Dr. Allan Parungao

Dr Allan Parungao is a hair restoration surgeon with Advanced Hair Restoration in Seattle 1. The group's Seattle office is at 10845 Main Street in Bellevue, Washington 2. Advanced Hair Restoration is a group with more than 30 offices in the United States; it is not his own practice 1. The Bellevue office page names him and Dr James Aachen-Winans as the surgeons who perform procedures there 2. His profile says he earned his M.D. at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, where he also did residencies in general and plastic surgery 1. It says he owned his own plastic surgery practice for a decade, then was Chief Surgeon and Assistant National Medical Director at Bosley Chicago 1. His ISHRS profile says he moved to full-time hair restoration surgery after 12 years in cosmetic plastic surgery 3. That listing still links to Athens Hair Transplants, whose site now says it is closed 4.

His profile says he performs Advanced FUE, with No-Shave FUE available 1. The group says No-Shave FUE leaves the donor and recipient areas unshaved, and a hybrid option trims only the donor area 1. It says FUT is reserved for cases like extensive scar revisions 1. The group describes extraction and placement as physician-guided 1. It does not say which steps the surgeon does and which the technicians do 1. The group says its teams complete sessions of 4,000 or more grafts in a single day 1. These descriptions are group-wide and not specific to Dr Parungao 1. His profile says he plans a case with donor supply first, density second, and a hairline that will still suit as native hair changes 1.

The group does not publish its own prices 15. Its pages give US-wide figures of about $5,000 to $15,000 or more for a hair transplant 5. It says pricing is per graft and the per-graft rate falls as the graft count rises 5. It says No-Shave FUE is typically priced higher than standard FUE 5. It says the quote covers the procedure, the surgeon, the medical team, post-operative care and follow-up 5.

Consultations are free and in person and end with a treatment plan and quote 1. The Bellevue office says consultation, hairline design and the procedure take place there, most often in a single day 2. The group's FAQ advises at least two days off work 6. His profile says new growth begins at 3 to 4 months and results build over 12 months 1. The group markets its results as "Guaranteed to Grow for Life" 5. The written terms of that guarantee are not on the pages we archived 5.

The ISHRS lists him as a Full Member 3. His ISHRS profile says he is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery 3. His Advanced Hair profile lists him as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons 1.
