Regular Member Kraki77 Posted March 29, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted March 29, 2022 I just wanted to share this piece of information with everyone else on this community. Unfortunately, I thought that I was about to book hair transplant but now I have second thoughts because this is really stretching my budget. I think that I'll have to switch my attention to dr. Pinto and wait for his assessment. I really wanted to go with Ferreira but he has jumped out of my league financially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JoeMan Posted March 29, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 29, 2022 Wow! Interesting...I guess it makes sense since supply/demand but he really just went to 3€ not long ago. I was mad I missed out at 2,5€ lol. I'd say he's likely still worth it but Dr. Pinto at 2,6€ seems like better value. I wouldn't be surprised to see his price increase soon as well.

Senior Member JoeMan Posted March 29, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 29, 2022 I guess you also have to figure that if he wants to raise rates in 1 year, he needs to increase now since he's booked a year out. His financial gain won't be seen till then so maybe looking at inflation, he's acting now. Just guessing here of course. I know a couple of Dr's just increased though. Dr. Biçer and Dr. Bisanga being 2 I know of. Likely more to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Kraki77 Posted March 29, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 29, 2022 Yeah, I'll wait and see until I receive graft estimate. I really do value his work and he always replied readily, even on Sundays which was really helping to establish trust and piece of mind. It's tough, you don't want to place budget among the most important priorities. But, I come from Croatia and even though I work as an civil engineer, this is really stretching my budget close to the breaking point. This really caught me off guard, I didn't expect it.

Senior Member JoeMan Posted March 29, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 29, 2022 His office told you this I'm assuming? But you haven't received an estimate yet? Many people haven't been able to get an estimate from him. Maybe he's opening his calendar back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've paid for FastTrack before when it was available and he was replying swiftly every time since then. He reviewed two different sets of pictures after 9 months of finasteride consumption and confirmed that I'm suitable candidate. Alexandra sent me today pricing ranges and up until that point everything was going smoothly, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JoeMan Posted March 29, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 29, 2022 Wow, maybe ask if you book today if you can have the old price since you've been working with them. Dr. De Freitas was already cheaper on larger graft cases but now he's much cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, thank you for the encouragement, I'll certainly try to do that because there is nothing to lose, I'm certainly not rushing into anything. I will let you know what happened at the end.

Senior Member Falconary Posted March 29, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 29, 2022 I think that Dr. Pinto is just as good so you wouldn't "downgrade". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member BaldingtimetoLdar Posted March 29, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 29, 2022 I wonder if Freitas and Pinto will increase their prices as well as their waiting lists are getting a bit long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Gramatik Posted March 29, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 29, 2022 Bruno Ferreira doesn't have many cases posted on forums. So I can't understand why someone would select him at this price if you can't see many cases from him. He just does a few surgeries per week and he is alone, that's why he tries to increase prices but he doesn't worth it. He is too expensive for what you will get from him. He should not charge more than 2.0-2.5 euro per graft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Nw7HPE Posted March 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2022 Wow inflation is really getting to everything 😆 As if we are not unlucky enough being predisposed to MPB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Kraki77 Posted March 30, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 30, 2022 I also want to add that dr. Bruno Pinto increased his price, this was confirmed to me by Emilio, his coordinator. It's now 2,95 euros/graft. Unfortunately, that's understandable if we take into account current situation where prices are really skyrocketing every where. That table from Portugal25 needs some revision,haha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member JoeMan Posted March 30, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 30, 2022 Yeah, I suspect that a bunch will do the same, especially if you are booked for a year out. This means that they've already quoted people at the old price for a year. They won't see the increase until March 2023. Good luck and let us know who you pick.

Regular Member Kraki77 Posted March 30, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 30, 2022 I have also contacted De Freitas clinic directly to see what price they offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member PutTheFolliclesInTheBag Posted March 30, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted March 30, 2022 Yeah the price hike is unfortunate, but I am afraid things will only get worse in this regard. Reading this I feel really fortunate to have booked with Dr Ferreira back when he still charged 2,50/graft, sorry for your situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
