  1. Hello from Bogota Colombia! Below are 12 months hair transplant results of our 37 years old patient from the USA. This is A great example of a case where it is advised to take the conservative approach with hairline design where the area to cover is fairly large. We limit surgery to around 3000 grafts per session so the idea was to distribute the grafts in A way that density won't be sacrificed. As much as it is tempting to opt for a hairline that is low and straight, in some cases such as this one it is not a good idea. A lower hairline means more valuable donor to be used. Donor that could be more beneficial down the line should the hair loss will progress. Also, it is important to take into account that the hairline should be natural and age appropriate for the long run. A low and straight hairline when one is 60 y/o could not look right and could "Scream" Hair Transplant. Dr Pareja with the assistance of dr Carranza found the sweet spot between hairline design and density which allowed this satisfying outcome. The patient also wanted to improve some density in the crown which was possible to achieve due less grafts placed in the hairline. The patient is committed with both Finasteride and minoxidil daily which we believe was a a great boost for the final result. *Result photos are patient submitted The surgery was led by Dr Paola Pareja with The assistance of Dr Gina Carranza Total number of FU : 3024 with the breakdown of 1 hair 501 2 hair 2256 3 hair 267 Method : FUE Extraction: Mamba Trivellini Motorized device 0.85mm Edge out Performed by Dr Paola Pareja Dr Gina Carranza Pre made incisions: Performed by Dr Paola Pareja , size range 0.8mm for thick 1 hair grafts and 0.9mm 20G for the multiples.

  3. Hello from Bogota Colombia! Below are 12 months hair transplant results of our 33 Years old patient from USA. The surgery's Objective was to recreate the hairline and to cover as much as possible towards the mid scalp and crown. The patient is consuming 1mg finasteride daily as well as 1.25mg oral minoxidil daily which we believe contributed tremendously to the hair fiber getting thicker. *Result photos are patient submitted The surgery was led by Dr Sergio Camacho with The assistance of Dr Gina Carranza Total number of FU : 3047 with the breakdown of 1 hair 673 2 hair 2060 3 hair 314 Method : FUE Extraction: Mamba Trivellini Motorized device 0.85mm Edge out Performed by Dr Gina Carranza Pre made incisions: Performed by Dr Sergio Camacho, size range 0.8mm for thick 1 hair grafts and 0.9mm 20G for the multiples.

  4. Strictly no. The donor area is examined carefully before surgery to rule out areas that are prone for thinning and miniaturization. it could look like that in the post op photo as the scalp is very swollen from the anesthesia liquids.
  5. Hello from Bogota Colombia! Below are 12 months hair transplant results of our 27 Years old patient from USA. The surgery's Objective was to fill in the recessions and improve some density mid scalp while being cautious with the existing hairs in that area. Per Dr Camacho's protocol, normally the highest amount of grafts the doctor will perform in one session is 3000 grafts, however in this particular case both extraction and implantation went smoothly with no risk of going over the daily anestesia limit which allowed a higher amount of grafts to be performed for more density. The outcome of the surgery deemed successful. The patient is committed to 1mg finasteride daily. *Result photos are patient submitted The surgery was led by Dr Sergio Camacho with The assistance of Dr Gina Carranza Total number of FU : 3255 with the breakdown of 1 hair 730 2 hair 2200 3 hair 325 Method : FUE Extraction: Mamba Trivellini Motorized device 0.85mm Edge out Performed by Dr Gina Carranza Pre made incisions: Performed by Dr Sergio Camacho, size range 0.8mm for thick 1 hair grafts and 0.9mm 20G for the multiples.

  7. Hello from Bogota Colombia! Below are 11 months hair transplant results of our 25 Years old patient from USA. The surgery's objective was to focus mostly on the front half of the scalp which was thinning in a diffuse pattern. In a case like that there are a lot of fine miniaturized hairs and it is important to be cautious with placing grafts not to damage those hairs that could benefit from meds. As the patient is relatively young, the doctor suggested to be responsible with donor area management and not overuse valuable donor hair to dense pack or for a low/straight hairline. The idea was to get the best result possible with minimum use of grafts. Although the patient has been using finasteride and minoxidil, it is best to take that responsible approach due to the young age and progressed hair loss level that my worsen down the line *Result photos are patient submitted The surgery was led by Dr Sergio Camacho with The assistance of Dr Paola Pareja Total number of FU : 2761 with the breakdown of 1 hair 667 2 hair 1478 3 hair 616 Method : FUE Extraction: Mamba Trivellini Motorized device 0.85mm Edge out Performed by Dr Paola Pareja Pre made incisions: Performed by Dr Sergio Camacho, size range 0.8mm for thick 1 hair grafts and 0.9mm 20G for the multiples.

