Best 'No Recipient Shave' Surgeons

[nafta]

Hi All,

 

I know it's not as common to not shave the recipient sites - but for some of us 'concealers' it's necessary. Does anyone know

 

a) Which doctors require shaving the recipient site

b) Of those, which are best?

 

For example, I know the following are willing to go the 'no shave' route:

 

Dr LupanZula

Dr Saifi

Dr Konior

 

How about Bisanga, Fierduini, Lorezo, Others?

I had a "no-shave" FUE with Dr. Jim Harris in Colorado. Great Dr. and staff.

The donor site was "no shave". The recipient site, the crown, was already bare.

You'd have to contact him directly to see if he requires shaving of the recipient site if there is already some hair there.

Hope that helps.

To have the best result possible, shaving the recipient area is the best way to go, whether for the doctor and techs, and also for your own end result. At the end of the day, I bit the bullet and laid low for a couple of weeks through vacation time and requests to work from home. And I went with Dr. Rahal who does not do no shave procedures. My priority was having the best doctor perform my procedure, not finding a doctor who does no shaves. I'd reconsider your position.

Bisanga likes to shave the immediate recipient area but does agree to partial shaving.

Dr. Maras in Cyprus does partial shaving as well.

 

You already mentioned Dr. Konior who is my favorite doc for transplanting into existing hair (stick and place technique).

I also agree with home1212, shaving is best for achieving optimal results especially in cases where techs will be involved.

Why can't you shave recipient?

Why can't you shave recipient?

 

I've long hair, which hides my frontal zone (not too dissimilar to my avatar!) - if I cut it short pre-op, people would know I've had work done as my frontal zone is not very dense - and to date no one knows I've had this done. If I shaved Id have to take months off to let everything re-grow, which I can't do - I can probably get a max of a week off.

 

Previously I had a HT on a Friday and was back to work on the Monday, and no one knew I had it at all.

True and Dorin perform hair transplants without shaving the recipient area. I was back to work in about a week and nobody knew I had anything done.

Wesley apparently doesn't require patients to shave.

Ufue and non-shaven FUE results come from Belgium.

[Dr. Rahal]

Shaving, like many other parts of the procedure comes down to Physician preference & their own experience with their patients.

 

As home1212 mentioned, we always require the recipient area to be shaved for the procedure. This is how we deliver the best results for patients.

If shaving is best why do so many top docs not require it?

 

Experience and innovative protocols with skillset are the cases with Dr. Patrick Mwamba's medical staff. Many top docs offer the option on a daily basis.
