I was told a couple weeks ago that, although everything was fine at his clinic, surgeries would be postponed as a precaution. I rescheduled for the summer. He seems like like a stand-up dude.

I'm Lithuanian, but living in London. Clinic is closed as @BD99 said. I think it was a right decision to make when there wasn't a lot of cases in Portugal as it looks like its rising rapidly as well. 1 1st FUE - 28/01/2020 - 3659 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira 2nd FUE - 03/06/2021 - 2881 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira Follow me on YouTube I'm not a medical professional, thus any information given by me is my own observation and should not be treated as professional advice.

Senior Member MachoVato Posted March 31, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 31, 2020 I really, REALLY like the way Dr. Ferreira communicates. He gave me the best online evaluation (email) of all the clinics I contacted. And that post mortem report is great. I'm following your progress with great interest and hoping for a great result. I might go to him for my surgery when travel opens up again. 1 HLC Ankara | 4261 Grafts | Nov 7, 2020 (Hairline) Dr. Bisanga, BHR Clinic in Brussels | 1528 Grafts | Aug 12, 2021 (Crown and Temples) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly recommend him for anyone considering a elite level HT in Europe.

Now it is just a waiting game. I might sound like a total weirdo, but I sometimes forget that I even had HT and I'm expecting something to grow lol. I had it done, I know it will grow with time, so I know I've done everything I can and now it's time to forget about it.

Senior Member Rolandas Posted April 2, 2020 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 2, 2020 It's interesting how different light can change hair colour. I'm outside took a picture just now and it looks like I've got blonde hair where in reality it's much darker. 9 weeks post op. Still some redness in recipient area. Mid scalp and crown are filling in as well. 1st FUE - 28/01/2020 - 3659 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira 2nd FUE - 03/06/2021 - 2881 grafts - Dr. Bruno Ferreira Follow me on YouTube I'm not a medical professional, thus any information given by me is my own observation and should not be treated as professional advice.

Regular Member BD99 Posted April 2, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted April 2, 2020 Honestly, for being "practically bald" in the frontal third (Dr. Ferreira's words on his assessment, not mine, haha) it seems like a fair number of grafts didn't shed. You're gonna look so good in a few months. You can tell everyone "This coronavirus is crazy, man. It grew my hair back" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On another note I would say I shed around 80%, so whatever is left is growing very fast!

Also some more pictures The graft placement and hairline design looks solid, hopefully you’ll get a great result. That said, the donor extraction area appears to be well outside of the “safe zone”, extending fairly high up on the sides and the back. If you progress to a high Norwood over time, the scarring in these areas will be visible. It seems more and more surgeons are doing this with FUE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
