Wow, getting some great information from @RMancini about Dr Couto and many questions we all were looking for since while back. So using one of @miko posts with some questions, I have gathered some of the most important information if one of us would choose Dr Couto at FUExpert Clinic for his/her Hair Transplant: 1. What is the total PRICE for a graft at FUExpert Clinic? - First HT surgery with Dr Couto €4.5/graft - Temples work €5/graft - Any repair procedure of a bad result at another clinic €5/graft *FUExpert Clinic might offer a discount for those patients who go back to the clinic for another procedure which I understand could be restoring the crown, temples, etc. 2. Which method do they use for grafts extraction (manual or micromotor)? When both, from which it depends? From the info on ➡️ FUExpert Clinic YouTube Channel we can see that they use both manual and micro so it will depend on the patient. However, we do not have details of when and why Dr Couto uses manual or motor. Maybe @RMancini could investigate on this if he has to do any checkup at the clinic. 3. Who used to exctract and implant follicules at FUExpert Clinic (doctor/staff)? - Dr Couto seems to start the extraction process on the first day and then explains to his team what the extraction strategy is going to be and how many units of each type are needed, the team continues. 4. Is some package included to the price (accomodation/transfers/medical package/PRP/steam cells therapy, etc)? - From reading on Youtube comments FUExpert Clinic does not offer packages (included on the price). - They offer PRP sessions but they seem to be something extra, this means patients can decide to go for this treatment at a completely independent cost from the HT surgery. About PRP´s, it would be interesting to here the costs and details of a one PRP session at FUExpert Clinic from any Couto´s patient 5. Is it necessary to shave head or it is possible to do hair transplant also with unshaven head? If yes, is there some difference in price? - Maybe Mancini could investigate this on his next visit to the clinic? 6. How many patients do they operate at the clinic in one day? - It seems like Dr Couto operates on a maximum of 2 patients per day at FUExpert Clinic, one of the patients in the morning and another one in the afternoon. *Extra important points: - Dr Couto never deals with the 2 patients at the same time. - The number of grafts per day never exceeds much more than 1000 grafts so that this allows the team to work without stress. - Complete respect of the times of the follicles outside the body. Literally words of @RMancinii: "The feeling I had is that they work like a Swiss watch." 7. How long did you wait for 1st consultation? - RMancini has not shared this info. - It was 1 year from RMancini´s 1st consultation to the HT surgery. *Important fact: RMancini points out that the original date for his surgery was Sept. 2021, which would have made the wait to be 23 months. This changed because the Covid is forcing many international patients to cancel their surgeries since they can not fly into Spain. 8: Who drew your hairline before HT and how (according what)? - Dr Couto makes the design drawing the hairline. - Dr Couto marks the donor area planning the extraction. - Dr Couto cuts the patient's hair. ---------------------------- I would try to update this whenever we get new details of other important data. Many thanks to @RMancini for sharing some precious information about Dr Couto.

Oh, yeah, the party is about to begin 😜

What a change! Top result! Contratulations my friend 😉

Quite nice at just 10 weeks! Thanks for sharing.

Ohhhhh!! This is marvellous! What a lovely hariline! Love it 😍 Super congratulations for an outstanding job here!

Guano, It´s sad to see this final result. It was really promising on the post-photos. However, you seemed to have a nice donor area, how is the donor right now... and your hairline could be easily fix with 700-800 grafts. About the touch-up, have you decided on going back with Pekiner? Even if it´s free havent you considered other options?

This looks so clean! The hairline design is fantastic! Mancini, as giegnosiganoe already asked: - What was the involvement from Dr. Couto vs the technicians? - Was he working on other patients during the same day? - How is you donor looking at the moment? Please, keep updating.... We were waiting for this for a long time! Couto is believed to be "The Magician" !!! I have been following him on his ➡️ FUExpert Clinic YouTube Channel and in different forums and his results are all AMAZING! So I´m sure your result will be Excellent! Thanks a lot for sharing Mancini!

