(Still great value for a top surgeon IMO) Thanks for the information @therambler, How does the payment work? You mentioned 2.95 per graft and you had the graft total of 3252. Correct me if Im wrong but they wont know until they see you and perform the surgery on you on how many grafts they will totally get from your donor site right? So you really dont have any idea how much you will be paying until the procedure is done it that how it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you really dont have any idea how much you will be paying until the procedure is done it that how it works? I'd say you definitely have an idea of how you'll much you'll be paying. You're given a quote based on an estimated number of grafts, and I would imagine that every surgeon would discuss the possibility of potentially needing a bit more or a bit less than that number. I can't imagine it would ever be such a huge increase that it would throw someone's budget completely off - and I also suppose if a patient needed the grafts to be capped at a certain number of grafts, they would be able to communicate that with the surgeon so that they don't go over that number - even if they think it's best. 1 1 I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA.

What other patients say in other forums is that Dr. Pinto makes a surgical planning for you with an estimated figure of grafts. If once in the clinic he needs less grafts for instance because the patient has improved with medication, he will return the money that is left over, and if he thinks he needs a slightly higher number, it is free (on his own). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great process and very patient friendly. Pinto seems like a fantastic doctor and an even better person. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europe is much closer to home In the Spanish ones, he is highly recommended, together with Dr Juan Couto, Dr José Lorenzo, and Dr Rafael De Freitas, but he is more affordable (maybe because his clinic is in Portugal) and his overall results are simply amazing, and he is the only one who performs the whole surgery (drawing, shaving, anesthesia, extracting, and grafting). I love the work of those 4 doctors, and they are all considered among the best surgeons in the world.

Yeah the crown is a lot slower to grow than the rest! At least I can use fibres on it now, which wasn't really possible before as the hair was getting too sparse! Hoping it will continue to fill in a bit more in the coming months.. but won't rule out another touch up either 😂 FUT with Dr. Konior in 2014 - 3814 grafts - Thread FUE with Dr. Pinto in May 2022 - 3252 grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
