Senior Member Janna Posted September 1, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted September 1, 2009 Here is work by Dr. Ron Shapiro on a local patient who has ideal hair characteristics with very good donor density and laxity. I think we can all agree his degree of loss is minimal compared to many out there. He is in his mid 40's and wanted his hairline and temples addressed. He states he will make regular visits to SMG to take progress pictures. 2176 Grafts - 4178 Hairs - with Dr. Ron Shapiro Here are his pre-op - 1 Day Post Op after shampoo - 10 Days Post after suture removal and hair cut - Patient Care Services & UK Patient Advisor for Shapiro Medical Dr. Ron Shapiro, Dr. Paul Shapiro and Dr. David Josephitis are members of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. http://shapiromedical.com/info@shapiromedical.com http://shapiromedical.com/contact/request-a-consultation/janna@shapiromedical.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member bullitnut Posted September 1, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted September 1, 2009 hi janna looks absolutely fantastic as usual, just a quick question if you dont mind re temples-- ive seen lots of temple work on the forums over the years from many different clinics, a lot of them are good but a lot are not so good and look odd in colour and stand out a mile. So i was wandering is there a specific area in the donor site hair should be extracted that are closer to the original temple hair colour and calibur just curious is he on meds to help prevent/slow future loss regards bullit 2 poor very poor UK ht's 2 world class repairs with Shapiro Medical Group original thread http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.co...d.php?t=134995 Dr Paul's procedure http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1710 Dr Ron's procedure http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1128 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Rachmunas4life Posted September 1, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted September 1, 2009 I'm wondering if Dr. Shapiro prefers the patient shaves down in these hairline procedures or can go with that hair length? Looks great by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Severn Posted September 1, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted September 1, 2009 I love the 10 day closeup. It looks like there is no redness or skin irritation at all. And completely natural of course. My Hair Loss Web Site - Dr. Ron Shapiro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great by the way! I don't think he put any in the central core "tuft" area. Hence no need to shave it. Correct me if I'm wrong Janna.

Senior Member Rachmunas4life Posted September 1, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted September 1, 2009 Yeah that's what I was thinking... It's unlike me who has miniturization so I'd probably be better off shaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Janna Posted September 2, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 2, 2009 The area below the blue drawn in line is where the work was done, so a small portion of the recipient area is within the frontal tuft. If the tuft isn't addressed at this point, the density would not be even with the transplanted areas. Since we worked on such a small area with hair, we were able to work with the native hairs long. It is easier to work in the recipient area when the hairs are shaved, no doubt about it. But we'll work with longer hairs. BN, Within the donor strip that is harvested, there are varying degees of fine and strong caliber hairs. We separate the finer singles from the stronger ones to be planted at the "points" of the hairlines and front edges of temple points. Yes, he is on Propecia. Thanks for asking.

HAIRLAD Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Hi Janna, I was wondering how many grafts were planted on each side for the temple points and at what density per sqcm. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Janna Posted September 3, 2009 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 3, 2009 When this patient came in for his next day hairwash he also inquired about the number of grafts into the temple points. Dr. Shapiro's reply was - he needed a little bit more on the right side so approx. 200 incisions on right and 150 on the other. Severn - I think you are spot on with your guess. That's what we'd estimate too.
