Arthur Passos Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Hello, everyone. I was watching this Hair transplant and it seemed interesting. I'm no doctor, but his donor area looked very poor, and the bald area was considerably big. Still, the doctor decided to do what he calls a dense packing on the front, with no distribution to other bald areas, aside from the crown. Also, the number of follicles extracted seems to be more than his got available. It would be better if you watch the video, but I attached some pictures in case you don't want to. What do you guys think? Edited July 11, 2020 by Arthur Passos Add pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted July 11, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 11, 2020 (edited) Yuck! Yes, that donor area is sparse. That's going to be one unhappy patient. 😑 An ethical surgeon would have declined.

Senior Member Britanium Posted July 11, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 11, 2020 Not looking good really. A hairline which doesn’t suit the level of baldness and yes that donor area isn’t great even now. Surely it will end up looking odd when the grafts grow in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HTHope Posted July 13, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 13, 2020 where is this clinic? What is the blue stuff on the recipient? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted July 13, 2020 Moderators Share Posted July 13, 2020 Definitely stay away from this place. This Dr has no idea what a hair transplant can do. It is obvious that there will not be enough donor hair to accomplish filling in the rest of the area in the future. He even drew the corners of the hairline rounded down. I don't know why Drs do this. It is so unnatural. You'd think that any Dr wanting to get into doing hair transplants would AT LEAST take a look at some real hairlines and see what a hairline is supposed to look like. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted July 13, 2020 Administrators Share Posted July 13, 2020 Where to unpack? The hairline is WAY too low, the grafts were extracted too high, you can see there’s obvious thinning on the upper lateral hump. I’m at a loss for words. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

I even considered questioning him in the video comments, but this would probably make the patient feel bad, so I didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Silent1234 Posted July 13, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted July 13, 2020 Hairline should have been a lot higher and more receded for this level of loss ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dazed Posted July 14, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) OK, I live in Florida so I am used to seeing blue haired old ladies, but what the hell is that with his implants. Honestly that looks like the Blue fertilizer the city sprays on the grass.

Senior Member Portugal25 Posted July 15, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted July 15, 2020 (edited) @Arthur Passos quando vier visitar Portugal sugeria que marque aqui o seu transplante capilar pois no Porto tem o Dr. Bruno Ferreira que também trabalha em Madrid com um dos melhores médicos do mundo o Dr. Jose Lorenzo. No Brasil não existem médicos a fazer transplantes com a qualidade do Dr. BF e se for aos Estados Unidos vai pagar 4x mais para ter um médico com a qualidade do Dr. BF. Fuja das clínicas Portuguesas como a Saude Viavel, CM2C e outras pois vai ter a sua cirurgia realizada por um técnico e o mais provável é ficar com um resultado fraco tal como o actor Rui Unas que é pago para promover a Saude Viavel mas mesmo assim ficou com resultados péssimos pois implantaram-lhe grafts duplos na linha frontal (linha frontal apenas deve ter singles).
