at some older cases.

Janna-

 

Even the six month result looks great!

Amasing how much better 2000 grafts up front can make. Once again brilliant stuff from SMG, this looks great now and should age well with the patient whilst also leaving the option open for refinement down the line.

[Janna]

Great case. Janna, is there a reason this is a no shave case?

 

Majority of patients would rather not shave if possible. His case size is at the upper limits for us to not shave. The work takes longer but it's do-able. We'd prefer to shave but some patients have work commitments that does not allow for a shaved look.

 

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Janna Im very interested in that you say it was at the upper limits of a shaving threshold. I was recently quoted around 1800 grafts FUE and was informed that shaving was essential. Im sure it differs from clinic to clinic but I had thought id seen it was some kind of consensus that surgeons dont like to do much more than 500 without shaving?

 

Im very envious of anyone who doesnt have to shave!!

[Janna]

We try to stay within 2000 grafts or less for not shaving. We routinely did not shave at all until around 5 years ago when "mega" sessions came into play. I know some clinics shave no matter how small or big the surgery. We have a lot of experience with non-shaved recipient areas to feel comfortable performing on them.

[ManinSpace]

Well that is certainly very interesting, and I am even more jealous now!. You obviously dont feel it inhibits the quality of the work and it looks great in this case. Amasing to me how different surgeries can have such different outlook on this, as shaving the head is a serious inconvenience, especially if like me you frequently have to address large audiences.

 

I wish I could afford the extra that it costs to go to America as I would be straight over to you!

 

Dont fancy doing me a deal and making me your 'UK representative do you'

 

Haha anyway, keep up the good work, SMG are my personal favourite clinic worldwide.

Very nice result. Great comparisons.
