Dr. Paul Shapiro 2200 Grafts (now with Pre and Post-op) by Colin (created on )Gallery | Comments 
Hello forum members,
I would first like to start out by introducing myself. My name is Colin and I am a 24 year old with a Norwoor 2-3. My journey to HUT started about a year ago at MHR. I had even put a deposit down for a procedure with them last summer, and thank god that I found this site. I have been lurking here for quite some time and thanks to all of the information here I was pointed to the Shapiro Medical Group, which happens to be just 20 minutes from my house. So thank you all for the wealth of information on this site!!

Well my journey to reclaim my rightful hairline has just begun, and I am 2 days into the long and (probably difficult) recovery. Let me first say that the staff at Shapiro Medical Group is absolutely fantastic. They are warm, funny, attentive to your needs, and in very good spirits. I can't stress enough how calming it was to be in a positive environment with a staff that actually seemed to care about the patients!

My marathon day of about 11.5 hours ended up with about 2200 grafts in restoring my hairline and adding density in the middle portion of my head. It was difficult at times to be sitting in the chair for so long, but the staff did everything in their power to keep me comfortable. Late in the day, they ended up with more hairs than anticipated, so Dr. Paul even made an extra 100 incisions to give me the all the hair they could muster.

I have to give kudos to Dr. Paul for getting the exact hairline I was looking for; not too sharp around the temples, but a little more mature than my hairline from my teenage days. I think I will be very happy with the results, and I should have great growth just in time for my wedding (in June 2008). Although the next few months will be difficult, I have all the confidence in the world that my results will be as I expected. So without further adue, I present my 2 days post-op pics, with pre post-op and immediate post-op pics to follow. Enjoy.

**UPDATE (05/22/07)**
I now have my immediate pre and post-op photos up for a side by side comparison. As you can see, I was very thin in the frontal area, which was my main area of concern. I am healing very well, and most of the scabs are now gone or on their way out, at day 6!! I have also obtained my graft numbers, as follows.

Total grafts - 2201
1 hair - 638
2 hair - 1003
3 hair - 559
4 hair - 1
Total # hairs - 4325

Enjoy,
-Colin
