Regular Member Modenese Posted October 4, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted October 4, 2012 Just back from BHR clinic Megasession with Dr Bisanga in Brussels. Strip procedure as follows: Total grafts: 4889 1 Hair: 926 2 Hair: 2038 3 Hair: 1403 4 Hair: 522 Time in chair: About 10 hours. Overall experience: Very positive. I researched for some time before choosing, and at this time feel I made the right choice. My photo album is here, containing pre and post procedure photos I had a lot of grafts. I explained to Dr Bisanga that I didn't want to get a lot of procedures, but would prefer to get as much done in one sitting as possible as I basically just want to get back on with my life. Having the procedure causes too much disruption for me. Initially he said 3500-4000 grafts would be all that was possible, but on the day I was shown to have very good laxity and more was possible. I'll post pictures of the donor area in a few days once I've got someone to take the photos. Considering the length of the procedure I don't feel too bad, but I'm pretty tired. The post-op photos where taken about 18 hours after the procedure. 4800+ grafts, Dr Bisanga, Brussels, Oct 2012 My Photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member chrisdav Posted October 5, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted October 5, 2012 Congratulations Modenese. You picked an excellent surgeon and 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Modenese Posted October 5, 2012 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 5, 2012 Thanks for the comments guys. A couple of things to add: From the Photo Album I have pictures from Jan 2012 and Oct 2012 immediately pre-op. In the interval between the two sets of photos I started back on Finasteride. It looks like I gained a bit of density on the front in particular. Hard to say for sure without counting the hair though. I've got a lot of swelling. During the procedure the anaesthetic kept wearing off quickly (Dr Bisanga said I metabolised it quickly) and so had to have a lot of injections. Let me tell you, these hurt - a lot. As a consequence of this I now have a lot of swelling and look like a mekon (virtually unrecognisable). 4800+ grafts, Dr Bisanga, Brussels, Oct 2012 My Photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
