All the guys in my family are bold to some extent on both my mother and fathers side, i started to experience hair loss very young at 23.

It went very quickly in a space of about six months and soon it was all gone!

Thankfully i managed to get a loan(ouch!) to finance the transplant..After much research i had two surgeons i liked, one in Amsterdam & one in Brazil, because of family connections, I decided to go to Brazil.

I met with Dr Arthur the day after i arrived & found him very delightfully down to earth & and very friendly, he talked me through the nature of the surgery and showed me his technique of creating a natural look using the dimensions of the face combined with artistic interpretation.

i had a few days till the op so decided to travel a bit, i went to Rio to relax for a few days..which was awesome btw

On the day of the op i felt very relaxed there, it is very clean and fresh looking, great decor & artwork. In the sergury room there is a large wall window overlooking a very well kept garden filled with tropical flowers and a bannana tree. All the staff which were mostly women were very friendly! The procedure took the best part of the day but before i knew it, they finished.

I spent a few days resting & after about a week, i decided to do some more traveling.

All in all it was a great 'transplant holiday'!

Nik_DP,

Dr. Tykocinski is a top notch surgeon and a really cool guy. I'm pleased to hear your experience was first rate.

Post some more pictures when you get a chance and if you haven't already, I encourage you to create a patient website to share your experience, photos, and document your progress.

All the Best for a speedy recovery and healthy head of hair :-)

Bill

NickDP,

Thanks for keeping us up to date on your progress. I've taken the liberty of adding a link to your patient website in your forum signature.

Everything looks right on track for 4 months with some signs of growth.

I look forward to seeing your new head of hair when it all grows in :-)

Bill
