He prides himself in personally placing the majority of the grafts and not leaving the surgical room until the procedure is completed. He also does all the consultations in his clinic.

Dr. Konior’s very experienced staff prepare all the follicular unit grafts using microscopes exclusively. He  carefully creates all the incisions for these refined grafts using very tiny custom cut blades. By carefully controling the angle, direction and depth of these incisions he creates a very natural pattern and direction for the new hair, even in the temples and sides. 

The special instruments he uses create tiny and minimally invasive incisions that enable very small grafts to be placed close together. This enables his patients to achieve cosmetic density in a given area after only one surgical session.

He believes that hair restoration surgery should be one of the most positive and uplifting experiences in one's life. He and his staff are committed to offering individual attention, technology, and artistry that cannot be found in clinics that take an assembly line approach to hair restoration surgery.

He feels that his strong background in plastic surgery helps give him an artistic edge in creating a visual harmony between the hairline and the rest of the face. He also uses his cosmetic surgery training to minimize any resulting scar tissue.

He has demonstrated his surgical expertise on local and national media, including television news programs, professional journals, cable television documentaries, newspapers, and magazines. Dr. Konior has been an active member of the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgeons since 1994 and co-chaired the Chicago Hair Meeting for the AAFPRS in 1995. He is also the author of numerous research articles, journal articles, and book chapters.

In an effort to bring greater legitimacy and control to the practice of hair restoration, Dr. Konior and 14 other hair surgeons formed the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery in 1996. These top doctors in hair surgery set the current academic standards for assuring competency in hair transplantation.

Dr. Konior was born in the city of Chicago and now resides in the suburbs with his wife and children. He graduated college with honors from the University of Illinois. This was followed by the University of Illinois School of Medicine, a surgical residency in head and neck surgery at prestigious Northwestern University, and a fellowship in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at the University of Texas.

He has held a surgical professorship with Loyola University Chicago since 1989, and is considered to be Loyola University’s expert on hair restoration surgery.

In 1997, Dr. Konior was voted one of Chicago's "Top Docs" by Chicago Magazine, making him the only hair restoration surgeon in Chicago voted into the magazine.

He was one of only 5% of the Chicago area doctors voted for inclusion in Woodward & Whites "Guide to the Best Doctors in America". For the last 3 years he has been selected to be listed in the Castle Connolly guide, "Top Doctors in the Chicago Metro Area", which is available in major book stores. Lastly, his operating rooms were given a perfect score for safety, cleanliness, and quality leading to full accreditation by The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO).
