Swooping

Not weird imo. Some docs are really popular and they only have so much time. You can always apply for a free online consultation.

@Dr. Feller and Dr. Bloxham, Thank you for your response. I can not speak for Dr. Bisanga, but here is a piece written recently by him that gives an insight behind the philosophy of our clinic.

I have used a bit of make-up a few weeks post-op, was excellent in hiding the redness Don't know if every doc/clinic allows that though.

Which rep did you speak to? Anyway, I assume it means indeed a combination of FUE + FUT? I would message the rep for further clarification if I were you.

Are you on finasteride? Anyway, seems a bit a low amount of grafts. I mean it depends on your goals, but I'd go for a bigger procedure to reinforce your temples and frontal forelock a bit more.

Not heard of them. Be careful with Turkey, some clinics are horrendous there.

Travel over to Belgium or Turkey.

Well, yes, Dr. Bisanga does screen every patient meticulously. So if you are not a suitable FUE candidate he will tell you. Hence, I was only talking about the survival yield he has observed in all patients that were indeed suitable FUE patients and underwent surgery with him.

Good luck! Looking forward to your blog!

Bill, I have visited Dr. Bisanga in Brussels on Monday. I was very impressed, to say the least. Anyway, we also talked about FUE. I did bring up the question of growth yield to Dr. Bisanga. He doesn't think there is any difference in growth yield between FUT and FUE in his practice. Hope that helps, Damian.

Oh thought you were longer in the process! Yeah, gotta be patient still very early. Looking forward to more updates .

He does both chest & beard hair if appropriate. I'll upload them and will send you the links.

I like Konior his work.

Any update KO? Curious to your progression.

Is a hair transplant going to make a significant impact on your aesthetics? Nope. That being said if you are occupied with your thoughts for 5 years already and it's bothering you then perhaps it is worth pulling the trigger. Personally, for me, a peace of mind is priceless.

Hey guys, I have been making videos for Dr. Bisanga on his patient case reports and put up a channel on YouTube. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRkWtd-HA_pcGSrH6J7FlJw Do note that some pictures we receive are taken by the patient themselves. There are way more videos to come, including repair and body hair transplant case reports. You'll see more in the coming weeks, I'm far from finished :cool:.

This topic can be removed, sorry wrong section.

I have immediately redirected your message to Dr. Bisanga personally. You will receive a response very soon. Thank you. Update: You got an email.

Fun fact, in Japan sometimes 0.2mg finasteride daily gets prescribed to patients, which can be increased to 1mg daily for androgenetic alopecia. They actually have 0.2mg propecia tablets over in Japan. 0.2mg daily will actually inhibit pretty much the same in terms of serum DHT levels as 1mg daily. However, 0.2mg daily will be less effective overall as 1mg daily. This is probably due to the difference between serum and local tissue levels, as DHT exerts its biological activity in an endocrine/paracrine/autocrine way to the androgen receptor at the hair follicle. Point being is, yes there are certainly people who can "maintain" their hair with a lower dosage than 1mg daily.

Hey, That's weird. How did you contact us? If you have any questions or wishes feel free to contact me at any time. I'll get your queries through immediately.

Thank you!

It depends on the size of the procedure but typically Dr. Bisanga has one small and one bigger case a day. So most of the time he does 2 cases if it's a big procedure he will do 1 a day.

Thank you. I did not have a procedure with him I have always considered him on world elite tier level. Dr. Bisanga punches all grafts by himself and the technicians only pull out the grafts after he has scored them.

For your interest, Koray Erdogan collaborated with a medical university in Turkey to determine the damage on to grafts with a 30K RPM motorized system. Grafts were analyzed with an electron microscope and the findings of that study were that there was no difference in graft quality with a manual punch vs motorized system.

Where have you learned that testosterone levels increase during sexual intercourse? This is not true. Abstinence from ejaculation actually seems to somewhat increase testosterone levels after a few weeks, but this is understudied. Either way, whether you have sex often or don't have sex at all. You have nothing to worry about.