  10. Dear members of the community and Bogota Hairlines patientsWe took the time to review this thread and some of the concerns thoroughly. We want to address and clarify some of the issues.Before we individually address each participant or concern, we would like to give the community a summary of our approach at Bogota Hairlines.Dr. Camacho has been performing hair transplant surgeries for nearly 20 years (2004) and has a proven track record (Final Results) which is presented both in our platform and organically on other platforms like this patient-based community, closed online groups, and social media, all by patients who shared their monthly progress up to 12-months. Those final results, presented over a long period, eventually led Dr. Camacho to be endorsed by the Hair Transplant Network and established him to be in line with the elite doctors of this network which, to our understanding, is a significant factor in many patients' research.We do our best to communicate effectively with our patients before and after surgery. However, we know miscommunications can occur. We take full accountability and will make sure to improve in that aspect. We see this as a learning opportunity for everyone, so we would like to thank everyone here that has presented constructive criticisms so we can improve.To prevent miscommunication, which can be very frustrating, especially to people who come out of Colombia, we have all of our remote consultations documented in writing (mainly WhatsApp), where we lay out a suggested treatment plan and answer in detail every question a patient presents. Some details like exact graft count, hair per square centimeter, and hairline design are complex and sometimes only possible to determine accurately by seeing a patient in person.Therefore, we always state beforehand that the final decision will be made only after a hands-on evaluation at the clinic. This is implemented as a disclaimer in the invoice each patient receives before committing, to ensure we thoroughly advise patients that virtual estimates are only approximated and are subject to change in person. We apologize if this still misunderstood. We encourage prospective patients who base their decision on a virtual consultation to ask as many questions as needed and only commit if they can trust Dr. Camacho and the Bogota Hairlines team. This will minimize the physiological challenge and potential buyer's remorse that patients occasionally experience shortly after surgery.We want to clarify that Johnny from the clinic is not just a "marketing guy." Johnny is a senior team member and serves as a head consultant to the doctor. He consults most of our patients throughout the surgery process and has done so for many years. While Doctor Camacho values his input, Dr. Camacho decides how to execute a surgical plan.@mrthirsty graft count strategy, there were a lot of comments made by members, including @Melvin- Moderator, which reinforce what we told you both at the clinic and via WhatsApp. When we execute a surgical plan, we ensure that our plan will look good today and for years to come.We can't provide an exact percentage of who does what and the percentages of each doctor's time in every step. Still, we can tell you Dr. Camacho was physically involved in each step, including the extractions at different points. The other doctor involved in the extraction and implantation was Dr. Pareja, who is involved in every procedure at our clinic.We want to clarify some points. Three patients were not receiving surgery at the same time. Patients come daily for head washes post-surgery, PRP treatments, and SMP in one of the three available rooms. We perform 1-2 surgeries per day (1 per doctor).Regarding the HIV/Hep test, yes, we do our rapid test at the clinic according to surgery protocol. Still, we ask our patients to come prepared in advance to avoid any inconvenience when they arrive at the clinic.@Bobby212We understand you were surprised with the number of grafts evaluated for you and didn't think it was justified.We estimated that you required between 2600-3000 grafts during our initial planning. As previously stated, we implement a disclaimer to advise our patients that estimates are subject to change upon physical examination. Unfortunately, sometimes this may not be as clear as we hope. A conservative hairline was drawn upon physical examination, which required 2,600 grafts. However, you requested a revision to the initial hairline, which required more grafts. Those revisions require more grafts, bringing it to the higher range of the written quote you got in advance. We are saddened that Dr. Camacho's ethics have been questioned. We aim to provide patients with optimal results, and the patient's goals and objectives may require more grafts. Money has nothing to do with this.There were comments about placing grafts in areas with full density. We must transplant grafts in transitionary zones to ensure the results look good for years to come. These areas are vulnerable and susceptible to thinning. If we do not address these areas, there will be a visible disconnect in the future, which would fall directly on us. Be assured we do this for the benefit of our patients.As a general rule, Dr. Camacho is involved in every stage of the surgery, including the extraction, to some extent. Sometimes more and sometimes less. It's a case-by-case and on-site decision. In your case, the number of grafts was large, and Dr. Pareja's extractions were exceptional. Dr. Camacho decided to preserve his energy for the implantation. Again we are going to clarify it better in the future. The implantation was done as stated by both doctors. No surgery in our clinic is done by one surgeon alone. Surgeons lead specific packages, but the team is always involved in every step.We want to add that your surgery is noted to us as one of the most exciting ones we have had, and we are looking forward to seeing your final requests. We expect it to be incredible and hope you can share it here.@EHZ, thanks for your feedbackWe also understand after seeing a vast majority of good reviews on Dr. Camacho and then reading this post only a few days before surgery made you feel nervous and second doubt your decision.All of this was considered after you sat in length with the doctor before surgery, and he advised you only to do the surgery if you're confident in our ability. If someone is not entirely confident with this decision, we don't want them to do it.We gave you time to decide and offered to refund your deposit. Your final decision was to go through with the surgery.We appreciate how detailed you laid out the surgery process as you experienced it, including the equipment used and the entire process.We appreciate the honest and open discussion. This will help future patients that have questions about the process. We are confident that both of you will be satisfied by the end of 12 months. But even if you are not, rest assured that we will stand by our work and support you however we can.Dr. Camacho and the Bogota Hairlines Team
  11. Hello from Bogota, Colombia! A great example of the effectiveness of a hair transplant when combined with SMP (Scalp Micropigmentation) Our 31 years old patient from Puerto Rico had previous SMP which was fading and started to look unnatural Dr Camacho's plan was to transplant 3000 grafts (Max session) to recreate the hairline and improve density all over the rest of the scalp. The final results show great illusion of density without using up the entire donor area. *Result photos are patient submitted The surgery was led by Dr Sergio Camacho with The assistance of Dr Paola Pareja Total number of FU : 3000 with the breakdown of 1 hair 600 2 hair 1400 3 hair 1000 Method : FUE Extraction: Mamba Trivellini Motorized device 0.9mm and 0.95mm Edge out Performed by Dr Paola Pareja Pre made incisions: Performed by Dr Sergio Camacho, size range 0.8mm for thick 1 hair grafts and 0.9mm 20G for the multiples.