Totally agree with you Melvin. It takes a lot more effort and time to create VIDEO content. It´s a lot easier to take 20-30 photos and then upload them in a few clicks to the clinic website or to a Forum than investing the time and money on creating 3-5 minutes videos which in most cases the clinic might also have to outsource having an extra cost of around $1800-2500/month ... But, what is this for a clinic that operates on 8-12 patients every month. Some clinics can even charge $25000/2000 grafts for just one patient ... Certainly is not about the money. Therefore, videos are the BEST way Doctors can show the world their PASSION for their work, their Art... Videos also help to build trust among users, they connect a lot better and they are a lot more transparent and honest than photos... Video content is PRICELESS nowadays. Not even close to see a few photos compared with a before-after VIDEO... A clear example of the impact and trasparency of a video is this tutorial you share with our community... would it be the same if this videos were just presented with a few photos and some written text? Absolutely NOT!!! Quarantine Self-Fade Tutorial How You Should Approach A Failed Hair Transplant? Dr. Bisanga Answers Therefore, I also agree with you that Top clinics should be uploading their patient results weekly if not monthly. Hopefully in the coming New Year, clinics start showing their passion for their work through video content. I´m sure all of us would love to see that, right?

Freitas is a magician!!! Oh MY God, what a result 😍

That´s it BjornBorg! I couldnt have explained it better than you just did 😀 As you say: We can't divide our research into clinic posted=bad and patient posted=good. It doesn't work like that. You need to use your eyes and be honest to yourself about what you're seeing.

Beautiful indeed! Also curious about that crown. I guess the patient started using Finas, right? Congratulations on another amazing result!

Nice video with three outstanding results!!! That crown wow!!! Thanks for putting this together Melvin 😉

From what I have seen, 7 months would be good in most cases... but you might have a slow process so you shouldnt count on having the final result by the 7th month. However, if I were you I would do it. It sounds great what you say: "like to be in another country and enjoying the life" 😀 Now and important part on this is ... finding the RIGHT Hair Clinic. Good luck!!!

The photos right after the procedure look quite good. Now I guess it´s time to be patient ... Thanks for sharing!

A nice and subtle result. The type of hair, being curly, is bringing that hairline back to live 😀

+10000 Totally agree with you John. It´s sooo obvious he had something done up there and it does not look good at all. I´´m sure he will end up doing a touch-up. As you guys are saying, better a dense NW III than what he did.. 😔

Thanks for you honest advice and so sorry to hear about your Turkey experience 😔 As you say, it´s crutial nowadays to take our time and find the right place. I will take all the time it needs (that will also help my savings 😃) to then go for the best I can afford!

What a clean HT! This was not easy as I can see from the photos. And the result is fantastic for a 50 year old. With that hairline he is now a new man for sure! Congrats to Dr Konior for another excellent result!

Whattttt!!! Oh my god... and having all the money he chooses Turkey 🤯

Melvin, Incredible change! And you still have for sure at least one more procedure to go for... I would bet that with 1500-1800 and that oral minox and finas to maintain, and you are done... even though as you say, you then will WANT MORE AND MORE 😀 ... we always want more of everything, money, hair, love... but I believe HAPPINESS is the final destination that we should look for, and I see that you are really happy! Many thanks for all your info and sharing your journey, it´s surely an inspiration for us looking to someday jump into the HT adventure! I´m still looking at my options to find the best doctor ha ha... but my reduced current budget might postpone my complete Happyness for a good while 😒 ... However, loving to see all the stories here in the Forum! Thanks again and congrats on your amazing transformation!

Oh yeah, what a change! Now if you end up using 3000 for your crown, bye bye alopecia 😀

Totally agree with this. It all depends on the patient needs and possibilities.

Oh my God! Marcussoni, what a story, the tattoo part is wow, how could that guy do that to you... but do not worry... luckily you found this forum and now you are on the right track to a NEW look. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to your updates. Best of luck my friend : )

Impressive! What a change from the first photos to this 7th month after the 2nd. Looking great! How are you looking today? How is your donor? And the vertex, how did end up on the 12-14 months? Hope to see an update! Thanks for sharing : )

Wooooooow!!! Looking sweet! I really like the naturalness! That touch-up has made a big difference. Many thanks for sharing 😊
