Regular Member parsia Posted March 22 Regular Member Share Posted March 22 (edited) Hello Everyone. I've decided to finally make my thread about my hair transplant result with DR.Ron Shapiro and also Dr.David , There were few friends on forum who wanted to see my result on my previous thread but I wanted to wait enough time to have reasonable update , I hope my thread can contribute what this forum and others did to help me to chose right surgeon. I have done my surgery on Sep 2023 , I'm 40 and I was probably Narwood 4.5 before my surgery , My experience with Dr.Shapiro was great and staff was very professional and also friendly, We did 3700 grafts with total of 7151 hairs . I am uploading some before pictures , post op and also monthly update on this thread. We have covered around 115cm2 including sides and temples and the average density is about 32 . You're all more than welcome to share with me your view about my result , Positive or negative , feel free to share me your thoughts , I do not get offended. I prefer not comment about my result before hear you guys opinion , But i also have to mention if I wasn't satisfy with my result I wouldn't post it here. I tried my best to be consistent with length of my hair and also lighting is same in all pictures. I have a detailed thread about my consultation with Dr.Shapiro back in OCT 2022 which has been posted below : (Yes , I was on waiting list for one year ! ) This is 1 year and half before surgery , I lost some of hair in frontal scalp by the time of surgery . All picture are in top view and front view. Top View and Front View : 5 days post up 3 months 4 MONTHS 5 months 6 MONTHS Edited March 22 by parsia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your comment , I just like to add with iphone camera the hairline looks more V shape and more conservative than what is in real life . I am near to month 7 and will update soon.

Senior Member BurnieBurns Posted March 24 Senior Member Share Posted March 24 Incredibly natural hairline that will age very well. A night and day difference already but no doubt there will be more thickening up over the next few months! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member parsia Posted May 1 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 1 Here is 8 month Update , Hair length is about the same , A bit shorter than Month 6 and month 7. Hair length is about 1.5 inches all around and I try to be honest with my result as much as possible and not covering any area with different kind of styling or longer hair either hair styling products . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member parsia Posted May 1 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 1 I also decided to add two indoor daylight photo , So the hair will be more clear and not under a bit harsh lighting. Feel free to share your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member parsia Posted May 29 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 29 (edited) 9 months update . I thought it would be better to upload some picture in indoor normal lighting, Hairs are longer so I don't upload my bathroom ( harsh lighting ) picture for this month because it may not be apple to apple comparison , But next month I will try to upload those as well . I haven't share my own opinion about my result yet because I didn't want to influence other posters opinion , However below is my opinion about my result so far : Naturalness : I got so many compliments from people who saw me before about how natural the result is looking and it is very undetectable. knew Dr.Shapiro is well known for his skill of making result natural but the result was even better than my expectation , Believe me there are many times in front of mirror I can't even say that I had hair transplant ! Especially now when result is getting better and thicker I feel like I regrow my hair with some kind of cure for baldness , Not surgery though. Hairline : I do like to make my hairline lower for at least 1-1.5 cm , However even this position of hairline doesn't bother me since it is giving me natural look and the old look I had when I was 26-28 years old , So even if I don't do the 2nd surgery It will not bother me much , Density : I knew from the first day my density will not be very high since we did around 30 grafts on the top , I believe there are some spots the grafts didn't survive or yield as much as they suppose to , So in result I will have less hair to play with for styling and also scalp may show some early thinning in harsh lighting. So density is something that I would focus if I want to have 2nd surgery, Having said that when hairs are longer since my hairs are wavy it become less noticeable.
