Senior Member Sitries1 Posted March 26, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2021 Hi Gents following a good amount of research I have made my final decision and booked with Dr Ferreira for December of this year. I had HLC and Dr Ferreira tied at the top of my list based on my research but it came down to communication and aftercare in the end. I got the feeling Dr Ferreira actually cares more about his work rather than it just being a business. HLC have a tonne of great results online and were top of my list for a while - I had actually decided to pick them until the levels of communication let them down. Pros for HLC were - - Loads of immense results posted online dating back many years. - Great hairline designs and very dense packed. - lots of surgeons so the have specialists in all areas and can work on you in shifts so they don’t get tired. Cons for HLC were - - Poor communication. - Don’t seem very organised (I heard a story of a guy waiting 3 hours at the airport to get picked up). - Multiple surgeons so how do you know who your getting on the day? - I’ve seen reports of little to no aftercare so I would be concerned if the operation wasn’t a success and how a resolution could be sorted! - Their evaluation of my case was very poor in comparison to Dr Ferreira. It felt more like ‘well sort it out when you get here!’ Pro’s for Dr Ferreira - Very highly regarded surgeon in the industry - considered a star of the future. - Worked alongside one of to greats in Dr Lorenzo. - Some great results posted online and haven’t read a bad review on him. - Comes across as a down to earth genuine nice guy in his e mails. - Very professional evaluation of my case and streamlined booking procedure (very good assistant Alexandra who responds swiftly to e mails). Cons for Dr Ferreira - Not a large quantity of results And reviews online. - Doesnt have ten plus years of experience like some surgeons. - Slight concern he may not be as ambitious with dropping the hairline down as HLC would of been. Based on the above I feel I be Chosen wisely and roll on December! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted March 26, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2021 Very well researched! I think you made the right choice. But either is very capable of excellent results. Dr Ferreira does have more cases on other forums, not so much here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Marco Van Basten Posted March 26, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 26, 2021 I was actually going to contact HLC this weekend. Them Pekiner and Bicer Already contacted Bisanga last year and hopefully travel will be available again this year so really have to make a descision Haven't considered Ferreira due to lack of other reviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SD1984 Posted March 28, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted March 28, 2021 Glad you've done your research and made a decision. I'm sure things will go fine. For me personally I just wouldn't feel comfortable going to a surgeon who has very little photographs/video support but that's just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
