Hello Everyone,
Sorry for not posting last month but I saw no improvement so decided to skip a month.
I just hit the 10 month mark and it does seem like there’s still some new growth but I still have low density in some areas that need to be improved in the next month or I will require a new HT.
Looking forward to your comments.
This looks superb Portugal! Comparting the before-after photos, what a change! And you still have a few more months where that could improve.
Could you share some photos of your beard are "without" shaving for a few days? Would be interesting to see how it looks!
Many many thanks for sharing your amazing story. 😉

What happened with Wylie? Can we see his case somewhere in the Forum?
His story sounds really interesting and would love to see how those 5000 beard grafts are looking up there.
Thanks for sharing your story.

People who have known me for years don’t recognise me now when walking past in the street wearing a mask + new hair.
Wow! Fantastic result! What a change my friend!
If I had been your friend, by no means could I recognise you waking past in the street, not even without mask... 🤩
Many many thanks for sharing this precious information about Dr Ma.
And now it´s time to enjoy that NEW You, looking superb 😇

“*Due to MOH (Ministry of Health) guidelines in Singapore, medical clinics cannot show before & after photos on their websites. ”
From what I understand, clinics here are carefully regulated in the ways in which they promote themselves to ensure customers are given realistic expectations.
Not that it seems to be a problem, Dr Ma has a long wait list. The team only do one surgery per day.
Wow, this is something I have never heard before. Really interesting to see how they work in Singapore.

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.-

Greetings everyone, it’s been one crazy year to say the least, I haven’t been as active on here as I want to be so I apologize! I will get some more pictures here soon I just snapped one quick this morning on my way out. Things are coming along pretty good, my scar is finally starting to get better that I can wear almost a #5 on the sides.

I hope you all had a good Christmas and have a safe new years. I’ll update soon and if any of you have questions done hesitate to reach out!

To be honest nothing has changed, still looks the same as month 7-8, I'll try upload a pic when I can.
And for those asking if they should go to Pekiner or not, my answer is I don't know. I'm not satisfied with my transplant so interpret that how you will.
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!

Unfortunately, most clinics don’t know or have the time to consistently upload videos. It really takes a team, I upload myself to our channel, and with all of my other responsibilities, I could see how some clinics don’t have the time. That said, I think every quality clinic should be uploading weekly.
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?

There are tons of De Freitas results posted by his patients in the spanish forum recuperaelpelo.com - tons of them.
And the best results posted are TRULY amazing.
Check this one out:

Very good post @OliverAtom. 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.
If you're watching a clinic posted youtube vid where they are combing through the hair and doing so in natural or harsh lighting then what you see is the truth, although be it a top case that they want to show off. It's still a real result.
Likewise if you see a patient on here post a blurry pic in flattering light that makes a hairline look dense then what you see is probably a lie.
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.

What a result, especially with 3000 grafts. Is the patient on Finasteride? Why does the crown look so much better in the after pics even though no work was done on it?
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 😀

This is screaming hair transplant ! This would draw anybody eyes to your hair. I echo the above... give yourself a decent higher Norwood.
+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.. 😔 -

Coming from someone who had 2 HT at a turkish hair mill because it's all I could afford--trust me, it's better to take your time and find the right place rather than jumping into it with whatever place will have you and you can swing. Be very very deliberate with your surgeon and make sure it's a result you're going to love. I currently have some pretty horrendous scars because I cut corners and that's something I'm going to have to live with for life.
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 🤯-
