OB718 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Hi all! Coming from New York , Had my Hair Transplant done on Dec 6 2021 in Colombia with Dr Camacho, Bogota Hairlines. I will be sharing my experience as well as the progress hopefully each month. I am 29 have been on finasteride for about 3 years, i feel as my hair loss somewhat stabilized. My goal was to fill in the recessions and improve density at the mid frontal area. The doctor I cant put words on how incredible my experience with Dr Camacho and his team was. I came in very nervous to the clinic and He was very patient and attentive to all my questions. Dr Camacho speaks excellent english and is very communicative. We agreed it's best not to push the limit with a low hairline and to go for a conservative approach as i am still considerably young, have a lot of hair mid scalp/Crown and i wanted to save some donor reserve for the future. I am considering to start Minoxidil to improve my fine hairs. The Surgery I was the only patient that day so had a large team work on me all at once. Dr Camacho was performing about two thirds of the extraction and then was replaced by Dr Paola. I think there were about 3-4 techs sorting the grafts. Dr Camacho did pre made slits and then implanted the grafts with a pen. I had Dr Camacho work on my left side while Dr Paola work on my right side placing the grafts in the pre made slits. I was pretty blown away by the team effort during that part, i think there were about 6-7 techs who were loading the pens and pass to the doctors. All things considered I would say everything went smooth but man those numbing shots were pretty brutal especially the ones they gave before implantation. I ended up getting 2415 grafts. Post surgery I had my head wrapped with a plastic wrap for a couple of days before doing my first wash. First night felt very tight but i did get some sleep. They gave me a travel pillow to hold my head steady while sleeping. Day after felt much better and was able to walk around This is my last day in Bogota, catching a flight back to New York today. I must say i really enjoyed Bogota, it's a great city and i am glad i arrived few days before and got a chance to explore and dine. Im attaching some photos before and right after surgery, will do my best to post more photos as i recover and get some growth. Good luck to me!!

Regular Member Fabulous Posted December 8, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted December 8, 2021 The hairline looks nice, but more impressive to me is that you got covered a pretty large area with a small number of grafts. Good luck and happy growing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OB718 Posted August 1, 2022 Author Share Posted August 1, 2022 Sorry wasn’t consistent with the updates but here are my 8 month photos. Very happy with my progress so far in particular with how my hairline starts soft and then builds up towards the mid scalp. This was a concern for me going into this as I’ve seen a lot of transplants that look very obvious and I’m happy there was some thought given into my hairline design. I believe I have 4 more months to go but can’t really imagine it getting any better than this. Thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted August 1, 2022 Administrators Share Posted August 1, 2022 Massive improvement, and yes it will get better. You’ll see some more hair growth and maturation in the next 4 months. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.
