Senior Member GaryStruthers Posted August 15, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hi I'm wondering if anybody on this site has had a successful transplant with Dr. Camacho in Bogota, Colombia. I've had an e-mail consultation with him, studied his website, before & after's etc. All look in working order, and his team seem respectful and professional. His price point is very respectable as well. I feel I'm about 8 to 12 months out on booking at this point and would love to travel from NY to Bogota opposed to a few other destinations I've researched. MY SURGEON SHORT-LIST: 1) Dr. Arika Bansal (India) 2) FUE-HLC (Turkey) 3) Dr. Bruno Ferreira (Portugal) I'd like to fit Dr. Camacho into that list - preferably at the top. I just can't seem to find anyone on here that has had a first hand experience with him. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted August 15, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 15, 2021 @MachoVatoMentioned this Dr very recently. Although you already have some good (proven) Names on your list. I’m not so sure I would be choosing someone who doesn’t have any actual patient journeys posted. Clinic ones are always cherry picked. Be careful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MachoVato Posted August 15, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 15, 2021 Camacho has a couple patients in a Facebook group I'm in. He's the only name in Colombia I know. The results I've seen were average. Same with the results I've seen from Mexico... average results at best. But not failures. For Americans, Mexico and Colombia are closer/cheaper to get to. It would be akin to going to Turkey from England. Absolutely no way is he in the same league with HLC or Ferreira.

Senior Member ITA Posted August 15, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 15, 2021 Learn more with the three surgeons / clinics on your list, forget about those who, in addition to hair transplants, also do plastic surgeries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MachoVato Posted August 16, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted August 16, 2021 I'm not sure he's a plastic surgeon. He is a medical surgeon, trained in hair restoration in the US in year 2000. Started his own practice in Colombia in 2005... so over 20 years experience is pretty good. For the research of others: https://www.bogotahairlines.com/ The before/after photos are not super impressive, but there you go. 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...

Not impressed with his website though. As you mentioned even the cherry picked clinics are not great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
