Regular Member MrZennie Posted August 16, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted August 16, 2019 This is a question for people who have been following this industry for a while: If money and travel were not issues, which doctors would be in your top five list for hair restoration surgery? (Doctors must be able to do FUE procedures) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Aftermath Posted August 16, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted August 16, 2019 Dr hasson dr wong dr lorenzo pretty much the only 3 I’d personally let touch my scalp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Care to elaborate why you chose these doctors? Also, op said doctor must be able to do fue. Alexander only uses artas for fue so I don’t think that’s a good option. i know you worked for arocha in the past but have you worked with any other of these docs?

Hey Laser, would you mind elaborating on your selection? It's different to most people's, who opt with the likes of: H&W, Konior, Lorenzo (who I personally would have listed). I only ask as you're one of the more knowledgeable members of this forum, and I'm sure you have an interesting insight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arocha i wouldnt trust to take my photo and Farjo can't seem to dense pack to save his life. I'd be fascinated at your reasoning. To address OP's question I agree with Aftermath's assessment; H&W, Lorenzo and I'd also add Konior and Nadimi to the list. I'd also feel entirely comfortable turning up to Bloxham's clinic and let him do whatever he felt like This is exactly one year post op a 2k session with Farjo. Saw him in person a couple of weeks before these pics were taken and he was happy to leave my journey right there. Said that’s as good as modern HT’s get.

Senior Member home1212 Posted August 18, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted August 18, 2019 i'd add Dr. Cuoto in Spain on your list, unfortunately you would have to add if waiting time weren't an issue either, his clinic's waiting list is nearly 2 years - excellent FUE results.

Senior Member OliverAtom Posted January 30, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 30, 2020 If money and travel were not issues... Dr Juan Couto in Spain would be the best option nowadays: Extraordinary densities, amazing natural hairlines, temples like no other and highest % of graft survival. And no matter what type or big or small alopecia, Couto looks like he can do it all bordering on perfection in all his cases. Just a couple of examples from FUExpert Clinic YouTtube Channel... AMAZING RESULTS! Best of luck on you search!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Sam818 Posted January 31, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hey @AftermathYou work for Dr. Hasson at all? You promote him on these forums so I’m just wondering Before someone pays the price is there any info we should Know. When he saw some of the bad work from fario did you end up removing some of it?

No mate, I’m just a grateful patient, zero financial incentives unfortunately. The work by farjo wasn’t bad in that it needed removing, the lack of density just made it look terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Portugal25 Posted January 31, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted January 31, 2020 The best results I have seen with FUE belong to Raymond Konior, Jose Lorenzo and Juan Couto.

Senior Member Gasthoerer Posted February 1, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) 23 hours ago, hairlossPA said: here we go again with couto... lol +1 I wonder why there is currently this hype around certain clinics based on youtube videos and pictures from the clinic. Almost any clinic can select cases which look good under the right boundary conditions. Couto is great but the few patient reports which were linked here are not better than other clinics in here. Couto is also just an example. The hype train is on fire lately.

Senior Member karatekid Posted February 1, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) I dont get the saying that 'spanish guys has the best donot', why does it matter what donor density they have, at the end of the day there is a number of grafts used for the procedure, and when we compare results from different doctors we do it by comparing similar cases where same amount of grafts cover same area size, dont we? so the question is why a non-spanish guy with same hairloss pattern would get different result with same number of gratfs? I do understand the hair characteristic importance. But honestly I dont see something special in the hair of those guys. Actually the guy from the first video that @OliverAtom posted has kinda similar hair to mine, a dark wavy hair. And the results look very good Edited February 1, 2020 by karatekid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With great donor, people refer to hair characteristics: Two effects come to play - Hair diameter and HGI (Hair to Graft Index) with the third being waviness. Examples: Double the hair diameter gives approx. the coverage of 4 times the # of grafts. I have seen HGI vary between 1.8 and 2.8 which also gives a great difference in coverage. 1 400+ grafts in 2018 and 2900 grafts in 2020 via FUE with Feriduni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of his clients come from other parts of europe. French is the average white guy in europe. Spaniard is the 2nd average white guy in europe that he works on. My friend from London is on one of his vids. But he was on a long waiting list. I dont recommend the doc since you'll be waiting years for a consult with him.

This was a single pass and dr hasson commented on how easy it was to achieve density because of the guys Spanish heritage, he also said the guy had plenty of donor left OK. So you go a get the BEST result from Hasson. Dr Hasson himself talks about this result as: "a result that would be considered a “home run”". Hasson also says about this case that: "could arguably be the best single session hair transplant ever." And you are comparing the BEST result from Dr Hasson with these cases in which Dr Couto with considerably fewer grafts gets equal or even better results : ) For example on this one case, Dr Couto uses HALF the grafts than Hasson. Yeah yeah, no KIDDING ... half the grafts 4200 vs 8400 ?!?!?! And this is just one of the many reasons there is no one like Dr Couto: And then what to say about this other case/comparison.Dr Couto operates on an IRRADIATED SCALP with just 5800 FUE Grafts ... while Dr Hasson get 8400 with the FUT Technique ...Dr Hasson was the king a decade ago, amazing FUT surgeon and he is still great, I do respect him because in 2010 when I started my research on Hair Transplants Hasson was the man, but ... with Dr Couto and the FUE technique we are talking about something else nowadays ... Well, I dont think there´s much more to say... RESULTS speak for themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
