Regular Member consideringht Posted December 31, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi everyone. Been on this site for a while just joined. Looking into taking the plunge. My current situation is on the profile picture. Not taking any meds - nor do I suffer from loss at back of head (im my late 30's). How many grafts and what should I expect for center - frontal restoration? These are the 3 doc's I narrowed it down to: Dorin (NYC), Arocha (TX), And Limmer(TX) --- is it ok to mention the names?? Any feed back would be greatly appriciated - as each Doctor seems to be doing a good job. Thanks or your help and feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted December 31, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 31, 2012 It's ok to mention their names. Have you set up consultations with these doctors? Have you met any of their patients in person? Hard to say how many grafts you need. It doesn't appear that your loss is overly aggressive. In my opinion, you should consider finasteride first. Dr. G: 1,000 grafts (FUT) 2008 Dr. Paul Shapiro: 2,348 grafts (FUT) 2009 ~ 1,999 grafts (FUT) 2011 ~ 300 grafts (Scar Reduction) 2013 Dr. Konior: 771 grafts (FUT) 2015 ~ 558 grafts (FUT) 2017 ~ 1,124 grafts (FUE) 2020 My Hair Transplant Journey with Shapiro Medical Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MrJobi Posted January 1, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted January 1, 2013 Hi I'm with Aaron First of all , how old are you ? I would certainly (and did myself) consider meds first to stabilize your hairloss while you seek options as you are doing. I went to True ( or True and Dorin) and had an excellent experience as I am one of the few on here who have used the same doc for 4 different procedures. That said, you mentioned some great docs and it is important that YOU are comfortable with the doc . Good luck! JOBI 1417 FUT - Dr. True 1476 FUT - Dr. True 2124 FUT - Dr. True 604 FUE - Dr. True My views are based on my personal experiences, research and objective observations. I am not a doctor. Total - 5621 FU's uncut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
