I found it confusing. I'd also like to see pics. I explained why. Not Couto's fault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My replies to these points are as follows:1. RE: successful surgeon in the world. Successful based on what? Did he make the most money? Do other surgeons line up for advice? Happiest clients? Are his results deemed better than anyone else? And by whom? Does he have the best marketing? My point here is its tricky to measure "successful" beyond a generalisation; unless a specific context is added. It's certainly reasonable to say you feel he's the best, but what are you basing that on?2. RE: a long waiting list. How is he acquiring his clients? Does volume of clients equate to quality? Perhaps his marketing in his home market is best?3. RE: He is full of patients. Perhaps this implies he needs a better admin system for handling them all? To me it reads he is crammed. 4. RE: He is not interested in this [forum]. Does that mean he does his best work with his home market? Does the Mediterranean client base have a specific hair type that he deals best with? What I mean here is that if I'm going to get something as important as surgery, I want to know i'm looked after (ideally in my own language) and not pushed through a hair mill; regardless who the operator is. 5. RE: You will regret cancelling. There may be regrets ...or not! It's difficult to discern what 'better' means. I have previously read (perhaps incorrectly?) that Couto packs in grafts to hairlines to create a powerful result. I'm not a surgeon so I can't say if that's a good practice; however, I would consider IF that is indeed correct, what the implications are to the rest of the hair through the lifetime. Perhaps there is less donor hair to use in future; or implications we don't fully understand. Something to investigate further. I think there are surgeons out there who do great work and create impressive results. It seems Couto is one of them. However, due to a lack of English materials (which again, probably isn't his target market) it isn't clear where: 1) his strengths are beyond testimonial videos; 2) what the overall experience is in working with him; and 3) what relationship to expect during the process. You really have time on your hands my friend. I have no desire to overcomplicating things answering point by point. I have had surgery with 5 or 6 of the best FUE surgeons in the world (most consistent outstanding results, highest graft survival rates and close to a 100% patient satisfaction, almost non existent bad reviews after thousands of surgeries performed) and Couto is by a mile the best out of all of them. Second is Freitas. Third comes Feriduni. After that I would put Dr Lorenzo and Bruno Pinto. The best BHT surgeon by far Mwamba and HLC (Ozgur) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Couto, 2. Dr. De Freitas, 3. Dr. Lorenzo. If I went to the first HT, I would probably thinking about Dr. Ferreira... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halo Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hello mustang, Forgive me but can you please post the pics of your result because its important for me to make decision regarding couto. Thank you, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mustang Posted January 25, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi Guys, I will post my story and pictures end of this yea when my HT journey has been completed. Ironically enough I might shave it all off, get SMP and move on with life after 15 years of surgeries and treatments. I do have a full head of hair but I can't be bothered anymore with styling it or using toppik for the extra density Halo, you have hundreds of results from Couto, if you don't trust his work I would advice to go somewhere else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your pictures, your hair already looks like it’s extremely dense. Even with the faux hawk hairstyle. I’d be interested to read your story. We have a site where you can create individual blogs/reviews for each surgeon and add pictures.

Senior Member Prof101 Posted January 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted January 11, 2022 How to contact Dr. Coutou's office? Their website says it's under construction... He is worth the wait, if he offers a good consultation(?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is about 1 year waiting time for consultations and 1 year between consultations and surgery. But he doesn´t take new patients this time. Also Dr. De Freitas is very good surgeon in Spain. Last time I see a lot of perfect results also from Eugenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hair looks 10/10 when I style it, but in its complete natural state it looks a bit off. So I feel like I'm a slave to using product. Still, 12 surgeries still is something else...
