Regular Member marcushair Posted February 1, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) I've been a patient of Dr. Vladimir Panine for three years. I first meet Dr. Panine thru Dr. Christopher Gencheff (retired). My first few transplants by Dr. Gencheff were plugs (1980's) for my hairline. These were very small but well done procedures. Dr. Panine did three strip (FUT) procedures to fill in my front, middle, and back sections. Each procedure was 2000+ grafts. The results have been excellent. If you have the patience,and willingness to obey instructions. Dr. Panine, Stewart, Marda, Kinga, and Staff will provide you with the ultimate hair replacement at a very fair price. No markers, gadgets, or wasted time, just the finest tools and artistic work money can't buy. Thank you Dr. Panine, for making my head feel alive again.

Regular Member marcushair Posted February 2, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) If you think my testimonial is an advertisement-GOOD FOR YOU. All I can say, if I let a DOCTOR do surgery on my head three times, he must be very good, or I enjoy suffering. Sorry you are one of those critics.

Regular Member marcushair Posted February 3, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 3, 2012 (edited) Not mad at all. You need to know that I started with PLUGS back in 1984. I then had two more small procedures that had plugs cut up into smaller grafts (1990's). I've had three strip procedures to cover the plugs, and increase my coverage (mid thru back). Thus, I don't have visual pictures. My 30 year-six surgery experience is rare. I plan on having one last density procedure next year. If I can get a ditigal camera, I'll show a final result picture. P.S. I was asked to do this because of what I think of Dr Panine, normally I'm a very private person. Thanks for responding, and everything is fine. Have a great 2012.

Senior Member NEWHAIRPLEASE Posted February 5, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 5, 2012 Marcushair I personally have really come to like Dr Panines work...I think he has come a long way in his work and I think eventually he will find his way into the Coalition...however, coming on here and stating that you have had 3 procedures with him and you have no photos don't make a lot of sense..WE like to compare before and after photos...if you have any kind of photo that shows something before your repair journey started will go a long way...IF you just post the final result, we will have nothing to compare it too...thanks again!!

NEWHAIRPLEASE, I had my first Hair Tranplant Procedure back in 1984, when I was starting to go bald with Dr. Christopher Gencheff (retired) plugs. Next, I had two more H.T. surgeries in the early 1990's (plugs-cut up into smaller f.u.). I met Dr. Panine thru Dr. Gencheff. Dr. Panine did 1st my mid, 2nd my back, and finally the front, to cover up the original style plugs. I'm sorry that I don't have photos. but my H.T. journey was very different (almost 30 years). Trust me, I have no regrets choosing Dr. Panine. Have a Great Day. Edited April 4, 2012 by marcushair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member marcushair Posted February 10, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Everyone enjoys a good pun, but yea a photo says it all. 1980's HT's usually are frightful. You can always block out your face. Thanks for the comment. You are totally right about being frighten. I was 23 years old and my hair line was receding. Dr. Gencheff was just beginning plug H.T. I asked him to fill in my front behind the current hairline at the time. It was one of the best choices I've made in my entire life. Over time I have lost all my top hair. Thus, my first procedure became my frontal hair line. This receded hair line has allowed Dr. Panine to totally fill in my front, middle, and back. The last procedure was mostly focused on filling in my plug area up front. I truly believe my 1st procedure to fill in and create my future hairline (which at the time I didn't plan) was a key component to how good my hair transplants make me look today. Hope this HELPS you agree, Dr. Panine is a Great AESTHETIC Hair Transplant Physician. Edited February 11, 2012 by marcushair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Stuart01 Posted February 11, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted February 11, 2012 Marcushair is a present patient of Dr. Panine's. He had 3 procedures done many years ago by Dr. Gencheff. It so happens that back in the 80's and 90's the techniques were much different than today. Dr. Gencheff has since retired from doing procedures and had refered Marcushair to Dr. Panine for follow up procedures. Marcushair has given me permission to post some of his pictures on here. Everyone needs to keep in mind that his donor area was only marginal due to see previous procedures. Dr. Panine took a conservative approach when doing Marcushair's procedures not wanting to scar up his donor area so he only wanted to do approximately 2000 per session. On his first session Dr. Panine consentrated on fixing the hairline and thickening his mid area. On his second procedure he consentrated on the crown. I happened to have some old pictures of his plugs and crown area from 1992 and 2001 from Dr. Gencheff's chart. I had to scan the pictures so please forgive me on the clarity of the photos. I have also posted Marcushair's results after 2 sessions with Dr. Panine. We recently did a 3rd session on him of 2000 more grafts that were distributed form the front to the crown for more density. I am employed as the patient coordinator and office manager for Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic. Feel free to ask me any questions. Dr. Panine is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians I am not a medical professional and my opinions should not be interperted as medical advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Guys, Let's not have a mud slinging match on various topics. The other topic I'm referring to is "A Word on Dr. Konior". Dr. Konior and Dr. Panine are both excellent physicians and both deserve the kudos they receive on a regular basis for producing and presenting steller results. Coalition member Dr. Konior has been impressing the community for years with his world renowned results. Dr. Panine is newer to the Hair Transplant Network however, he's developed quite a few fans based on presenting quality follicular unit hair transplant results. Let's keep it friendly and give credit where credit is due - regardless of which physician you like the most. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member marcushair Posted March 2, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 2, 2012 (edited) It's been over five weeks now, and my transplanted hair has NOT falling out. I don't know how he does it, but this is the third time this has happened to me. Dr. Panine is batting 1000, when it comes to my transplanted hair not falling out. He's truly first class on my head. Thanks again-marcushair. Edited March 2, 2012 by marcushair wording Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member marcushair Posted March 3, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) Just returned from the Hair Salon, and the stylist couldn't believe all the new hairs that I have growing. She also was very impressed how my donor area is healing after just five weeks surgery. She styled my hair as if I hadn't had any H. T. surgery. I can hardly wait for all these FUE's to completely grow in. Thanks again Dr. Panine, you're the real deal H. T. surgeon.
