vikingsfan914 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I am a 31 year old male with thin blonde hair. I am a Norwood 4-5. I am currently looking for a hair transplant. I am not concerned with cost and would like to get the best possible hair transplant for me. I have already met with Shapiro Medical group in MN but want to know of other doctors who would be good for my hair style. I have attached photos for reference. Any insight you can offer is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess they recommended 2 x FUT, 12-18 months apart as the solution. But no harm looking around. J Cooley another great Doctor and B Bloxham, S Gabel etc. 4,312 FUT grafts (7,676 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2013 1,145 FUE grafts (3,152 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - August 2018 763 FUE grafts (2,094 hairs) with Ray Konior, MD - January 2020 Proscar 1.25mg every 3rd day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 1, 2019 Administrators Share Posted November 1, 2019 You've been given great names. I would take a look at Hasson and Wong, Dr. Gabel, Dr. Diep, Dr. Mohebi. That said, Dr. Shapiro is an excellent choice. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Valued Contributor Steeeve Posted November 2, 2019 Valued Contributor Share Posted November 2, 2019 I second Dr Arocha in Texas as I’ve had work done with him and I’m thrilled with his work so far. I also agree with every single doctor’s name you’ve been given and I would add Raymond Konior, in Chicago, to that list. Good luck 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingsfan914 Posted November 4, 2019 Author Share Posted November 4, 2019 Thanks everyone for your feedback here. A quick question. What would be the advantage of going with one of the other doctors listed as opposed to Shapiro Medical Group? Are any of these other doctors listed significantly better than the doctors at Shapior medical group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should consult with as many surgeons, because you may like other aspects, for example hairline design, distance, and bedside manner. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Regular Member pre-screened Posted November 4, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted November 4, 2019 Dr.Hasson, Dr.Carlos Wesley & Dr.Konior - the current three posting the best "homerun" results in North America from what I can see of recent clinic and patient own postings. Dr.Rahal was in the mix previously for FUT but something seems slightly amiss about the feedback from Rahal recently. For large strip mega-sessions of 5,000 grafts or more like you'd need - I think Dr.Hasson seems to be a leader in this space in both grabbing as much hair in one session as possible and leaving a great scar. In Europe Hattigen Hair seem to be doing very big FUT cases too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a lot of time researching both European, Indian and American surgeons. I also did a big job in understanding the FUT vs FUE. I decided FUT as it is more efficient and you get better extraction results. Superior actually and you can get a lot more out of it. 2xFUT and then another 2xFUE if you need. If you go the other way around it is 2xFUE ONLY... And FUT extracts massive amounts compared to FUE in comparison. I have ca 11000 grafts extracted and I have heard people doing up to 16000 in extreme cases. Then I went through all the experts and I found Ron Shapiro as the superior of them all. He did research and star doing the "modern" FUT long before everyone else. His results were also far better with regards to shock , depth vs height. He has less complaints than most others do have. Then I took off in December 2011 and there was a whole team working with me from the morning till the late evening (I flew all the way from Europe). The results was amazing and still 9 years after I have no bad shocks or losing hair from it. I need to complement because of aging but what Ron Shapiro did is superior. I have seen others also and nothing beats Ron Shapiro. Highly recommended and noone of the American, Indian nor Europeans beat him. 6 stars out of 5!!

If you are comfortable with them - go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be awesome to see your before, one year after and current 9 year after results. It’s rare to find long terms results here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
