Shapiro or Konior


Recommended Posts

I was supposed to have a procedure at H&W but it didnt happen because of the coronavirus.
I want to have it as soon as possible because I wont be able to have one until next year (work obligations).
So now im thinking of booking a procedure with Shapiro or Konior.
The "downside" of Konior for me is that I cant see any review on him except this forum, so I wonder why?
And the "downside" of Shapiro is that I cant find any recent results of FUE from him and I dont know much about him (my own dermatologist said he's one of best in the world).
I would like to hear your opinions, thank you!

Two of the best in the biz.  Can't go wrong with either one. 

Dr. G: 1,000 grafts (FUT) 2008

Dr. Paul Shapiro: 2,348 grafts (FUT) 2009 ~ 1,999 grafts (FUT) 2011 ~ 300 grafts (Scar Reduction) 2013

Dr. Konior: 771 grafts (FUT) 2015 ~ 558 grafts (FUT) 2017 ~ 1,124 grafts (FUE) 2020

I've had 2 FUE's with Dr. Ron Shapiro. I'm not big on posting pics so you won't be able to see, but I can assure you these 2 procedures for me were completely life changing. He is a master at creating natural hairlines. I've never once had anybody ask me if I've done anything.

Two hall of famers.

Most people don't post their results.  You're lucky if 6 a year do which is probably no more than 2% per annum.  You may find more Shapiro results on Hair loss Experiences.

I think Dr Josephitis does all the FUE extractions for Ron and Paul, but the latter do the designs, incisions, and maybe the critical placement in the front hairline...unless things have changed since I last looked.  I'm sure Dr J also does his own patients.

Dr. Ron Shapiro is one of the forefathers of this site, he was the founders surgeon. Dr. Konior has evolved into one of the industries most respected surgeons. They are both excellent choices, my suggestion is to consult with both and talk to past patients.

If you really can't decide between them, then just have Dr. Ron do round 1 and Dr. K do round 2... or vice versa! 🤓

I just started to read about these two.  How would one even decide which one to go with?  Seems Shapiro maybe better choice ?

Best way is to consult with both, there elite surgeons, it’s bit like deciding between a Benz and a BMW, you don’t know till the test drive.
