hey bloom where is your one on one consultation. in belgium or washington dc? i met with him one on one in DC in July.

mickey, wasnt dr bisanga trained by dr lorenzo? or maybe he wasnt trained by dr lorenzo but im pretty sure dr bisanga worked with dr lorenzo. does dr lorenzo use same one step manual extraction as dr erdogan? i know dr bisanga does manul punches but then leaves grafts in place until recipient sites are done and only then are the grafts taken out. it was explained to me that this allows grafts to be out of body for shorter amount of time.

he looks closer to a nw 5 to me, so amazing result

very nice

nice,

what a useless post. 60 seconds of my life ill never get back

who was ur dr? how many grafts

thanks for sharing, pain during implantation? this is the first time i read about someone feeling pain. did dr de reyes know you were in pain? what did he say was the reason? fitnessjunkie? u had pain too?

the work looks very good, clean and u have healed very well, but i agree with others who have pointed out that extractions were done outside the safe zone., that concerns me.

lookimg great. seems like a fairly large area was covered for just 1500 grafts. no?

thx for responding sevnblak. as others said, it looks really good and im sure ull have an amazing result. donor also looks untouched, amazing

was the procedure done over 2 days or all done in 1 day? how painful were the numbing injections. did the dr use manual or motorized punch. thx

looks pretty good.

probably one of the best documented write up's i have read. william great job and much appreciated for the detailed write up coupled with pictures. seeing your head shaved was great as we were able to see how great your donor area looks after having 5000 fue grafts taken. dr de reyes certainly did a great job as it is almost undetectable. i think you will have an awesome result and i cant wait to see your progress. pls keep us posted.

wow, real nice. congrats.

what a great transformation

wow it doesnt even look like the same guy

i thoiught he was waiting for october

thx for updating, looking much better. and ur only 4 months out. glad to hear scabbing is gone. thats great news. man i think u will have a killer result. pls keep us posted on ur progress. i cant wait to see u at 8-9 mnths post op. btwm how painful did u find the numbing shots to be?

amazing result

wow what a nice result

ill ask stephen, dr bisanga's rep to comment further about the 2 patient per day topic. will be interesting to see what he has to say.

spanker, i agree that i also would have preferred being the only patient. this was probably the the only slight negative . has anyone else had a 2 day procedure that can advise about their experience? johnny, i cant wait to hear about your account. i will keep everyone posted about my decision

i just got back from washington DC where i had a one on one consultation with dr bisanga. i thought i would share my experience so far with dr bisanga. the good news is that i was deemed to have very good density, 80-90 grafts/sq.cm and no minaturization and i was advised that i could easily and safely get 5000 fue grafts, maybe more. dr bisanga was a very nice, calm, easy going person whom made me feel very comfortable from the minute i met him. he did not rush me, answered all my questionsand was wiling to take as much time as needed to go through any topics/concerns/questions i had. what i liked is that dr bisanga, performs all the punches and the recipient site hmself. the technicians will only remove the grafts once punched and place them in recipient sites created by dr bisanga. he usually does maximum 1500fue grafts/day, or 2500-3000 fue grafts over 2 days. the belief is to take their time and do a proper job without having the patient endure a 15 hr procedure. he prefers to split larger sessions over 2 days in order to avoid patient and dr fatigue. he did mention that he could consider doing up to 2000 grafts in one day. dr bisanga has been doing fue since 2001 and he advised me that fue ow makes up 80% of his business. he also advised that when there is a procedure for 1500 grafts in a day or less he will likely have another patient the same day, but never more than 2. for 2000 grafts procedures, he would have one 1 patient that day. dr bisanga uses he own created manual punch tool ranging from .75-85MM and varies througout the procedure depending on size of graft being extracted. he advised that he prefers manual punch as he feels he has more control and can feel if a graft is about to be transected therefore he can change the angle to avoid transection. what was interesting is that he advised he uses a sharp punch as opposed to a blunt punch. what i really liked is that he is very conservative in his approach and will only undertake a patient once he properly assesses them and is confident he can deliver a successful result. i say this first hand as i had travelling to DC with a friend who also had a consultation. although my friends loss was not as extensive as mine, dr bisanga advised my friend that he would not be a good candidate for fue and that he could not be confident to produce a good result as my friend was assessed to have minaturization in donor area. this shows how honest dr bisanga is. overall i was very impressed with dr bisanga and i can see why so many patients opt for him to perform fue. although dr bisanga did not feel there would be enhanced risks froma 2 day back to back procedure this is the only thing that worries me. if anyone can tell me about their 2 day fue procedure i would greatly appreciate it

dou think it coul be because u did a 4 consecutive day procedure? i really hope things get better for you. keep us informed pls.