  12. Hello from Bogota, Colombia! Below are 12 months hair transplant results of our 33 Years old asian patient from Canada. The patient is not able to use neither finasteride or minoxidil so Dr Camacho chose the conservative approach without changing the hairline shape and to only follow the current one so more grafts are available to place all over the mid scalp. This allowed to create a great illusion of density while preserving valuable donor hair for the future should the patient will keep losing hair. *Result photos are patient submitted The surgery was led by Dr Sergio Camacho with The assistance of Dr Paola Pareja Total number of FU : 2820 with the breakdown of 1 hair 600 2 hair 2000 3 hair 220 Method : FUE Extraction: Mamba Trivellini Motorized device 0.95mm Edge out Performed by Dr Paola Pareja Pre made incisions: Performed by Dr Sergio Camacho, size range 0.8mm for thick 1 hair grafts and 0.9mm 20G for the multiples.

  13. Hello from Bogota, Colombia! Below are 12 months hair transplant results of our 45 Years old patient from USA. The patient was wearing a hair system and chose us to help him get rid of it. Dr Camacho's plan was to perform surgery over 2 consecutive days working from the frontal part towards the crown. The donor area is recovered incredibly and has more reserve for even further density improvement The patient is committed both to Minoxidil and finasteride daily which contributed to this natural looking outcome. *Result photos are patient submitted The surgery was led by Dr Sergio Camacho with The assistance of Dr Paola Pareja Total number of FU : 4156 with the breakdown of 1 hair 1215 2 hair 2016 3 hair 925 Method : FUE Extraction: Mamba Trivellini Motorized device 0.9mm and 0.95mm Edge out Performed by Dr Paola Pareja Pre made incisions: Performed by Dr Sergio Camacho, size range 0.8mm for thick 1 hair grafts and 0.9mm 20G for the multiples.

  14. Hello from Bogota Colombia!! Below are 10.5 months hair transplant results of our 32 Years old patient from USA. The surgery's objective was to fill in the hairline and improve mid scalp/Crown area while staying cautious with the miniaturized hairs the patient still had which evidently improved by committing to both Minoxidil and Finasteride. Using Minoxidil in particular can be a game changer for patients who still have fine hairs and can eventually reduce the amount of grafts that is needed to achieve a good result. This patient's outcome is a great testimate for that. *Result photos are patient submitted. The surgery was led by Dr Sergio Camacho with The assistance of Dr Paola Pareja Total number of FU : 2406 with the breakdown of 1 hair 650 2 hair 1206 3 hair 550 Method : FUE Extraction: Mamba Trivellini Motorized device 0.9mm Edge out Performed by Dr Paola Pareja Pre made incisions: Performed by Dr Sergio Camacho, size range 0.8mm for thick 1 hair grafts and 0.9mm 20G for the multiples.
