RobertoDeNiro

Almost a year ago, I made the most exciting decision of my life: to undergo a hair transplant!

I found in this forum the place where all my doubts, I had too many, found answers. I want to express my sincerest gratitude to all the forum members who have shared their stories and experiences about hair transplants. I hope that mine can also be useful to someone.

And what can I say right now about Dr. Couto that hasn't been said repeatedly already. He is not only the best hair transplant doctor in the world, but also a wonderful human being. Truly, you have to know him to understand the depth of his character and the passion that everyone comments goes beyond imagination. I love you Juan and your team too. You are idols to me.

My result exceeds all my expectations and those of my wife who is the one who sees the result the most. Now she can't stop touching my hair whenever she can.

And a message of encouragement, to those who are considering a hair transplant, I tell them with all my heart: go ahead! It's worth every second of doubt.

Thanks to everyone for being part of this incredible journey and for sharing this exciting chapter of my life.

Here are some photos about to turn a year since the operation!

@RobertoDeNiro may I ask how many hours did it take for the procedure each day of the 3 days for the 4000 grafts?
Also what did the doctor do: extractions and incisions and implanting? or just some of these operations, and the technicians did the rest?

I do not really recall exactly the hours in the OR but you will be spending the whole day at the clinic for sure. 

Dr Couto did all incisions and the complete frontal area.

Happy 2024, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone for your supportive comments.

I'm sharing some photos from just a few days ago, and I must say I'm genuinely thrilled.
I've noticed that my hair seems thicker than it was a month ago.

And more and more I find myself thinking about whether to go for the crown as soon as possible or if I should just wait  some years and save some money. It's going to be a challenging decision.

What an amazing result. Congratulations!

Incredible result. You look like a completely new person.

Seven months ago, I decided to take a step that would change my life forever: undergo a hair transplant.

This is what I looked like 7 months ago.

It may still be early since I just turned 7 months old and I am convinced that this will continue to improve but I need to thank you all, right now

It was a decision that filled me with uncertainty and expectations, but what I never imagined was that it would become an experience that would mark a before and after in my life.

On this exciting journey, I found the answers to all my doubts and questions in this Forum.
Today I want to once again express my sincere gratitude to all the forum members who shared their stories, experiences and opinions about their hair transplants.

But, without a doubt, the real hero of my hair story is Dr. Juan Couto, whom I consider the best doctor in the world in hair transplants. I doubt there is one like him. From the first day I walked through the door of his clinic, I could feel his passion and commitment to helping people like us who are looking to recover their hair and with it their lost self-confidence.

Dr. Couto is not only an expert in his field, but much more importantly, this doctor is an exceptional human being.

I cannot fail to mention the incredible team at FUExpert Clinic, whose tireless work makes it possible for patients' dreams to become reality. My current result at 7 months exceeds all my expectations, and I never imagined that something like this was possible. Thanks thanks.

From a distance, it is easy to doubt the authenticity of the world of hair transplants, but today I can say with certainty that it is a reality that has changed my life.

This procedure has not only transformed my physical appearance, but also my emotional life.
It has given me back my confidence, joy and desire to live. I feel like a completely renewed person, ready to face anything that comes my way every day.

To everyone considering a hair transplant, I say go ahead. The investment in your confidence and emotional well-being is worth every second of doubt.

Thank you all for being part of this journey and for sharing this exciting chapter of my life.

Here I leave you my current status after 7 months...

Hello, everyone.

Now, at six months and more than three weeks in, I'm sharing some photos with wet hair.
I truly enjoy the way I look with this hairstyle.
I never imagined I would enjoy this much looking at myself in the mirror.
Without a doubt, getting my hair back is brightening my mood.

And my donor area is as good as new. I think it will give me a chance to address the crown someday in the future.

Hey thanks for sharing your case!

I did my surgery with Couto just YESTERDAY! it took 2 days and yersterday we ended. It is looking very good for you being on month 6. I can see the difference from month 5 and Im sure that at month 10 and 12 you will be spectacular.

The wait worths!

Congratulations on choosing Dr Couto! I am sure you had a wonderful experience with him and the whole team, they are really lovely people.

I think you look more like old school deniro than he does now! When you say you wear no product, does it naturally grow how it looks in the pics? Great result anyway pal.

It does not grow like that, I use a comb to style it that way, since I love how I look with that backwards style.
Thanks for your words.

The design looks fantastic. It will be a wonderful result.

Here’s a photo I took of the crown, both outdoors and indoors. 
 

That crown is looking so good already.
I am thinking of going for mine next year.

 

Wow. This is an extraordinary case. Will be following along the way. 

Why did not Dr Pittella place grafts on the scar? 
And how many Beard grafts did he use and where did he place those beard grafts?

Congratulations on going for a repair. 

What a great transformation. Congratulations!

Looking really nice already. And you are still on month 5. Be patient "hair is coming".

You are looking amazing. And with that reinforcement you would get perfection.
 

I agree with these 3:
Couto
Konior
Hasson

New update by Dr. Bloxham:

 

If this gets confirmed, wow. Huge news for the Hair Transplant community.

Hello everyone.
I have finally reached the psychological moment of 6 months.
During these last few weeks my hair is feeling stronger and thicker.
I don't use products or hairsprays or gels, I wear it as it grows.

Hi RobertoDeNiro... I'll be getting surgery from Couto in 2 months.. and I need your advice. Would you please answer my thread? Looking forward to it.

 

Wow at 4 months and youre getting this growth fast already? Youre very lucky.

I just did posted on your thread. You will be in probably one of the best doctors of the moment.

@RobertoDeNiro these are excellent results for only five months. You have a lot of growth ahead of you! 👌💯

Looking forward to that whole growth. It´s difficult to be patient with this but hanging in there... thanks for your support.

Instead of lasering off the low hairline, you may be better off FUEing the grafts out so that you can transplant them further back. This will get you a few more useable grafts. There has been several cases posted on these forums of this being done and the scarring seems so minimal that it's not even noticeable.

 

 

Sorry to hear your story. Trying to find a solution I would try what @BeHappy is suggesting. 

Sorry to see that those 2500 grafts are not all coming out. 
Have you reached the clinic? What is their assessment? 

 

Looking very good except those areas. 
I would wait till the 12 months mark and then decide. It would be important trying to find out what happened there since the preop photos look perfect.

Congratulations on this choice. Dr Couto and his team are wonderful and you will feel like one of the family after 3 minutes in their clinic.

You have different accomodation services around from Hotels to vacation apartments. I stayed at a hotel around 12 min. walking distance from the clinic. You will find something for sure.

Just relax. Enjoy your visit to Madrid because is a lovely city. Dr Couto and his team will do their magic.

Ha ha ... is your wife funding your "crown" restoration! At least it seems she wants to see the best version of Robert De Niro... and it looks like you are on a great way to get there. For 5 months you looks fabulous.
