Once it’s healed you should get SMP. It will really help with density and you can hide the FUT scar.

Update??

Thanks - I’ve discussed the story of pricing a couple of posts back.

Thanks. Donor looks great - you wouldn’t notice I’ve had it done IMO and from comments I’ve had. the temple points look super natural and he’s used really fine blond hairs there that look perfect. He’s a true artist IMO. Hopefully the growth continues in the same vein and I will be alone happy customer.

I didn’t ask him no. I just made sure I was careful and used a guard on the clippers. It can’t do any harm - the reason he likes you to let it grow out is so he can track the progress but I need to look smart for work so am over grown head of hair that’s all different lengths is not going to work for me lol I will probably let it grow out at this point as it seems to be growing in nicely now.

Ok so I posted my 11 week results a few days ago but now I’ve shaved my head again so I wanted to post pictures for anyone who’s wondering what a HT looks like at the circa 3 month mark with a shaved head. Please bare in mind that I did have SMP around 18 months before my HT so that kind of helps the look of having a shaved head (increases the illusion of density). The growth of the new hair seems well under way at this point. I’m seeing improvements week on week. The temporal points in particular seem to have growth in fast.

You did well to get in with Dr couto. What was the price per graft and how long was the wait from consultation to operation?

I paid 2.5euro per graft but his prices went up to 3euro per graft pretty soon after I booked mine (I booked a year in advance). I rebooked for my beard transplant for December 2022 and paid 3euros per graft but I hear soon after I booked his prices may now have raised again be 3.5euros per graft. I guess I’ve been lucky booking well in advance and have managed to avoid some of the price increases by the skin of my teeth. I don’t know for sure, but I also heard he’s pretty snowed under with work and has stopped taking new bookings currently. His waiting list was around 12 months when I booked but he’s getting super popular now that a lot of his results have been publicised. He’s a Very good surgeon and I’m glad I managed to get in with him when I did.

Ok so after my last update I buzzed my hair all over down to a number 1. That was roughly 3 weeks ago so please see photos below of how things are looking today (Its now at week 11 post op). Definitely improving all the time and growing to the degree I would expect at this stage.

Fair enough. But if redness is still present then surely you should still be using it as per Dr’s advice?

Looks as it should do. I’m 10 weeks post op and still applying aloe Vera. I would continue for a while if I were you at least until redness is gone.

No. I source the HGH myself. I have found it very effective for anti ageing, skin and hair.

I’m not sure if the name. Alexandra booked it. It’s in the centre of Espinho so very convenient to get to.

Great result. A 2nd HT to strengthen areas would be ideal

I think you’ve had a really good result. I’m not sure what you were expecting but I suspect you had unrealistic expectations.

Thanks mate.

I heard De Freitas waiting list was huge?? What price point is he??

This is an absolute home run!!! The hair will thicken and mature up to 18months so your not at full development yet. Your def being way too picky if you don’t Think this is an epic result. I would avoid spraying the dry shampoo in one spot and combing it through your hair! Just give it a light spray all over!

That looks like top notch work there mate!! 2 weeks post op and you can hardly tell you’ve had anything done! I can’t see any redness if I’m honest but your lucky if it’s only minimal at this point because some people experience redness for month and months post op. Portugal and Spain really do have some of the best surgeons!

Looks good mate. Looking at your post op pics your HT looks way more than 1600 grafts! Maybe he miscalculated and you had a result lol

Yes I paid another 1k deposit for the beard transplant. Dr Ferreira only recommends using beard hair for beard transplants so it will be relocating beard hair from under the chin where it’s currently pretty thick to the cheeks where I have barely any. He said he would do around 1000 grafts but I’m hoping he can get a few more than that so it’s as thick as possible.

8 week update chaps. All going well and as expected at this stage. There is definitely some early growth there which you can see better if you zoom in but it’s obviously still very early stages. Had the odd pimple appear in the recipient area but nothing major. I thought I would post pictures now as I’m planning on running the clippers over it over the next few days to buzz cut it down to one length. I have booked up to go back out to see Dr Ferreira in December to get my beard done! At this time he will obviously check over my hair also and improve any areas which need attention. BTW Im still waiting for the clinic photos to come across but when they do I will post them here.

Great result. Did Dr Ferreira touch up any areas from the 1st HT when he carried out the 2nd HT??

Yeah I rekon you could be right. It shows up only in certain light.

I’m not using minodoxil. It’s more than likely the SMP I had done about 18 months ago. I wouldn’t say it looks blue though. Lol
