smurf Posted November 11, 2020 Share Posted November 11, 2020 Like this post says, I am a NW 2-3 and looking at a couple of options for HT. Since I live in chicagoland I have been talking to Dr. Konior and Dr. Nadami and they are priced on the high end. Other options are Turkey and Korea but I am less excited at the propsect of 14 day quarintine and the risk of surgery and recovery out of the country. Any advice from you all?

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted November 11, 2020 Check out Dr. Panine in Chicago, he's definitely worth consulting. You can also check out Dr. Cooley in North Carolina, he's just a short plane trip. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted November 11, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 11, 2020 If you're in Chicago then it's a no-brainer, go to Dr. Konior. You won't regret it. 2 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 My Hair Transplant Journey with Shapiro Medical Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smurf Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Here are some photos of my hairline. my goal is to make the hairline symetrical. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted November 30, 2020 Valued Contributor Share Posted November 30, 2020 I understand that you may want any receding filled in. But the last thing you want is a symmetrical hairline. Your hairline now looks 'natural.' That's because it is broken up and uneven as you see in nature. Keep researching and all the best.

Senior Member Style22 Posted November 30, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted November 30, 2020 Man I’ll tell you. I was in your exact shoes in my twenties and early thirties. Thankfully I didn’t get a transplant because at 36 my hair loss rapidly progressed to now a diffuse NW 6. No idea what your age is but I assume your young. Just keep it in mind! Your hair looks good now. Good luck researching! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your hair looks good now. Good luck researching! good to know! i am 33 . I think I prevented a lot of hairloss as I have been on finasteride for 6 years now my current hair regime is: -daily laser cap -1/2 tablet finasteride -minoxidol -microneedling the hairline twice a week -ForHims hairloss shampoo and conditioner. I think it has Saw pametto -Twice a week nizoral may add topical finasteride as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 1, 2020 Administrators Share Posted December 1, 2020 I would suggest reaching out to happy and unhappy patients, here a general consensus. Remember, not all surgeries are perfect, being fully informed increased the probability you’ll be happy with the results. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated Given my hairline, i'll research more on custom hairlines that look natural as opposed to the hairline more suited for a 15 year old.. Also what are your thoughts on this hairline: Is it a good idea to be very very conservative with the hairline approach and try to tell the doctor directly?

smurf Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 So I received a follow up from H&W and they recommend 3000-3500 FUE grafts. Now I am really confused. Konior and Nadimi both authorized 1600 grafts in the frontal area with a dense pack. H&W are recommending double. Two different answers from two top tier clinics. really really confused.

Keep researching and all the best. yea, everybody should have a hairline that fits them. For me I should stick to a conservative hairline to commit for the long haul. I disagree with a 18 year old hairline when i am 33 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
