Oh yeah? How is the cost vs Pitella? Is Dr Sever as good with high Norwoods as Pitella, as far as results?

And do you know if they do (and are good) at beard transplants as well if my donor is sort of low?

I too am a Norwood 6/7. Is Hattigen Hair a great clinic for advanced cases like that? Has anyone on this forum had any experiences with them?

I have a question here about beard transplant related scarring. If Pitella used all of your beard hair, are you left with a ton of tiny pock marked scars on your face? I am usually clean shaven, and prefer it...but would I look like I used to have a lot of bad acne? My skin leans more toward an olive tone (Italian/German)...not pale...so I'm not sure if that help or hurts for a beard transplant. Any thoughts?

Got it. And would you say anyone in the US even comes close for high Norwoods? Who is at least the US's #1 for that?

Is Dr. Wesley considered a top guy for high Norwood cases? On the level of Pittella? I'm awaiting a consultation with Dr. Pittella, but still would prefer to stay in the US if possible.

Please keep updating. I'm rooting for you and a great result. I also just recently reached out to Dr. Pittela and am waiting for a consultation date. How long was it from your consultation till your actual surgery?

That's interesting about body hair having a different anagen life than scalp hair; and anagen desynchonization. Can you explain what that is exactly -- as in what that experience is and how often it happens? Does it also happen with beard hair?

True, but as severe as your case was - your hair now looks solid…and I think it gives so many of us hope that perhaps anyone can be helped.

Any update on this?

Hi, all... For high Norwood cases with low donor.... Who do you think is the better surgeon, that yields better results? Pitella or Zarev? And is Pitella's wait list as long as Zarev's? One difference I know of, is that Pitella offers virtual consultations.

Hi, all --- Thanks in advance for everyone here. I've posted before, but having trouble getting clarity. I'm a Norwood 6 with low scalp donor due to two previous HT. I have some left though, as well as beard and body. I know Pitella and others overseas are great for this -- but can anyone tell me the top 3-5 in the US that are best at advanced cases?

Amazing. Thank you for sharing. How long did you have to wait to get your surgery? Was traveling to Brazil and Pitella's office easy, or have issues?
