JG11 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I've been following these threads for awhile, but this is my first time posting. I thought I'd take the time to share my hair transplant experience w/ Dr. Panine's office, Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic. Before I chose to go w/ Dr. Panine, I probably spent a few years researching and even debating if I should do it. I'm honestly glad I did. In fact, I met w/ several surgeons but the differentiator for me was the experience. I have to say, hands down, @Stuart01 created the most comfortable, relaxing and informative experience between all of the other offices I visited, and it wasn't even close. @Stuart01 attention to detail, responsiveness, insight and overall passion for his work throughout the entire process is second to none. After a consultation w/ Dr. Panine, we decided to go with an FUE procedure of ~2500 grafts concentrated at the hairline. Dr. Panine worked closely with me on my hairline and my expectations while providing honest feedback about what I could expect in terms of results. The procedure went very well. After years of reading through various forums and websites, I can understand why they all share that Patience is Key! It was absolutely worth the wait and I am so very happy I found Dr. Panine. He is incredibly skilled and I honestly couldn't be more thrilled with the results. It's been a year now and I feel like a new person. Sharing photos of my pre-op, post op and 1 year later. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May give it another go with the new spray medication they have out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man! I use a thickening paste when I use product, parted on the side. I've definitely received compliments from Dr. Panine's work. I was one of the first to experience balding among my friends and now that some of my buddies are shedding, I may have a few referrals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe I still have various photos through the process but I wasn't super consistent. I can absolutely dig them up and post them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
