Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 8, 2021 Administrators Share Posted January 8, 2021 @HairNTear You can’t go wrong with either, Cooley and Shapiro are both excellent choices. I recall a somewhat recent repair of @HTREGRETS check it out. Shapiro has been at the top for decades. Not only is he skilled, but his ethics have go above and beyond for his patients. Consult with both, talk to them via zoom, you’ll know who to choose after. best wishes, 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Speaking with SMG next week. Just by way of update, I am booked in to have my procedure with Dr Cooley this summer. I cannot wait to have this hairline repair completed, as it feels like people are constantly staring at my head thinking somethings not quite right there lol Anyway the plan is to draw a new higher hairline, extract the worse mulit grafts in terms of angle etc, then refine them under microscope and replace further back in hairline. Then use some more grafts from the donor area which will likely include some nape hair to soften it up. This will be my third surgery so praying that this time it will be a success, third times the charm and all that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HairNTear Posted April 22, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 22, 2021 Guys so I had my surgery with Dr Cooley and it was the best experience I could have hoped for, far beyond my already high expectations. Dr Cooley and his team are truly passionate and care about what they are doing. The main reason for choosing Dr Cooley was that I wanted a doctor involved in all parts of the procedure and he definitely was, literally everything including detailed consultation on hairline, shampooing, cutting my hair, graft removal, electrolysis, incisions and graft placement. It is all such a well oiled machine and everyone in the team is an expert in what they are doing and on the same wavelength. Graft count is as follows: Single: 453 Double: 717 Triple: 18 Total Grafts: 1188 A Cell was injected into both my donor and recipient area 30 approx grafts were destroyed by electrolysis as they would have been transacted and the rest of the grafts on the forehead were removed via FUE and recycled in to the hairline. The team are going to send me some photos but in the meantime here are some that I’ve taken below: (Please note this repair surgery was just 24 hours ago and I have zero pain or taking pain killers, just some slight swelling) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
