Did Dr. Pinto tell you anything about your hairs per graft ratio and your hair thickness/caliber? Any specific observations?

This is a claim I've seen repeated in hair loss fora the last few years, but I'm not aware of any scientific study that shows Iberian patients having superior hair quality compared to other European ethnic groups or compared to other Mediterranean populations. There are better and worse hair transplant candidates among any ethnic group, so if a certain surgeon is biased towards accepting candidates with good hair characteristics they can do that in any country. It's not like every balding guy with northern European ancestry has the same potential for a successful HT. Besides, Couto, Lorenzo, Freitas, Ferreira, Pinto, etc have been operating on non-Iberian patients for years now so I'd imagine if their results with non-Iberians were sub-par we'd have heard something by now, right?

Hello, do you happen to know what was the graft breakdown, i.e. how many 1s, 2s, 3s, etc the doctor used?

I believe it's 3.45 euros per graft

Congrats on your trasplant! Happy growth. Do you plan to post your case at some point? I'm booked with Dr. Pinto for October this year, eager to see as many patient experiences as I can Cheers

Just be careful, your grafts are probably in place by now but no need to risk it. And better avoid direct sun exposure for prolonged periods of time.

Excellent result so far, don't overthink it. My only nitpicking would be the lack of temple work. With ~500 grafts between the 2 temples you would have been golden. But it's fine, you can always do it later.

Happy to hear it's subsided! I know a lot of people buzz their hair very soon after a transplant with no problem, I'm just thinking it's best to avoid any type of additional stress if your scalp is already irritated.

Hello, hope the folliculitis subsides and you have a great result. But the first thing you should do IMO is stop shaving any part of the head, for the time being. (I know it's my first post here but felt like this needed to be said)
