Nik_DP Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 All the guys in my family are bold to some extent on both my mother and fathers side, i started to experience hair loss very young at 23. It went very quickly in a space of about six months and soon it was all gone! Thankfully i managed to get a loan(ouch!) to finance the transplant..After much research i had two surgeons i liked, one in Amsterdam & one in Brazil, because of family connections, I decided to go to Brazil. I met with Dr Arthur the day after i arrived & found him very delightfully down to earth & and very friendly, he talked me through the nature of the surgery and showed me his technique of creating a natural look using the dimensions of the face combined with artistic interpretation. i had a few days till the op so decided to travel a bit, i went to Rio to relax for a few days..which was awesome btw On the day of the op i felt very relaxed there, it is very clean and fresh looking, great decor & artwork. In the sergury room there is a large wall window overlooking a very well kept garden filled with tropical flowers and a bannana tree. All the staff which were mostly women were very friendly! The procedure took the best part of the day but before i knew it, they finished. I spent a few days resting & after about a week, i decided to do some more traveling. All in all it was a great 'transplant holiday'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
