Senior Member ttaco Posted May 26, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted May 26, 2003 Here are some before pics I asked Joe Greco to send me. I just got them today. This is just before the surgery, just after, and a 9 month post op pic. So please understand why I get a little perturbed sometimes when others say that Greco is "unqualified."

Guest Posted May 26, 2003 Share Posted May 26, 2003 And I am searching ur Doc as we chat, lol Where is he and why is he not recommended here or is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member ttaco Posted May 26, 2003 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 26, 2003 He is in Clearwater, FL. Search through some old posts that contain his name and I think Pat briefly talks about why he isn't recommended. Most of his work is from referrals and he doesn't get too involved in the internet stuff, so he may just not want to pay the fee. Another poster named Andy went to him also and has posted his pics too.

Guest Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 ttaco, Your new hairline looks great. I really love it when a repair patient makes a "comeback" like you did. Did he remove any of your mini/micros or place grafts in front them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member ttaco Posted May 27, 2003 Author Senior Member Share Posted May 27, 2003 Thanks again for the compliments. He did not remove any of the minis/micros. Interestingly enough, I also had a consult with Dr. Vogel in Baltimore, and he told me in no uncertain terms, "You CANNOT camouflage that!" I asked him about putting FU's in front of what I had, and he said it wouldn't work." He wanted to take out the old grafts and dissect them and re-implant them. Not saying that wouldn't have worked (nor am I saying Vogel isn't good at what he does), but it would have been a lot more expensive and caused more scarring. Yes, Dr Weidig of Rockville did the initial work. And he is now retired, although he sold his practice to Dr. John Kiely, who is STILL doing the same outdated procedure from what I hear. Kiely actually did the last small mini/micro procedure on me, although I don't know if they are no doing strip now or still the open punch grafts. I feel like e-mailing them the above pics.

Regular Member Truckie Posted May 27, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted May 27, 2003 Quite impressive!! I hope mine looks half as good as that when 9 months rolls around. What an inspiration to people toying with the idea of having HT. I'm already thinking about going for another 1000 FU's next year for density. We'll see how it goes.

Senior Member Mr T Posted May 27, 2003 Senior Member Share Posted May 27, 2003 ttaco, I'd be defensive of that work, too! It looks good and you are happy. Nothing else matters. Thanks for sharing, Mr. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 I've had 3 procedures with Joe myself. I am VERY happy with my results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I've heard all the criticisms of Greco's credentials. Nonetheless, every time a client posts photos, the work looks just great! I'm very happy for you and appreciate that you have shared your excellent results. Paul My Surgery With Dr. Sharon Keene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
