Regular Member Pcrudance2006 Posted August 22, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hi all, after consulting with several clinics and receiving some great advice on the forums I have decided to have FUE with Dr Josephitis from Shapiro Medical Group. I'm booked in for the end of September. I'm hoping for 15-1700 grafts which will be used to cover the thinning area from back of my hairline to my crown. Hopefully this should provide good coverage leaving plenty of donor grafts in reserve if I need more further down the line. I'm excited at the prospect of having my hair restored. I've decided on Dr Josephitis after speaking with Janna several times. I received examples of his work for FUE and strip, it seems that Dr Josephitis and Janna work side by side with the extractions. I've also spoken to couple of their patients. I am nervous but I know I will be in great hands. The Shapiro name is synonymous with natural and quality work. I've recently started on Propecia and will wait until after surgery to start on Rogaine. The meds were an issue I had but after reading more information I realized it's only a small percentage who experience sides, therefor I made the decision to try them out, so far it's going good. I plan on keeping a thorough documentation of the surgery and my progress. Once again thanks for all the great advice posted here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Josephitis has been with SMG for quite some time now, I spoke to some former patients who all expressed how happy they were with his work, this reassured me in my choice. Thanks for the good luck, I'll certainly keep everyone posted on my progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Pcrudance2006 Posted September 9, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 9, 2014 Thank you Blake and David, I'll document my procedure from start to finish. I'm super excited, wish I was having it done sooner but there was a waiting list, I was lucky to get the date I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
