colombia FUE Surgeons in COLOMBIA

[bramoncada]

Hi Guys! 

So I am a patient of Dr. Koniors and I recently moved to Medellin (I'm a dual citizen). Needless to say QUALITY is something that I don't skimp on (hence my choice in Dr. Konior). The only surgeon "close" by that has a vast amount of credibility is Dr. Nader in Mexico, however that isn't quite even in the area (or continent). 

There are no really solid threads on trusted FUE surgeons in Colombia so I wanted to start a conversation about who has had first hand experience with RESEARCH and RECEIVING AN ACTUAL TRANSPLANT in Colombia. 

After doing some research these are the names I've come up with: 

 

Bogota: 

Rene Rodriguez Medical - https://2rmd.com

This guy has a ton of content with artists to the average joe, youtube videos, and a flawless rating in just about every social media platform.

Medellin: 

Dr. Hector Garcia - http://implantecapilar.com.co/secciones-85-s/dr-hctor-garca.htm

This surgeon appears to be very professional without a whole lot of gaudy success stories or youtube videos (there are some that offer success stories). I wish there was more evidence of success stories, as this type of surgeon who specializes in FUE and isn't real big on advertising always appeals to me. 

Cali: 

Dr. Reina - https://www.transplantesdecabellocolombia.com/calvicie-implante-capilar/

I've come across this woman in my research and she has a lot of good content with her at conferences in the United States, with some images of results on her page. I noticed she does FUT (strip) so not sure if thats a red flag or not, but she appears to be a true hair restoration specialist. 

Dr. Carlos Triana - https://www.crecehaircenter.com/trasplante-capilar.html

This guy belongs to the American Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (is that credential enough?) that I can't say for sure. He has his own brand of hair care products "Crece" and appears to be dedicated to the craft. 

 

PLEASE KEEP THE CONVERSATION ON TOPIC AND LETS SEE IF WE CAN CONFIRM OUR GO TO HAIR TRANSPLANT SURGEON IN COLOMBIA.

UPDATE: I just got done with a consultation with DR. HECTOR GARCIA. The cost for the consultation came out to be $20.00, however he told me to forget about it as the ATM wasn't working and they didn't accept cards. 

I was told during my consultation that I have very poor (looking) donor area, and that my previous surgeries with Dr. Konior likely took my best grafts. It seemed like Dr. Garcia has a bleak outlook on how successful we can be moving forward with my hair transplants. I DID APPRECIATE THE HONESTY AND A GOOD SIGN HE'S NOT JUST TRYING TO GET GET A QUICK BUCK. 

He suggested around 1000 grafts and then I was provided a quote of around $4,200 USD. I thought the quote had been a mistake as I know NOBODY in Colombia is paying that much money for 1000 grafts, but it was correct. I sent a message to inquire as to why I was being charged that and I was told because my donor area was difficult to extract from and was going to take careful attention.... 

 

SUMMARY: I think Dr. Garcia is likely a good surgeon, however I think he tried to give me "gringo" pricing which I didn't much appreciate as I'm Colombian and know better. 

 

STAY TUNED FOR MY OTHER CONSULTATIONS!

Thanks for your comprehensive post. Do you live in South America? Have you consulted with Dr. Tykocinski of Brazil?

[bramoncada]

Yes, I live in Colombia, so I specifically designed this thread for Hair Transplant surgeons in Colombia.                     UPDATE: I spoke with Dr. Juan David Londono in MEDELLIN who appears to have a decent amount of success with hair transplants and has very good reviews. (Side Note: He also handles other plastic surgeries like most Colombian hair transplant surgeons). His secretary stated via WhatsApp that his consultations cost $50.00 USD..... I told them, that I didn't feel comfortable paying for someone that I wouldn't be sure I'd be choosing and they let me walk away without receiving a consultation. I may in the end pay $50.00 for the consultation, however it left a really bad impression for me that they were so insistent on such a high cost for a consultation and were willing to sacrifice my business over it (considering he has no reputation for HT which would justify anybody paying that).

Hi Bromancada,

I'm glad I came across your post.  Whats was the final out come and decision you made?

I'm traveling to Medellin and will consult with Dr Juan Carlos Escobar at Hero Institute.  Do you have any intel on his quality of work?  I was quoted 22 million colombian pesos for 1600-2200 grats for FUE transplants using Artas robotic injections.  I found that to be a pretty good price as Artas is much more expensive. 

I may consider a consultation with DR. HECTOR GARCIA as a second opinion. 

BTW; I got my quote last November via email communication and sending photos to Hero Institute, I expect that the price is still the same.  I'm now ready to move forward and when I reached out to them again a couple weeks ago they request a video conferencing consultation prior to on sight.  They are charging $30 for this, I bluntly told them that this is not common; they drop that idea quickly.  Any information you have is greatly appreciated.

Hi have you had any luck in your search in Colombia specifically Medellin? I am also searching for someone here and no great reviews that I can trust.

I've seen some good work from Bogota Hairlines, Dr. Camacho.

Dr. Yeimy Alvarez is one to look for, and Dr. Pitella in Brazil.
