Wellington Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 (edited) Hi, my name is Wellington, I'm from Brazil and I would like to share with you my hair implante case with Dr. Felipe Pittella, in Linhares, a beatiful city in the Espírito Santo - Brazil. Actually, i'm 35 years old, and i noticed on the last years an increase in my baldness. Then, i started a treatment with the Dr. Felipe Pittella, with a intention to stop hair loss and to plan a hair implante. So, yesterday was a big day for me, my surgery. The Doctor and all team are very profissionals and friendly, give me all support was a long time, since the scheduling, financial sector, reception (helping with hotel indication and everything that i needed, this was important for me because i didn't have a companion for the surgery- i came alone). The photos about the pre-operative and the intra-operative can be see below: The surgery was too long, about 12 hours, was implanted 6.000 follicles, which corresponded to 12.474 hairs, according can be see on Photo below (the surgery table) and the cust of the implant was 4 usd/graft. In the next days i'll share my evolution. If anyone want to ask about the implant, it will be a pleasure to answer.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted February 10, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 10, 2022 I have to say this is one of the most intriguing cases from Dr. Pittella, this is a difficult case because of all of the diffuse hair loss. I will be following your journey closely. Thank you for sharing and happy growing 🙌 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Zach Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 That’s pretty incredible graft placement! 12 hour surgery sounds very tiring, were you completely sedated ? Did you feel more pain towards the end ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wellington Posted February 12, 2022 Author Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) Hello! I’m here to show my week update and share somethings from the days after the surgery, that i considered important. First and second day (after surgery) – I went back to the clinic on the morning, the Dr. Pitella took off the bandage, applied a topical medication and made a another bandage (on the second day, I didn't need to make a new bandage). I kept all the care after the surgery, mainly with the area implanted (to sleep, get in or get out of the car, etc…), the result was that I didn't lose any grafts - Doctor's analysis during these two days. On the second day, i come home. I drived for five hours and i didn't have any pain on my head, just a little small swelling on my face (near near my cheek). Third day (after surgery) - Swelling remains on my face, no pain on the head and i feel better to the evolution of healing. however, I avoided any kind of movement (I didn't work), spent theses three days resting a lot. The photos below is from today (third day after the surgery): About the day of the surgery, i stayed on the clinic for 12 hours. However, in this period, had preparations for surgery (have a haircut), had breaks (lunch and afternoon snack) and the important to say that i had a local anesthesia - i didn't feel any pain at all, i slept the most of the time.

Senior Member MazAB Posted February 16, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Excellent total coverage from frontal to crown with only 6000 grafts! The grafts in combination with your native hair will yield a fantastic result. Also, the natural wavy hair of yours will also give way to a higher illusion of density.
