I'd love to hear his opinions on the state of hair transplants in Brazil, in general (not just his own practice). Very few people talk about Brazil as a place to get a HT, but I've seen quite good results from multiple surgeons, not just Pittella. Also, don't know if it would be rude to ask, but if he was to answer positively about the above, I'd love to hear who else (other than himself) he would consider to be good in Brazil. Wonder if he'd name the same clinics that I considered. Edited June 17, 2022 by Fue3361 Check out my journey here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayo Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 21 hours ago, Melvin- Moderator said: Thanks Adrian, look forward to your questions. I love Dr Pittella and he is my no.1 choice at the moment but I have few questions. 1. I'd love to see some of the smaller cases he do with an aggressive hairline. I've seen plenty of mega session but less in the small cases. 2. What's is the max density/ cm² the doctor can perform for hairlines? Also I would love to know how he approach the temporal peaks. I've seen some and honestly Dr. Pittella seems like he don't make them stronger intentionally for his own reasons. Would love to know more about temporal peaks Thanks!

THE TRUTH Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I got one question for Dr.Pitella How good of an indicator of graft survival is the fact that transplanted hairs have reached a certain length before the shedding phase that occurs generally 3 weeks after surgery ? From my experience it's not a guarantee of graft survival but would like to hear his insight. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member SLA Posted June 17, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 17, 2022 Is the live podcast happening now? I went to the Instagram and am following both the HRN and Dr. Pittella, but don't see the livestream circle to access. Just want to be sure I am not doing something incorrectly.

Senior Member Z-- Posted June 18, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 18, 2022 Agreed. Really love the ethics behind his position, which is that he wouldn't prescribe a drug that he wouldn't use on himself (hence the refusal to prescribe). Fantastic interview.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 18, 2022 Author Administrators Share Posted June 18, 2022 Yea I think that ends the argument for me, I can totally respect that. If he wouldn’t take it for himself, the ethical thing is to not prescribe it. At the end of the day, fin is a personal choice, one must weigh the pros and cons. I’m neither pro not anti-fin. I’m of the thought that you should try it, if it works great, if it doesn’t back to the drawing board. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic.

Senior Member SLA Posted June 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 19, 2022 No worries @Melvin- Moderator- tech issues happen. while it is fresh in the mind, it would be great if anyone who was on the podcast could list some more of the points Dr Pittella made in regards to his approach, especially in how he obtains excellent results and full coverage in higher Norwoods with non optimal donor. was there anything revolutionary about his approach or what he said?

Senior Member SLA Posted June 21, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 21, 2022 Ah...I see, you were actually able to get 1 hour worth of content recorded. @Melvin- Moderator-- you have done it again. Superb interview with @Dr. Felipe Pittella. I learned so much including about graft placement and optimal strategies to maximize coverage for high Norwoods. Dr. Pittella- You are not only extremely knowledgeable and a masterful surgeon, but are likeable, compassionate and have a strong sense of ethics. Thanks for sharing everything and look forward to seeing more results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
