Couto is literally top, top tier. Guys incredible you are in very safe hands 👏🏻👏🏻

without meds it’s pointless, sorry bro

Pinto 💯

I order my dut from Oxford Online Pharmacy bro 

can’t say I’ve heard of this doctor before but his results look like somebody who knows what he’s doing, natural work 👏🏻

I imagine everybody’s head looks the same after FUE with zero fade…. 2 options if it bothers folk… grow out your donor to grade 2 or above or SMP the scars either way it’s to be expected, they are surgeons not magicians lol 

I’ve seen some really good SMP work to hide FUE scars.. don’t think it looks good at the recipient with long hair though

Newbie, first post, so please be kind and let me know if you see any issues with my post or comments.

Firstly, thank you all for such valuable information in the forums, gave me a great info to get started and shortlist.

I am considering between Dr. Bruno Ferreira, Dr. Bruno Pinto and Dr. Nader.

Hairloss - Diffuse thinning front and mid scalp, good donor and have been told by another good surgeon that I would need between 3000 - 3300 grafts. But he has too long a waiting list and is more expensive than I thought.

I see from the posts here and other forums that all three of them do really good work and genuinely care for the patient and the output. Cost wise Ferreira and Pinto are similar and Nader will be a bit cheaper if my estimates are right. But cost is not a concern. Waiting time for all three is a year after consultation.

Waiting for consultation with Ferreira and Pinto - will probably happen before the end of the year. Emailed Nader 3 times, no response so far.

Let me know what you guys think.

3 good choices, it’s nice to see you’ve taken time to do your research 👏🏻👏🏻

Ferundi is an artist 👏🏻👏🏻

This was the single worst decision I have ever made, both financially and in terms of attempting to improve myself. It has taken a long time to write this review - I got my procedure done here in March 2019 - but it has been a constant source of frustration & aggravation that stays with me to this day, and I feel dutiful in my need to warn ppl.

My hair loss was not all that bad when I went in, especially in hindsight. It was mostly receding at the temples, but I wanted to be proactive so it wasn't obvious I had a procedure in photos later in my life. I went into it thinking I would be able to keep this a secret. I also had very long hair at the time that I was precious about, & did not want to shave it all off. I searched around quite a bit but was ultimately lured here due to about a 10% better price than the competition + the no-shave FUE option. God, what a mistake, but a couple thousand dollars is still a lot of money to me, & the reviews of the doctor I had intended on seeing looked good, so I thought why not save a little? The before & after photos on the website were very convincing too, even for a smaller number of grafts. I ended up going with a 1200 graft no shave FUE at their suggestion.

 

 

A day prior to my procedure I was looking over the contract / literature etc & I noticed that my doctor was one I was unfamiliar with. I called them up & Carl who consulted with me proceeded to try and assuage my fears by telling me the guy was one of the best in the business etc. I asked where his profile was on the site if he was so highly regarded & he said give me a bit of time & I'll send you a link. A few hours later I got a link for another doctor's profile, Jon Gaffney, who wasn't linked from their front page. My research showed me he was very seasoned, 30+ years, but that was also a tell for me. Turned out he was in his mid 70s. I don't care how decorated a person is, at that age, you can not convice me you're at the physical & mental capacity of your younger or even middle age, let alone with hand dexterity. I shouldve listened to my gut at this point, but with the procedure being so close I decided to go with it. Dr Gaffney was nice enough, but he also had the demeanor of a man who had been going through the motions for many years.

They numbed me up, he made a lot of incisions on my head, & that was that for him. The actual harvesting and insertion of grafts was done by a small team of employees.

I was optimistic about everything til a couple months later when the grafts started to sprout.

So if you have long male hair, you can't have bangs since it's too long, & the weight of it pulls the rest of your hair sideways or backwards so that your hairline is always exposed. So what happens when things start growing? Well, hair literally just starts sprouting on your forehead. Very unnatural to see occur & impossible to hide! At that point, I started shaving that area because what else was I supposed to do, until finally realizing I had no choice but to cut all my hair off in order to get some bangs to cover this area. I have included photos of what it looked like around this time. In cutting it short I also made another discovery. They had extracted the hair in small strips like an FUT, & I had three very visible scar-like areas when the reason for doing an FUE was in order to prevent that!

 

So the no-shave aspect only served to delay the inevitable cutting of my hair, which was definitely not something they mentioned, & the FUE has made it impossible to wear it shaved in the back without it looking like the back of my head got swiped by a bear claw. And then the truly depressing part: the hair in front was so patchy & scattershot it just looked like a mess. There was no density, and a noticeable gap between where the hairs started growing & my real hairline was. In short, it looked terrible, & when I came in for the 9 month follow up, both the doctor and consultant were like "...so you're not satisfied?" Do you have eyes?!? It looked like someone glued pubes to my freakin forehead. At this point, they offered to do another procedure for the same amount to try and improve it. Yeah, thanks but no thanks guys. The mere fact that they would even attempt to pretend that it looked decent was insulting. Trust shattered, I spent the next couple of years always having bangs down and wearing hats to hide the mess they created. It took me years to save up to get someone to repair it, & the doctors I saw following up remarked that many grafts had been put in the wrong way & that it was possible they were using unlicensed medical assistants for the procedure. I have included many different photos to give you a sense. It has taken at least $20000 more dollars to make me look presentable again, and I still will never be able to wear my hair high and tight without the scars being visible. Do not fall for this trap, they are all about volume and making that sale. Spend a little bit more and get someone to do it right the first time. No amount of hospitality during the procedure can make up for terrible results.

this is so sad man, I wish stuff like this didn’t happen in the transplant industry! it’s riddled with life ruining hair-mills & sub par money grabbing low life’s. I hope you have somewhat gained some normality back 💙

I was recommended dutasteride 3 x a week & minoxidil 2.5 daily 

Why don’t you try lower the frequency? Say 3 times a week, M W F?

@Melvin- Moderatorwhen is @DrMunibAhmad on your podcast?

would love to see this, not just a great surgeon, good personality too 👏🏻

both top tier, elite surgeons ☑️

The method isn’t half as important as the doctor doing the surgery 

Definitely one of the better DRs in the UK 👏🏻👏🏻

go look at @DrMunibAhmad work & tell me hair transplants can’t look totally natural 🔥

Yes, Yes & Yes again! Very easy decision imo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi everyone

Currently assessing this surgeons work and I need advice. I'm sure some of us are aware most of his reviews come from people who write a review then leave, they don't seem organic at all. 

 

This I do not mind - this is to be expected of someone 'new' to the industry to get their name out there

 

What I am more interested in is how you guys view the quality of his work? Is it up to a good standard?

 

https://mittalhairclinic.com/before-and-after/

 

Some of his hairlines seem like they went conservative and others not so conservative so not sure what he bases this on. Also cannot find a single negative review for him, the only one I found was deleted

 

Furthermore in some pictures he doesn't really show the edges of the hairline like the one I've attached below [from his Instagram]

 

Just wondering what you all think of his work and if he is a risk or not?

 

Mainly asking this to gauge feedback as I am very aware on other discussion forums there are some accounts that seem to always just recommend him and only reply to topics referring to him which don't seem organic but again I understand the reason.

 

 

He seems like one of the better ones from the UK, granted there isn’t many over here
