Awesome happy growing and thanks for the responses. He is 4 dollars a graft correct?

Don't remember exactly but I think it was subject in a previous post here. But it seems right. Anyway, you can contact the doctor here in the forum @Dr. Felipe Pittella

Awesome. Did he take as much as he could or did Dr P say you have more in case of touch up? All looks good. Does Dr do the entire procedure? 

Yes, I think he takes a number of grafts that's able to complete the empty spaces. But he also mentioned that there are still 3000 grafts approximately to use in the future if needed. 

He did almost everything, yes. 

Hey, 

Adding photos of the day 123 after the hair transplant, 4 months completed. 

Hello guys. 

Update photos of the day 90, completed 3 months after the hair transplant. 

Hello guys.

Usando apenas o tratamento padrão com minoxidil, shampoos e vitaminas?

I congratulate you on a successful operation! You have done a great job and deserve a quick recovery. I hope that in the future, there will be no complications and you will be able to enjoy your hair. I'm also planning to do a hair transplant, but I'm unsure which specialist to turn to.

Thank you very much! I wish you the best on your journey to find a good specialist. 

Day 34 after hair transplant (today). 

The folliculitis healed naturally, with warm water baths and the standard clinical treatment (clobetasol shampoo and ketonazole interleaved), as directed by the clinic. 

Update. 

Day 31 after hair transplant, note one folliculitis (pimple)

Day 20.

Boa evolução Pedro! Vamos fazer o melhor aí no pós operatório e vai ficar top os cabelinhos. Tmj.

@From Brazil Did you have to wait a long time to get a surgery date with Dr Pittella ?

Good luck for the growing! It will be awesome I'm sure.

Hi. Yes, a while, I had to wait since November 2021. Thanks! 🙌🏻

Photo updates. Day 7 post hair transplant.

Did you discuss this with him? I assume the reason if because of side effects? 

Yes, DHT has multiple roles in the body, reproductive system, brain, liver, CNS, bones, and so on. But yes, the main motivation was the side effects, many years before I met the doctor I had already decided never to inhibit DHT again because of my personal experience with the drug.

I have seen on this forum that dr pittella has 3 packages with different doctor involvement and different price on each one.
One package with the highest price and the highest doctor involvement (which is maybe the one you selected at 4 usd), one package with medium involvement of doctor and a third package with even less involvement of doctor which is the most budget option for someone who can’t afford the more expensive packages.

 

Was it a one day or two day procedure for the 6438 grafts ? 

 

 

Yes, highest involvement and one day procedure. 

Photo updates. Day 5 after ht.

Good luck and happy growing. Which package did you select ? Can you tell us which parts of the procedure dr pittella did by himself ?  Also what was the price per graft ? Thanks. 

Hi, thanks for the support. My package in the case was the highest. I think 4 usd per graft is the standard budget. I slept most of the procedure, as far as I understand the doctor is the one who personally performs the pre-incisions, extraction and part of the implantation, with the anesthesiologist and team present, with a nurse and instrumental techniques for follicle selection, counting and several functions related to surgery, including the placement of follicles with implanters.

@Dr. Felipe Pittella (hello doc, how are you?) can tell more details, if he has time to do it, of course, but I already see he commenting on the site.

How did your procedure go?

Hi Melvin, how are you?

It was fine, the doctor and all team are receptive and treated me very well. I am still in Linhares-ES, flying back to home today.

Let me add photos of my case for you all see.

Eager to see you post your journey. Dr. Pittella does excellent work.

Thanks Melvin. He does, indeed.

I came to know this forum in the interview you made with him, good work done with this platform, great to see. 

Hi guys, how are you?

I am from Rio Grande do Sul, in the south of Brazil, and I will be traveling to Linhares, Espírito Santo, in southeast, to perform my FUE hair transplant surgery with Dr. Felipe Pittella.

After much research, he was the professional who gave me the most confidence to achieve the goal of a good surgery and to do the best possible work with my case. He always publishes videos of patients from different angles, with wet hair and adequate lighting, this also provides good material for analysis. His profile on Instagram has already been posted here on the forum, but I quote again: @dr.felipepittella.

I will probably be appearing in his stories on 18/08/2022, next Thursday.

I intend to post the evolution of my case here on the blog, but for those who want to follow I will also keep records of the evolution on Instagram on the profile @transplante_fuebr

I hope to have a great result like countless previous patients of Dr. Pittella, I am very anxious but aware that the end of the process takes around a year after the procedure.

A hug to everyone.

P.s: Maybe I will post about the clinical treatment as well, if anyone is interested, and one thing that often brings attention to Dr. Felipe is that he does not prescribe finasteride or any other DHT inhibitor.
