Triple Nine

I can't send any DM's, maybe because my acct is new. I'll post them on here. First email: Buen dia,Actualmente resido en (fill in where you live). Quisiera saber la posibilidad de tener una consulta con el Dr Juan Couto para coordinar un transplante capilar en Madrid. Sera posible coordinar un turno asi viajo para alla?Muchas gracias por su atencion, (Sign your name) Then they replied with an attached form to fill out, including my pictures, name, age, etc. Hope this helps!

This was three months ago. Sure, i'll DM you the email.

Lol. Thats true though. I introduced myself on the first email I sent and was very kind to the team from the start, maybe that helped. When they replied they sent me a form to fill out and told me to send pictures, which I did the very next day. They then told me that the wait time was long and that I needed to wait, to which I showed my disappointment and kindly asked them to tell me whenever a spot cleared. As soon as it did they sent me an email and luckily it wasn't that long

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to my post with amazing detail. I think I did my research but the more you dig the more you find, it's a great journey. I will keep you updated! I just payed my first deposit to the clinic

Hey Big Rome. I sent an email in June and got a consult for September 1st. I thought it was weird since I've read that his waiting times are very very long. I just payed my first deposit for my procedure to be September 2023! I'll be sharing my results and updates when I get there

Thanks Jo!

Hey. It was a virtual consultation, we're going to draw the hairline design options next year. I am really looking forward to it. Thanks for your feedback

Hey! Thanks for sharing. Couto suggested 3000 grafts

Thanks! I've seen your HT journey. Looking good!

Hey guys. Im a 26 year old argentine with a receding hairline. I've been reading this entire forum now for quite a while. My research goes back a few years now, i've been looking at patient result, reviews and insights about top notch surgeons and clinics available. As many of you can relate, when I first started doing my research I immediately went out to research Turkey, but found out what most of you all know about Turkey and the scandalous amounts of unexperienced people who put on a pair of gloves and play doctor. I'm sure there are great surgeons over there but I decided to slow down and do my research elsewhere, to avoid risks. I then moved to argentine clinics (due to proximity), but I couldn't find any outstanding work that would make me even book an appointment, not even the best of the best results. Also, i've called a few clinics and most of them wanted to perform HT two weeks from my consultation, without regarding the fact of if I was taking Finasteride or not. Didn't even recommend it so it raised a few flags for me so I kept looking. I then researched American doctors, I read about Shapiro, Bernstein and a few others but I couldn't find what I was looking for, though I didn't book a consult with neither of them. I did see Konior but I didn't see a case where the quality would justify the cost; I may be wrong though, just my personal opinion and research. I finally moved on to EU and found a few good doctors in Spain like Freitas, Prieto, Lorenzo and Couto. Out of them all I booked a consult with Couto. I had my appointment a few weeks ago, I'm supposed to make my first deposit this week. I've been having second guesses because I didn't get the very best impression out of the clinics employee who picks up the phone, however when I had my appointment with Dr Couto he reassured me of my second thoughts and took an hour and a half to talk with me and answer all of my questions. I am trying to pay though and get a response every other day, which is taking a while but I guess keeping up with all of the consults can't be an easy task anyway. Of the few patient reviews and the cases published on their Instagram, I love what I saw, though I did recently see that one of his patients had very low density on his hairline, but the Dr did offer a free "touch up" and I'm still waiting for the patient to post the final result. I also think that we are all human and I can't see one bad case as him being a bad Dr. I still consider him to be the best, especially because of the time he puts into patients and his work ethics, but I often do get blinded by the fact of reading so many good reviews about him and thats why im referring to you guys for an extra opinion. I read some spanish forums and they all regard him as the BEST of the BEST, not a single one has a bad thing to say. Dr Couto recommended 3000 FUE grafts implanted onto my new hairline design to restore temples and bring my hairline back to where it should be. I was prescribed Finasteride 1mg until September 2023 which is when my appointment should be. Any how, I had some questions for you guys regarding my case: 1) After looking at my pictures, what doctor would you say would be the best case scenario for me? I wouldn't mind price, I want to get the best of the best when it comes to my face as I get media attention. 2) Why can't I find many patient reviews about Dr Couto? Is it because patients get the best results coming out of the clinic and don't even bother posting their cases? At first I thought maybe he didn't get a whole bunch of patients so there weren't many posting his work, but he is booked for the next 1/2 years so I scratched that off. 3) Is smoking as bad as I've read about?
