I just wanted to give an update on my search for a surgeon in the Philippines. I visited several doctors -- Peralta-Arambulo, Cacas, and Pineda. Based on the consultations, I ended up going with Dr. Andrew Pineda. He's a really nice guy and has been doing transplants for decades. Very experienced yet easy going.
He ended up doing a combo procedure, performing a strip surgery and an FUE in the same day. I showed up at 7am and left around 8:30pm. Netted close to 4,000 grafts (I was a Norwood V/VI...basically completely bald with very thin hairs left). He used roughly 3,000 on the top 2/3 of my head, and 1,000 on the crown.
The surgery was performed June 19 2015 and one year later I'm very happy with the results. I have hair again!
The crown is taking longer to fill in, but from what I understand that is to be expected. I'm happy to share my experience with anyone considering Dr. Pineda.
Hi I am looking for good hair transplant procedure in the Philippines. I am reading comments, since its pandemic . I want to be sure that I consult the highly recommended hair specialist in this forum. I am just curious if you really received 4000 grafts by FUE.I have consulted and researched, it was not possible in a single session. Can I see the results? The link that you sent is not working anymore.
