Regular Member nafta Posted March 25, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted March 25, 2017 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.

Senior Member home1212 Posted March 25, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 25, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hsrp10 Posted March 26, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2017 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. go dense or go home Unbiased advice and opinions based on 25 plus years of researching and actual experience with hair loss, hair restoration via both FUT & FUE, SMP, scalp issues including scalp eczema & seborrheic dermatitis and many others HSRP10's favorite FUT surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr Hasson, Dr. Rahal HSRP10's favorite FUE surgeons: *Dr. Konior, *Dr. Bisanga, Dr. Erdogan, Dr. Couto (*indicates actual experience with doctor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member KO Posted March 26, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2017 Why can't you shave recipient? 3382 FUE Lupanzula http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185463-3382-grafts-lupanzula.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member nafta Posted March 26, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 26, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted March 26, 2017 Moderators Share Posted March 26, 2017 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. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Dr. Rahal Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 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. --Tara Rahal Hair Transplant Clinic - Answers to questions and posts using this account are strictly opinions and not to be considered medical advice.

Senior Member MrGio-WHTCClinic Posted April 7, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted April 7, 2017 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. My opinions are my own.
