It can take some time. Dr. Pittella has grown very popular, so the demand is high. If you’re still having trials dm me. 

Thanks Melvin, I’ll wait till end of the week first

amazing result. Im waiting on an online consult date - whatsapp rep said they're trying to find a time as of last friday, so 4 days no response yet. Does anyone know if this is normal and might take a while to get a response back for consult date? i was already sent graft estimation and estimate.

I haven’t heard of him, any reason you’re not considering Pittella?

Since ive had multiple FUTs, still unsatisfied, and need to possibly use from beard.. im most definitely considering Pittella. Id love to just book with him even if its far out - but I'm still waiting on a response for a virtual consultation date.

Dr Dourado is another Brazil guy that looks to be doing pretty big restorations. I cant find English reviews. The results I've seen are from his clinics site and his instagram - they are very good but most of the clinics pics are directly post op. the post op recipients site looks very similar to Pittella - whole head covered very clean looking. He's regularly doing 7k graft sessions and from what i can tell in the pre op images he likes to incorporate both beard and chest grafts. Was wondering if anyone has any experience with him or knowledge of his work.

looking forward to this as well. any update on its release date?

Anyone have quotes from Freitas? He charges a custom rate per case according to his site, but not sure what the ball park would be

How is it flying out right after a full shaved head with donor and recipient work done on it? is it a little weird walking around the airports or not really?

would love to see an update on this one and how the crown is looking.

Yeah I got really lucky, especially since I got the HT before I found this forum, and it was from a chain type place. 

Well they did a great job. And I should clarify because I sounded like a contradicted myself in a recent post I made in another topic. I wish I read and did more diligence here before one of my FUTs. I did find this forum and basically just quickly referenced the surgeon list and that was about it. Ended up not being great. But now finding the info and reviews more useful. 
 

if anyone new reads this.. don’t be me.. even if the surgeon is listed here.. take your time to read as much as you can

I came across this and feel like I should add my experience with Charles and this forum. For some pretext I'm back on this forum after not being a reader of it for over a year. Im back because of all the great FUE result cases linked to here, particularly because of the incredible results of Pittella. Why I took a leave of absence from reading this forum? well because I put too much blind faith in its surgeon list and went to the surgeon near me (about 4 hours drive) Glenn Charles and paid for a 2000 graft FUT that left a forked scar and practically no results. It left me thinking the forum was a scam site, no offense.. Alas Im back now and reading some great info and taking my time doing much more due diligence this time around.. that being said, I wouldnt go back to Dr. Charles even if it were free at this point. He was a nice guy for sure. but Im not sure why hes on the list here. Even the B&A's on his site arent that good at all, and the good ones are usually showing before any procedure and then after multiple procedures (with the afters being more favorably lighting conditions.) I dont have many pics on my phone of my personal B&A but i can dig up something if people would like.

one of the most impressive things about this result was the FUT scar.. man do I wish mine was that thin. Or better yet, i wish i discovered this forum before my transplants. im sitting here with 1cm linear scar

I recently went here for a consultation because it was Close by. Here are some of my red flags. They didnt have me meet with a surgeon, I met only with the director of sales. He was a nice enough guy but came off completely like a car salesman. He saw that I had two FUT procedures in the last 3 years and was stunned that theyre still doing FUTs as recent as 2019. He then said FUT has a fail rate of around 70 percent, and that their new 3rd generation version of neograft is 100% success rate of transferred hairs. Oh and before all this, perhaps the biggest red flag.. As I was sitting waiting for my consult, the sales guy and 2 other people who worked there were talking around the corner and were discussing whos creating incisions and whos doing other tasks, asking things like "have you done ___ before?".. I debated walking out after hearing that. These things costs thousands... we dont need that and just talking that openly in the office was careless.
