This is amazing! And that donor 🙌🏻

Congratulations 🎖

Amazing result! What a comeback 🤩 INSANE!

Congratulations 🎖

Thanks for sharing this case. Can not wait to see the second part. 

Also, I am sure that if the patient would get his hair cut on the sides, the result would look impressive.

Congratulations 🎖

Perfection! What a result! INSANE! 

Dr Konior is amazing 🎖

Superb result! So natural.

And the video is the perfect prove of this marvellous result. Clinics should use video a lot more often so we can really see the TRUE result of a hair transplant. Photos are good but many times we can not see the real result. 

Congratulations. Love it ❤️

this is both somewhat true and somewhat false. Plenty of celebrities and other people with money go to garbage clinics. I think Floyd Mayweather went to a hairmill in Turkey. Plenty of athletes and other celebrities go to bad hairmills. 

The sad truth of the matter is - if you are someone "noteworthy", the doctor and tech team are going to give you your undivided attention and an A+ effort. Whereas if you are just a regular Joe going to a hairmill, you are going to have a bad time. 

It's the reason so many famous people and influencers can go to bad clinics and still get good results. 

Totally agree with you.

When I was talking about footballers and money, I meant that IF one of the BEST clinics would ask a FOOTBALLER 20€/graft they would be totally fine paying that.

However, another very important thing is DOING YOUR RESEARCH.
Footballers, celebrities and rich people delegate this which it´s the most important thing. And Forums is where you learn the truth about Hair Transplants. As you guys know and some already said, Footballers, celebrities, etc are not here trying to learn and doing their proper research. 

And when Footballers, celebrities delegate this on their "assistants" well, bad decisions happens most of the time. 

Research, research and more research!!!
That is what we (with normal salaries) do. We try to find the best doctors/clinics that fit both our expectations/budget. When I proceed with mine I will first look at the money I have at the bank and then I will choose the best possible clinic/doctor.

Yes, but this request was specifically for Bisanga himself, no technicians. It’s not feasible in modern day hair restoration. To do everything yourself, it would take multiple days. You’re essentially asking the surgeon to dedicate his entire practice to you for multiple days. If you consider the clinic does 1-2 surgeries a day, plus consultations and other non-surgical treatments. That’s probably 50k a day that they would lose for one patient. In my opinion, they should have just said no. This option would only make sense to someone like Elon Musk or someone extremely wealthy and famous that wants total privacy. 

Elon Musk is SUPER MEGA RICH... Or Jeff Bezos, who most likely would be rejected by Dr Bisanga 🤕

But bear in mind that there are a lot of RICH people out there with lots of $$$$$ ... take the 6 most important FOOTBALL League Competitions.

The six major European soccer leagues are the English Premier League, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, German Bundesliga, French Ligue 1, and Portuguese Primeira Liga.

There are a total of 116 teams in these six leagues: 20 in the English Premier League, 20 in La Liga, 20 in Serie A, 18 in the Bundesliga, 20 in Ligue 1, and 18 in the Primeira Liga.

The number of registered players in these six leagues varies each season, but it is estimated that there are around 3.000 players registered in total.

So, if we take that, maybe 50% would need/want a hair transplant to look younger/better... we have 1500 players who need a HAIR SURGEON. 

As for the average weekly salary of players, this also varies greatly depending on the league and the team they play for. According to a 2020 study by Sporting Intelligence, the highest average weekly salary is found in the English Premier League, where players earn an average of £61,000 (around €71,000) per week. This is followed by La Liga in Spain, where the average weekly salary is around €62,000, and Serie A in Italy, where the weekly average wage is around €40,000. The German Bundesliga and French Ligue 1 have an average weekly salary of approximately €34,000 and €30,000, respectively, while the weekly average wage in the Portuguese Primeira Liga is around €8,000. It should be noted that these values can vary significantly between teams and individual players.

Dont you think any of these FOOTBALL players would be willing to spend 2 weeks or 1 month salary for a NEW Beautiful Look 😎 ?

And I am just stating football here ... sometimes we forget there are many people out there with GOOD money that would easily pay 20€/graft for their HT ... which I still think is totally insane.

Not sure how Konior & Bisanga are considered the best & their prices are too much. 

Show me where they have restored NW 6 & 7's that is the ultimate challenge.

They dont have as good as cases as Zarev,Pitella,Eugenix & Hasson & Wong.

They are excellent but not like there are not better surgeons.

