Awesome result mate !

Wow congratulations, Dr Pittella truly is a magician. I just wish i lived closer, it would have been a little more affordable for me. It is definetely worth it for people that can afford him, he would be my number 1 choice.

Thanks everyone. I know there are no guarantees with anyone. From what i can see Eugenix are also producing excellent results but based on everything i will go with Dr Laorwong. I can see that communication is the key, so i will organise a video chat.

@hdr13 Thank you that is very helpful. All the best to you too

Thank you for your input. He does have some impressive results. Did you have a ht with Dr Laorwong?

Ok, have you shortlisted, who is your preference ?

@Reina Thanks for your response. Did you have your ht with Dr Das? I did not actually think about it but Dr Das is not recommended on this forum, although there are some good results. I guess that's because of experience and Dr Das will probably be recommended one day. To be honest i am leaning more towards Dr Laorwong, but appreciate your input

@jjalay Yeah, i am leaning towards Dr Laorwong too. Have you had a ht and who was your doctor?

@BaldV, I checked a few of Dr Das cases including @GeneralNorwood just now. Another thing i realise is Dr Das is not recommneded by this forum whereas Dr Laorwong is and he seems to have more consistent results, just not sure with beard grafts on my scar and how will all that work out. @GeneralNorwood I know you are not happy but at least there is strong growth and density. My first fut 10 years ago resulted in probably 50% graft survival and a big scar. I think you will be fine with a second procedure in combination with beard/body hair. Think positive, could be much worse. Dr Pitella would be my first choice but i cannot afford him also considering the transport cost to get there.

Hi All, i have been doing a lot of reading here and i have shortlisted two docs, dr Das and dr Laorwong (criteria includes what i can afford and also location). I know its all individual preference but what would be your recommendations for a one off 4000 grafts session, for good density front, and a bit less for middle and crown. Also transplant 300-400 beard grafts to cover 5mm wide ear to ear scar from previous failed fut? Cheers

Dr Laorwong in Thailand confirmed that he also can do it. I am planning to go there mid next year.

@hdr13 Looking at his results Dr Laorwong seems like a good choice and good value for money. Did you end up booking in March or April? I am considering April.

Hi @george_nz_1, both @BurnieBurns and @Gatsby are giving you a good advice. I was a little younger than you when i had my first transplant in Australia, back in 2010. Even met with some patients of this surgeon and he seemed ok. I admit i should have researched more but at a time i did not feel safe to go overseas for a medical procedure. Anyway it was a painful lesson, both from a recovery point (now i have a big scar) and also i reckon only 50 % was a success. But look, it's still not the end of the world, I always beleived i can "correct" it one day. I just dealt with it, people have cancers, much bigger problems, you have to put everything into perspective. I was ok for about 10 years as my crown area was ok and i use toppik for the front making it look ok. I kept the back a bit longer so that the scar is not visible (lucky my donor area is still ok, the scar is 4-5mm thick in some spots). But now my crown area is bold and i started doing research again. And here i am. So i read a lot of posts and i am considering Dr Laorwong in Thailand. I know location should not be a deciding factor but for me it is as it adds to the cost. And transplant itself is not cheap these days even overseas. I am trying to find the best value for money and someone who can transplant hairs into my scar. So i will probably end up waiting a year or so to save some money. I also like Dr Pittela in Brasil, just purely because he is not recommending medication and still gets amazing results. I dont want to take anything as i had a reaction when i did, about 10 years ago. You also have eugenix in india, @Gatsby had an amazing result with them. I might also get a quote from them. Also thinking to go to Europe on a holiday in a couple of years so i might consult with some european drs provided that the price is ok. Ideally i would love to do it now, i just wish i started researching a year or two earlier as prices seem to have increased around 30% which sux. I guess as surgeons become popular and in demand then they increase their prices as most people would i guess. Everyone wants to make money Also inflation. But in some countries cost should definetely be less. Anyway there are a lot of posts here, my advice is to hit a search button and do a search for a particular recommended surgeon. Then shortlist and do more research. And whatever you do, choose FUE i.e no scar. That scar is a constant reminder and FUE these days is just as good. All the best

Yeah still early days, i hope you are happy with everything after 1 year. How much does Dr Bicer charge per graft ?

@hdr13what did you decide? How long do you have to wait with dr laorwong and what's his price per graft or you get a better price for 4000 grafts? Good luck anyhow !
