  1. I did a transplant with Ron Shapiro. I spent a lot of time researching both European, Indian and American surgeons. I also did a big job in understanding the FUT vs FUE. I decided FUT as it is more efficient and you get better extraction results. Superior actually and you can get a lot more out of it. 2xFUT and then another 2xFUE if you need. If you go the other way around it is 2xFUE ONLY... And FUT extracts massive amounts compared to FUE in comparison. I have ca 11000 grafts extracted and I have heard people doing up to 16000 in extreme cases. Then I went through all the experts and I found Ron Shapiro as the superior of them all. He did research and star doing the "modern" FUT long before everyone else. His results were also far better with regards to shock , depth vs height. He has less complaints than most others do have. Then I took off in December 2011 and there was a whole team working with me from the morning till the late evening (I flew all the way from Europe). The results was amazing and still 9 years after I have no bad shocks or losing hair from it. I need to complement because of aging but what Ron Shapiro did is superior. I have seen others also and nothing beats Ron Shapiro. Highly recommended and noone of the American, Indian nor Europeans beat him. 6 stars out of 5!!
  2. I have decided on FUE. The scar is too ugly to even think of. Having to consider an HT and in addition a scar will make me back off is my first feeling. The level is an NW4 approximately. I had two surgeons reviewing me (some of the mentioned) and they state 2800-3800 grafts. Currently waiting for the third. Donor area is very dense. I am in the mid 40's approaching 50 :-(. What I am most concerned of is that Bisanga makes one big bang while the others make smaller sessions per day as I understand it with up to 1200 grafts per day. I reallise that this is one critical hurdle that will make the difference of survival rate of the grafts. So even if the result of Bisanga is great I am willing to consider the others as I have heard they are good also, but have lower rates per day which I believe is sound. Are there any opinions in this? But when reviewing videos, Erdogan and Kesser does have not that much material to review. Bisanga have great review material though!
  3. I have decided to make an HT. However, I cannot make up my mind comapring three surgeons: 1. Dr Kesser 2. Dr Bisanga 3. Dr Erdogan What are the pro?s and cons of these? Any one daring to stick out and tell?
