      Hero institute. Bogota - 3400 grafts

      By Gocar · Posted

      I visited Hero Institute in Bogota, Colombia, where Dr. Caballero performed my surgery. Since there weren't any reviews of this clinic in this forum, I was curious if anyone had heard about them before. Initially, I sent pictures with longer hair and was advised I'd need around 3,000 grafts to cover both crown and front. However, upon meeting Dr. Caballero in person, we agreed on 3,400 grafts. While my main concern was the front, the front and mid sections were also thinning and becoming patchy. I wasn't asked about how I wanted my grafts distributed, which I now think would have been helpful as I would have added some to the mid scalp area. Nevertheless, what's done is done. For context, I've been using topical minoxidil for about 4 years but never tried finasteride. My alopecia started slowly about 8 years ago, and I'm currently 37. I started taking finasteride 1mg daily right after the surgery, as encouraged by Dr. Caballero to improve the mid scalp area along with minoxidil. The procedure was divided into two days, with 1,700 grafts implanted each day (extractions from left side/ implants on front on day 1), taking about 8 hours each time, including preparation and lunch breaks. The numbing injections were painful, as expected, but some areas, like the hairline and a small portion of crown, were a bit more uncomfortable. However, Dr. Caballero promptly addressed this by adding extra anesthesia. There were also parts of the procedure that were painless, which was a relief. Overall, I think the entire process went well. Everyone at the clinic was very friendly and ensured I was comfortable. Dr. Caballero handled all the extractions and about 80% of the implants, with assistance from three nurses each day. She was also readily available to answer any questions I had. Without the extensive research I did beforehand, I would have felt more uncertain. The rest of the staff was also very helpful and responded quickly via WhatsApp to any questions or concerns I had. I'm now on day 6 after the first session and will be sharing updates as they happen. Feel free to ask any questions or share comments.

      Repair Stage I - Feriduni

      By Tommy1991 · Posted

      I agree that they don’t, even when issues are pointed out they still don’t listen and don’t accept.  Having been there, they are far from elite. For as long as I’m on this forum I would definitely encourage people to steer clear of Eugenix.  From where I have been personally, elite places are with Feriduni and Cooley.

      Surgeon rec?

      I’m curious to know what Norwood you would class yourself as? At this stage some things are not meant to be touched, and in your case you could end up making it a lot worse.
