    Looking good. When did you have the procedure?
  2. toon_toon
    Update, please
  3. toon_toon
    Can you please give us an update?
  4. toon_toon
    Looks like a clean work. What is your connection to the doctor? Seems like you are close based on comments/posts made on Reddit, Facebook and here.
  5. toon_toon
    The next 2 months are probably the worst. Be patient. month 4-7 are the most exciting. Looking forward to those updates. Good luck 💪🤞

    I saw Konior really mess up a patients hairline recently. (Too dense and misangeled) And seems like he doesn’t take criticism about this too well
  7. toon_toon
    How is it going? Any update soon?

    If I were in your shoes, I would cancel Bicer and go for Ferreira. Absolutely no doubt. Don’t rush this. You have waited for so long, so 11 months extra shouldn’t be a stress. Ferreira is a top notch doctor, the A-league

    Hi @coffeeandpie Have you made up your mind yet? I see that you’re actually evaluating the same doctors as me, Pinto, Nader, Ferreira. In addition I have two more on my list, Pekiner and Laorwong. It’s a hard choice. I’m also a diffuse thinner, and I suppose the clue is to pick a doctor that suits the case.
  10. toon_toon
    You should consider Pekiner
  11. toon_toon
    Thank you for the kind reply. Yea, I have been lurking here for some while and will make my own thread next week. Will "tag" you in it

    I don’t even know what a paid shill is. But one thing that is evident, is that you don’t come up with facts when I’m politely ask, only personal attacks. You seem like a long time member with much knowledge. Please provide me with some facts instead of personal attacks. 🙏 I am really looking for the best surgeon for my situation. And I don’t really care if it is Pekiner, Pinto, Laorwong, Ferreira. I will in the future post my experience from my procedure, take my word for it.

    I am on this forum to find as much information possible for my future HT in late 2024/early 2025. Have not decided yet for the surgeon, but my list is now Pinto, Pekiner, Laorwong and Ferreira. (After consulting with all 4) If you or someone else can find some bad results from for example Laorwong, I would appreciate if you shared this info. Thank you Edit: And the feedback/ answers has to be based on examples and facts, not only: "I would not go to Turkey, India or Thailand for a transplant". The Geographical aspect doesn’t matter for me. The most important are the skills of the clinic/surgeon.

    I just came with examples from real life patients. Only thing I want is for other people to make their decisions based on facts. By the way: It seems like you could be paid by Yaman. Praising every result/ thread like he’s a God. I am by the way on this forum to find as much information possible for my future HT in late 2024/early 2025.

    Pinto and Pekiner, yes. Ferreira, no If you have a good team of techs, it is not negative to use techs. It actually saves time and the procedure can be done in a lesser amount of time. Pinto and Pekiner wants to do almost everything by themselves and produces great results, and other top docs get much help from skilled techs and also achieve top results.
  16. toon_toon
    Yes, I know that most of the surgeons use techs. It is a must, otherwise the docs would have suffered fatigue and the operations would take ages. But the top docs have top skilled techs, a team that is like a machinery Laorwong is not a " new" doctor. You can find results even back to 2016.
  17. toon_toon
    Mate, how I am sabotaging clinics? Just giving my honest feedback and back it up with documentation. like I said earlier, the 3 doctors are a much more safe option than other clinics and also affordable. Most results seem good, but there is easy to find results that are not top notch as well. Turan for example: many patients complain that he has slipped his standards here:
  18. toon_toon
    The VIP package thing is just nonsense. top reputed doctors shouldn’t have such options, because it just could give the impression of being the opposite. The 3 doctors are just fine, many great results out there, but also some results that are not top notch. If I were on a budget I would pick one of those 3 as first choice instead of going to a clinic where you don’t know who will be your doctor that given day. Yes, Pekiner is a top (world) class doctor, especially for lower Norwood cases. On cases over 3000 grafts, there will be a 3-day procedure. In my mind not necessary with a drilled team (2 days max) I’ve seen some people that have been to both Laorwong and Pekiner. They actually compared them as quite similar. Why is your opinion that Laorwong is not a top class surgeon? Can you please link up some examples? Edit: Just a quick search on this forum, I found some cases of Yaman that seem not too good. In this one for example, he should have split the operation in 2. First one to restore the front, and then 12 months later, further back (crown). Or if there was not enough available grafts he should not have proceed at all

    All the US docs are overrated and overpriced. Konior was maybe considered as one of the best many years ago, but things evolve. Can find many examples of that, and how bad he copes with negative feedback. When it comes to H&W there are so many "horror stories" about them. Some examples attached here, and there are many more. examples: https://www.reddit.com/r/HairTransplants/s/DS6PEeZWwN https://www.reddit.com/r/HairTransplants/s/BFi58OgyoH https://www.reddit.com/r/HairTransplants/s/BFi58OgyoH This one one of the worst post op I’ve ever seen (Rows) https://www.reddit.com/r/HairTransplants/s/gxMWNbUmDx And why is it a bad idea to go to Thailand for a HT, if you use one of the best in the game, like Dr. Path or Dr. Laorwong? Off course there are bad clinics in Thailand as well, but the same goes for other countries. You just need to pick your surgeon by quality and not get attached to a geographic mindset.

    That was interesting reading. Not good at all from Pekiner. About density: He likes to pack the grafts quite tight, so supposedly there will be more risk of shock loss, but most cases turn out top notch from what I’ve seen. Another thing taking into consideration is that he uses 3 days on a 3000 graft procedure. That’s way too long thinking about the anesthesia and the exhaustion for the patient. With a skilled and drilled team, 1 day would be enough. But anyway most people seem to don’t mind that.
  21. toon_toon
    Can you please link to a Laorwong job that has not been good or failed the last 3-4 years? He actually produces hairlines quite similar to Pekiner. (Dense, tight with micro irregularities) If you search Gur, Turan or Yaman at the hair loss conquerors you can find several negative results there. The fact that Gur offers different packages like VIP (pay more, and the doc will be more involved in the process), just gives me hairmill chills. They are undoubtedly more safe than hairmills, but not comparable to top docs like Pekiner, Pinto, Couto, Laorwong, Ferreira and this kind of league.
  22. toon_toon
    Laorwong and Pekiner makes tight hairlines, with micro irregularities (50-55 grafts/cm2) I would not consider De Freitas, as he makes the hairlines very straight and implants in rows
  23. toon_toon
    I assume grafts count. I have seen some "experts" in other forums (based on post op pictures) mentioning that he charges for more grafts than in reality are transplanted. I’m not an expert, so can’t assume anything about this. But his results speak for themselves. Clean work, dense packing and never seem to fail. Think I have only seen one case with some issues, but then he offered a free touch up. In the end it seemed that it was the patient that didn’t follow post op orders.
  24. toon_toon
    Can not compare Gur, Turan, Yaman with Laorwong. Laorwong is premier league, the other 3 championship at best
  25. toon_toon
    I would never choose H&W. Many poor results from them over the last years. Konior seems more safe than H&W, but 35.000USD (or whatever he charges) is just crazy. I have also studied many of his results, and I can’t say they are better than Laorwong. In a given scenario where price and location were the same, I would choose Laorwong any day.
