Regular Member andrewfaliro Posted November 1, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted November 1, 2021 Hello all! Long time lurker here. I am getting very close to making a decision on a surgeon for my transplant. I have narrowed it down between Bisanga and Freitas. I have consulted with both (Bisanga in person and Freitas online) and both gave me an estimate of 2400-2500 grafts to fill in the temples and conservative lowering the hairline. I am 36 (37 in May) NW 3, Medium fine hair, and donor density 75/75/80 Average - 77 So, the question is: from a pure aesthetic point of view, which surgeon would you choose if you were me?

Regular Member JohnnyR Posted November 1, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted November 1, 2021 Both great surgeons. If money is not important, I would personally prefer bisanga. But only because I can be in brussels in 4 hours by bus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, money, logistics, and any other factors aside you would still choose Bisanga? Just seeking opinions on which surgeon you would choose if you were in my shoes.

Senior Member ITA Posted November 1, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 1, 2021 They are both top surgeons, but between the two I would choose Bisanga, only for the fact that I have seen more real testimonies here, not just those published by the clinic as De Freitas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted November 1, 2021 Administrators Share Posted November 1, 2021 They’re both excellent surgeons. I always say when results and quality is equal let cost and convenience be the deciding factor. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member Curious25 Posted November 1, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 1, 2021 I think I overall prefer de freitas’s clinic posted results, however this could also be down to the superior marketing strategy he adopts , their videos and thread presentations are very good. However Bisanga has a lot more patient posted results that I have came across , so for me , unless I went out my way to scan through the Spanish forums for more patient posted results from de Freitas, I’d opt for Bisanga purely based off the larger volume of real reviews I had seen. The fact you have had an in person consult with Bisanga would also lean me more towards him, as he’s already had a good chance to look at what he’s got to work with - de Freitas could decide to go a different route on the day of surgery if it is the first time you have seen him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering this, I think here is just a matter of who's results were more impressive to you. Who does the more suitable/aesthetic hairlines in your opinion, maybe not using so much of your donor, who has better post-op assistance, etc. The hairlines that De Freitas does look very good to me (so I chose to book with him) but also price and logistic were in his favor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MachoVato Posted November 2, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 2, 2021 It's your first transplant and your donor looks great. I also vote for De Freitas because I love his hairlines. I would make this personal observation... I have not seen any examples of repair work by De Freitas. If you were going for your second/third procedure, needed to correct a poor transplant, or needed someone who could manage your donor, I would choose Bisanga. He does some hard cases (as does Dr. Mwamba). He also speaks English, not sure about De Freitas. In your case, you can't fail with these two doctors. 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...