If they were doing something exceptional I woulkd understand but they are not

I never said Konior & Bisanga are THE best. I said "the BEST surgeons will be entitled to charge great amounts for their SUPERB quality work" meaning the GROUP of BEST SURGEONS of the moment. Konior and Bisanga are among the best along with others like Zarev, Pitella, Eugenix & Hasson & Wong, Freitas.

In my opinion, the best doctor of the moment is Dr Couto and he is just charging 4.5€/graft. If you compare this with 20€/graft asking price by Dr Bisanga, well, there is a great difference but again, in my opinions doctors CAN demand what they want. Specially when they have a demand like the one presented here: I WANT YOU and just YOU.

However, I want to say that I think the clinic might have misunderstood @Tiago Martins . I am quite sure he meant: "I want Dr Bisanga to be the person extracting and putting the grafts in place", which could be done with the help of other 3-5 techs and over the period of 4 days. And all for 20@/graft. 



 

Dr Konior prices are up there too. But you are guaranteeing your result for sure. 

If you want a VIP service with Dr Bisanga, one of the VERY BEST, I think he has the right to tag his work at €20/graft. If I had the money I wouldnt mind paying that but... I could never pay so, I will have more options within my budget. 

I am sure more doctores will start offering this VIP Exclusive services. With a lot more clinics doing very bad hair transplants all around the world, the BEST surgeons will be entitled to charge great amounts for their SUPERB quality work. Messi, Cristiano, Beckam, Michael Jordan... had astronomical salaries compared with the rest... all could ask whatever they want. Cristiano is making €200 millions a year, something never seen before... Great doctors will do this too.

Thanks a lot for the info.

Ohhh yeah. This looks great coming close to 4 months.

This was a really interesting show 🤩 thanks for sharing.

 

Looking fantastic. Dr Feriduni is one of the best, one of my favs. Your result is gonna be brilliant.

Awesome to see that Dr. Rahal took care of your touch-up. 

I am sure you will get a great result. And let's see that donor, if they did a good job extracting, it will be better too.

Hey gang, 5 weeks out. A lot of the hairs have now shed. A few didn't, but I assume they still might. Real ugly duckling hours.

Dr K said it's looking normal, but is it standard to look so different in terms of density? Compared to my post op, it really looks like some of the grafts aren't there, but I'm sure I didn't lose any. I was so careful, never had any head knocks, and haven't had any bleeding or any fall out. Are they just so small that it's super hard to see at this stage?

Donor looks the same as prior to the HT, so didn't figure I'd post a pic 

Just look how beautiful this is! What a clean job. Perfection!

Dr Konior is the dream doctor by all of us. And after this he gets in his car and drives you to the hotel!
Dr Konior is just ... Priceless 🎖 🙌🏻

Interesting and really challenging. Will be following this thread. All looking good.

Amazing news 🤩

+100000 Awesome news! Dr Zarev times 3 would be superb to have!

1 month. The shed has started. I reckon 30%-40% of transplanted hairs have fallen out. Also, my shock loss is significant. Maybe 30-40%. But it’s a long game. I’m 8 months from my second surgery, maybe 16-18 months from final result. Thankfully I work from home so I’ve just been wearing hats. Also told my few coworkers so it wouldn’t be weird. 

 

 

That is a big crown. Can wait to see Dr Zarev magic on that!

Best thread ever. What an inspiration for us all. Just an amazing transformation. 

What an AMAZING transformation 🤩 🙌🏻 ! It just looks insane looking your first photos and comparing with these last ones. 

And the crown? Wow! Ciao ciao alopecia!

The issue here is that these pictures that you initially posted are very good quality and close up, if more people in these forum posted pictures like yours there would be more people in need of repair 😉

This is right here as BaldV saying! So true. Wish everyone would post great photos like yours. 

However, a little touch-up would turn this into a great hairline! You have great options to choose from. 

Impressive result by Dr. Maras! What a transformation 🎖 Congratulations!

Lovely done by Dr Bisanga 🙌🏻 Congratulations!!!

Wow wow wow!!! Such a transformation 🤩

Marvellous work by Dr Pittella 🎖 Congratulations!

Wow wow wowww!!! What a SUPERB transformation, my god! 

I love your result! So natural, such a beautiful new hairline! 

The JOY ☺️ in your eyes says it all. Brilliant, just brilliant 🙌🏻 💙

Wow, your case is challenging for sure. 
A lot of miniaturization all over. But if there is a doctor who can take on a case like this is Super Konior! 

How was the count of those 2114 grafts? Were finally 1500 grafts from your donor and the rest from the beard? 

Can not wait to see your update photos! 

Hello @TeeJay1   you should be hitting 5 months by now, how is everything looking?
