Dr. Parungao was fantastic! Made me feel very comfortable about the procedure. My results were amazing! No one can even tell I had a hair transplant. So pleased! I would recommend any of my friends or family, that are interested in this type of treatment! 10 out of 10.
I want to express my sincere appreciation for the promptness and professional care given to me by Dr. Parungao. It is always a pleasure to be at ease with a doctor. I am very pleased by my experience..
Dr. Parungao and the entire staff really did a thorough job explaining and conducting the procedure. The entire staff was as patient as they needed to be and i am very pleased with the way I was treated throughout this process even with me being 6 days post-procedure...
Terrific experience! He’s guided me for many years on ways to keep my hair without needed a transplant yet. Very honest and upfront and really looks out for your best interest. I’ve seen many docs but he stood out as being the expert in his field. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great surgeon and hair loss advisor.
Dr. Parungao and his team were professional and caring throughout the process. From pre op through post op I was actively informed about what was happening and what to expect. Dr Parungao went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable throughout and reached out multiple times after the procedure. Overall, very pleased with the whole experience and will recommend to friends and family.
Dr Parungao was great. His team is amazing and they are always looking out for your interest both medically and financially. Would definitely look to him and his team again for future procedures Thanks again!!
Dr. Parungao changed my life! My hair started thinning when I graduated high school, at 23 I had almost no hair on the top of my head. I am now 24 and have so much more confidence because Doctor gave me (almost) a full head of hair
Dr. Parungao does amazing work! He and his staff helped me feel confidant again. I had tried several common “tricks” to hide my thinning hair and none of it worked. This is the real deal and I get compliments daily. Everything was easy and painless; I was in and out in less than a business day. I cannot thank him enough. I know these words are thrown around a lot, but I sincerely mean it when I say he changed my life! I would fully recommend Dr. Parungao to anyone seeking happiness.
Dr. Parungao was fantastic. I couldn’t be happier. The whole staff was courteous and professional. He and his staff has been in contact with me continuously to check on my well being and to make sure I was happy with the new hair growth . I look and feel 10 years younger .
I just had my second FUE performed by Dr. Parungao and his staff and I’m elated with the results. Dr. Parungao truly invests himself in the interests of his patients and he communicated my concerns to the entire team performing the procedure along with guidance to ensure the outcome was as positive as possible. After having gone through this once before I knew what to expect but what I didn’t expect was how artfully the team executed my FUE procedure to minimize any detectable “fingerprint” that would show I had anything done. I wear my hair in a short buzz cut so the way the extraction is done is critical to the final appearance and they did it wonderfully. I would highly recommend Dr. Parungao to anyone interested in hair transplant and I would strongly encourage everyone to talk over any concerns with the doctor. Not only did the team do a great technical job but they keep the OR fun and welcoming so the day really goes by quick. Thanks Dr. Parungao!!!
We've certainly operated on men in your very position, but you cannot get a definitive answer on a forum such as this. Find a local, reputable and experienced hair restoration surgeon to learn more about your surgical and non surgical options for your hair loss. You'll be glad that you started earlier rather than later and have been proactive in making this serious decision.
We also recommend that patients stay on their finasteride regimen during the hair transplantation surgery. In other words, we see no reason to stop taking it. Perhaps (s)he was referring to some other medications?
It is really hard to know what is going on here as we were not there for your original procedure nor do we know what was actually done. The fact remains that you are now showing ongoing hair loss in areas outside of your transplant. Did it look like that after your surgery? How about at year one? We don't know so we really cannot comment. The other issue that has been brought up is: are you continuing with the hair saving techniques that were brought up at your consultation: finasteride, minoxidil, laser therapy, PRP, etc? Finally, do you have good communication with your original surgeon? If yes, go back and discuss this. If not, you're free to get a 2nd opinion. Best of luck to you.
It is likely that you were informed that density that can be achieved surgically is not the same as your natural density. There is always a discrepancy. The key is to stay on hair saving techniques (like finasteride, Rogaine, PRP, laser therapy, etc) which will enhance your surgical results. Go back to your surgeon and discuss all of your options. Best of luck to you.
Maybe. You need to give it time to heal/recover. As you know, there is certainly a risk of being over-harvested with this procedure, but you will have a better idea of where you stand around month 6. In the meantime, explore different hairstyles to enhance what you have . Best of luck to you.
