    Default Dr that don't shave

    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.

    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...
