Senior Member Levrais Posted November 16, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 16, 2012 @ Can't decide, thanks for the comments. The area you're talking about on the right side is where I had a swirl. I didn't ask the doc how many grafts were placed in each location but I wish I had. My fairly confident guess is that about 300 went into that area and about 1,000 in the crown overall. I agree that this area can make a big difference since it can be seen from the side. Have you set a date for your next op? @ Stinger, thanks. I have worn my hair as low as a 1 guard on the side and back but most of the time I go to a 2 and fade up as that is the style I like best. However, if I wanted to shave it to a zero it would look fine also (at least prior to this op anyway). As for the fue technique, I know several people with high numbers. It seems to work best broken down into smaller ops but otherwise not much difference imo. I didn't ask this time how many more grafts I have but I would imagine that I could get a few more if needed but probably just a few hundred. I also had a few beard hair fue and have plenty of those left if needed. I didn't ask about punch size this time, but I did during one of my prior ops and I think it was .75 or .80. He uses difference sizes for different things but generally they are small. 5700 FUE in 3 procedures with Dr. Bisanga View my patient website: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Cant decide Posted November 16, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted November 16, 2012 Thanks for the response. I have not set a date for my next op but most likely it will be next summer.

Senior Member chrisdav Posted November 16, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted November 16, 2012 Congratulations Levrais. I know you have had two successful surgeries from Dr Bisanga, and I am sure this will be exactly the same and the icing on the cake. Keep us posted. 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired.

Senior Member Levrais Posted November 17, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 17, 2012 Hi All, I have gotten a few questions about my donor area and white dots, etc. The first pic below is my donor shaved to zero 16 months after my second procedure i.e., after 4,000 fue. The picture following that is my donor prior to any procedure. Interestingly my virgin scalp has white dotting. Perhaps from acne as a teenager, who knows.

Senior Member Levrais Posted February 12, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 12, 2013 Mickey, Dr. Bisanga is quite easy to talk to and very personable. When I was consulting with him, he put me at ease very quickly and spent quite a bit of time discussing not just my goals but about the ht industry in general. 5700 FUE in 3 procedures with Dr. Bisanga View my patient website: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1874 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any interviews from him and his non-involvement with forums(I know his reps are involved) have made him a mythical figure almost. I'm a big fan of his work both FUE and FUT, it all seems very consummate from his extraction patterns to his intricate suturing.

No problem Stinger. I have actually emailed Dr. De Reys, but have not yet got a response. I will probably give the clinic a call. All going well I will be able to fit him in too. I will probably create a thread after that weekend, and document my thoughts on each consultation.

Senior Member JohnnyDrama Posted February 13, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2013 No I'm in Ireland. I'm just going over to Belgium for the weekend, purely for HT consultations! I'll probably end up getting in the range of 2,500 - 3,200 I'd imagine, going from patients cases with similar characteristics, but I'll have a much better idea after that trip.
