Thank you very much for all the responses. This makes me feel a lot more confident in Dr Freitas design. @NARMAK how much cm is your hairline from the middle of your hairline to the glabella? @HairRunyour explanation makes a lot of sense. When I did draw freitas hairline and started analysing I felt that it would still be a huge improvement and will look age appropriate too. Dr Freitas did tell me that lowering it won’t look natural. I attached a picture but I don’t have much forehead wrinkles. My hairline to the middle of the eyebrow is 6cm

This is what Dr Freitas drew.. i wouldn’t say it’s 100% accurate but from what I remember it was a little conservative along these lines

Thanks for the eyebrow pencil tip! This is along the lines of something I would be very happy with. Let me know if you guys think it’s too aggressive?

Yh I definitely see the extension from the scalp to midscalp , really hoping that dutasteride will recover some of that or at least halt it completely. Yh I will discuss the hairline with him and maybe show some examples of what I want but in the end I will let him tell me what is best for me. Thanks man It's been stressful going through the research process and even now I am getting doubts but hopefully I have made the right choice!

I need to get a felt-tip so I can draw but sure I will do this when I can.

man I am so sorry to hear about this

I don’t know why Dr Freitas mentions midscalp but I’d like to think my midscalp is the healthiest part. Il post pictures of my situation. I don’t know maybe I am NW4?

Yeah that’s right mine is on 11th and 12th December.

Am really bummed out that I completely forgot to take a picture of the hairline he drew! I wanted it to be a bit more straight whereas He drew it with more curve Than I wanted.

Yh can you post clear photos with different angles. Am sorry to see you had poor growth, this concerns me going into a hair transplant but what age did you lose your temples or start to lose them?

YES so here it goes... Very sorry about the late response hopefully I will update in as much detail as I can.... I arrived 15 minutes early for my appointment and there were 2 other people also waiting, I bought 2 of my friends so I wasn't too nervous. The clinic is immaculate, pristine and very modern. The receptionist told me to fill out a form and I waited patiently for my turn. The dude next to me told me how this was the best clinic in Spain and that Dr Freitas only operates on you if he feels he can deliver a great result. He said his friend got a transplant with him a couple of years ago and it was great. This was very reassuring. Onto the appointment... I was a little bummed out to see he didn't speak English and it was the receptionist who was translating. I felt she did a good job translating but I did feel that gap in communication and it wasn't as free flowing as I would have liked. I would normally be a little worried by that but it's Dr Freitas and I trust his work and experience. He went through the process he does and what will entail in my operation, He checked my donor area and said it was good and we can work with it. He said he would do 2800 grafts maybe a bit more to the frontal hairline and midscalp. I insisted that I really wanted him to do my temples to which he had a look at my head and said we could do (yay!) He estimates a total of 3000 grafts. He drew my hairline which I must admit I personally wanted it to be more aggressive but he said this would be the most natural so I trust his judgement and will go with what he says but I will try to push him on the operation day! He said my scalp can be addressed next year, the focus for the first transplant will be my hairline and temples. Luckily for me I managed to secure a date of December 10th and 11th as they had a cancellation so It's not long to go! I am excited and nervous. Hopefully everything goes well... if anyone has any questions feel free to ask I am sure I have left some details out.

I started consulting back in March this year and it took them about 3 months to get back to me, I initially was told it would be in June 2023 and was later told they could do February 9th and 10th.

He does everything except the extraction which I am not worried about as he has an excellent team and his donor management is extremely good based on all the cases I have seen. I saw your thread man I hope the doubles don't take too much away from your end result, rooting for you bro!

He does 2 a day. I felt hesitant asking why he doesn't because the answer is probably along the lines of "it takes too long" and it was something I am not too worried about because if you look at all his patients I haven't seen a single case of bad donor management it has all been pristine and he told me in the consultation also that even after hair transplant you will be able to keep your back hair relatively short due to how the extraction is carried out. I completely forgot to ask him if he can predict donor capacity argh! I will be sure to do this when I see him again. He did tell me I have a "not bad" donor area and "something we can definitely work with" as I jokingly asked "is it really bad?" (I have fine hair). when he was sweeping through my donor area.

Namrak! Thanks bro. It’s 2800 grafts front and midscalp I believe. Crown is not being touched this year

HI guys I am going to be having an in person consultation with Dr Freitas on the 30th of September this week. My surgery will be on 9th (and 10th) of February 2023. I wanted to know what kind of questions are good to ask in consultation? I have a list of my own which I have created but just curious as to what you would ask and also If you had any questions for Dr Freitas I am happy to ask. P.S. I am a NW 2/3 and 27 years old.

Hang in there bro next 2 months will be great hopefully. This looks good for month 4.

Hang in there bro. I know you will have an amazing result 💪🏻

If you have a look at the Spanish forums there’s loads of freitas actual patient reviews

So sorry to hear about this... I hope you can find a good repair surgeon .. I think with the donor area you have you will be fine with a good repair surgeon, you are already in contact with one! goodluck bro I am rooting for you.

woooooooow Amazing man.

WOW. I can't wait for my surgery with Freitas your hair looks amazing man congrats and enjoy it!

That hairline is so natural it’s literally impossible to tell even for a hair transplant nerd. Amazing work 🙌

excited to follow Couto case. It's already looking promising at 3 months. I love Dr Couto's meticulous nature to evaluate future loss before operating on you especially in your case.

I switched to dutasteride after 1 year of finasteride and I have no side effects. Taking 0.5mg. Studies show very small increase in side effects between each drug at their recommended dose so chances are if you didn't have sides from finasteride you won't have sides from dutasteride.
