Dr that don't shave

[B's_Fan]

Any IAHRS Recommended Surgeons in the NY area that don't require you to shave the recipient area...I know they need to shave the donor area...

I think the only one that requires his patients to shave is Dr. Feller. All of the rest do not.

That's unfortunate

That's is unfortunate....He was on my top 3 list....He really is outstanding..
I unfortunately can not shave my head. There is no way I could where a hat at work for a month or so

Can you take a leave of absence?

[B's_Fan]

Did it

gillenator,
I can take a couple of weeks but that's about it...I have actually chosen
Dr Dorin...I met with him and we went over everything...I left there knowing
I made the best decision...Top shelf guy...Explained everything to me and let me know what I can expect. Looking forward to getting this done!!!

texans, I think the 'trick' is to go to a top IAHRS-recommended surgeon who is experienced in creating very natural hairlines. In good hands, no one should be able to detect that you have had any work done once the transplanted hair has grown in.

In order to make sure you are ready to go back to work in 2-3 weeks, I would recommend looking into having PRP treatment in conjunction with your transplant. We have found that this accelerates the healing and eliminates any residual redness/pinkness in the recipient area much faster. You can also try Hair Cycle Post-Biotin Spray, which should also help the scalp heal more rapidly.

Tex,

If you are able to take that much time off work 2-3 weeks, you'll be fine unless you heal extremely slow and/or have a propensity for lingering redness. IMHO, I don't feel the PRP treatment would be necessary unless you choose this is something you would like to have done and don't mind spending the extra money.

Does shaving mean shave both the donor area and the area receiving the graft? How much shaving is done?

I am getting an HT done soon, however really want to try to conceal it as much as possible. I've attached an image of my crown, I would hate to shave that entire area for an HT...

[B's_Fan]

Shaving means they will shave the entire area of where the graphs are going. existing hair will be shave to give the doctor a better view of where the graphs are going in.
some doctors do it and some don't. I went to Dr Dorin in NY and he did not shave..They will shave the downer area but will do it in a way that will be easily concealed. He did not shave the area where I received the graphs.
