Senior Member Westview Posted August 7, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Please ask him why some hairs grow a couple of millimeters, and then they stop and just sit there as stubble, and wont grow any further Edited August 7, 2021 by Westview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted August 7, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 7, 2021 Ask him if he ever sleeps, or better yet, where his work ethic comes from. His surgeries sometimes go late in the evenings and then he's responding to emails at 4am! 😮 1 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...
Senior Member giegnosiganoe Posted August 7, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 7, 2021 (edited) Really enjoyed that one, thanks Melvin and Dr. Konior! I especially liked the discussion on punch size vs healthier grafts. Edited August 7, 2021 by giegnosiganoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member deeznuts Posted August 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 8, 2021 Maybe another question about medication? I know Dr. Wong was highly optimistic about topical dut while Dr. Bisanga said he's more of an oral minoxidil guy. I wonder if Dr. Konior is experimenting with different drugs as well. Another question is how aggressive can you go in patients with limited foreseeable loss. i.e. the doctor looks through a microscope and sees limited miniaturization throughout the scalp. I understand that doctors tend to be a bit conservative so as to not deplete a patients donor supply but what about patients who are lower norwood and don't have a ton of miniaturization throughout the scalp. At what point can more aggressive transplants be attempted? The reason I ask is because I kinda want to get my temple peaks done but I'm unsure if it's a wise idea to spend the grafts there or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted August 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 8, 2021 This interview reminded me so much of my consultations with Dr. K, as he always uses the most fitting analogies to help us laymen understand and visualize the complexities of hair transplantation. Fascinating stuff! And I'm honored to have received a shout out. ☺️ 3 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...

Senior Member deeznuts Posted August 9, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 9, 2021 Wow. Surprising the H&W moved to implanters Interesting how he mentions looking for signs of a higher norwood. I had to start examining my temple points to make sure they weren't too receded Any chance we could get a Q&A with Dr. De Freitas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
