Senior Member Baldrick101 Posted September 16, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted September 16, 2017 I don't see much of a receding hairline in that pic. Maybe it's the light or the angle. Anyway Dr Bisanga has an excellent reputation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted September 17, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted September 17, 2017 Have you had a transplant before? He is a talented surgeon. I see no reason he wouldn't be a good option for you. I am an online representative for Dr. Raymond Konior who is an elite member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians.

Regular Member Hairhope4ever Posted September 17, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted September 17, 2017 I don't see why he would not be a good choice for you. Apart from your intuition, i strongly recommend for you to do as much due diligence as possible on the doctor, as well as the clinic. Some clinics even offer to meet past patients in person so that one can see the work up close and personal. That is about as much as you could do to alleviate your trepidation. Good luck, and keep us posted. About my hair loss journey: Happy Patient's Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member GRIGRIMAN Posted September 18, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted September 18, 2017 I had surgery with Dr Bisanga in 2013. I spent 2 years researching to make my decision. Best decision I ever made and I have booked my second surgery with him which is scheduled next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Sean Posted September 23, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2017 Dr Bisanga seems like a great surgeon imo. His work and ethics seem top notch. You do not seem to have much loss but if you are planning in filling it in, then up to 1500 grafts would be a safe start as long as you get good groupings of hairs based on your donor density imo. Could be less. I wouldnt go past that esp considering you have a lot of native hair. Did you get any recommendations from him? Best thing is to try to keep the surgery short so your grafts are not out of body for a long time. Try to meet some patients with similar loss and goals if you can. Best of luck.

Were all the grafts extracted in go from donor area or multiple session? just want to understand out of body time for the grafts. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Mountinvan Posted September 24, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted September 24, 2017 Sean is on to something. I think short is better. I had surgery in the US by a noted surgeon and I remember thinking I was out by midday. The result is terrific. uS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
