Nicholasbanuelos Posted September 17, 2022 Share Posted September 17, 2022 Dr panine has surpassed what I had thought was possible with my hair transplant. I was very skeptical at first, but after Stuart welcomed me in and talked to me through the procedure and what was possible for me since I was just 24 at the time with really bad hair loss. However 12 months later I am more confident than ever, Dr. Panine did such an amazing job I really couldn't recommend him enough. I feel 17 again. He has turned Hair transplant surgery into an artform and is passionate about doing a great job. I felt the procedure went very well and I enjoyed talking to him throughout it. The healing process flew by and as soon as I could start working out again I was in the gym. Next thing I know 12 months later and I am getting more and more compliments every day. Dr. Panine is truly great at what he does and I am grateful for the experience at the Chicago Hair Transplant Clinic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member follically challenged Posted September 17, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 17, 2022 That's nice, but are there any before pics? It's really hard to assess without seeing where you started before... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HappyMan2021 Posted September 17, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 17, 2022 (edited) I'm genuinely glad you are happy, and really that's all that matters. But it looks like the transplant hair has a minor curl or puffiness to it, that your native hair texture behind it does not match. I would be surprised if any casual observers notice though. But, just from a very critical and perfectionist POV - I think the angles of the hairline could have been better. Is your donor hair naturally wavy/curly? That is my impression. Also for a 24 yr old - which is super young - your temples aren't really closed in, and the hairline overall is on the conservative side. Again that's all fine and great if this is an improvement, just looking at this from an objective/perfectionist lens. What norwood are you? What did your donor situation look like? Before pics would be really helpful. Edited September 17, 2022 by HappyMan2021 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member John1991 Posted September 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 18, 2022 (edited) I think the texture may continue to get more similar to the rest of your hair as time goes on. I don't think that this was an overly "conservative" design. This is just a normal adult male hairline. Especially given that you're only 24 and had a good bit of your frontal third missing already. It looks good bro. Edited September 18, 2022 by John1991 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
