Regular Member Ricardo Bergamaschi, MD Posted January 18 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 18 I went for a consultation this week with Dr Felipe Pittella and he took and sent me these photos, marking the 1st year of surgery. I am very happy and satisfied with the end result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Stoner Posted January 18 Regular Member Share Posted January 18 (edited) Congrats on your result! I do have a question though. We have seen various presentations by Dr Pitella's patients that have a minimal write-up at the start, containing just the necessary information pertaining to their HT. Each of them is almost identically minimal to the other in the way they talk about the HT and the subsequent updates. I am wondering if the clinic encourages patients to post here and whether this includes any monetary incentives. I do not have any firm views on whether this is a practice that should generally be allowed or not, but I know that HRN does not accept it and other doctors have been reprimanded or excluded because they followed it. Would be grateful for any reply! Edited January 18 by Stoner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be grateful for any reply! Hello there, Using forums like this isn't common in Brazil; it's not something we typically do. This forum is gaining popularity in Brazil because of Dr. Pittella. He never offered money for posting here, but he did mention how it would be helpful if I shared my experience. I'm not sure if he does this with other patients, but I always believed I'd have a good result from the start. If he showed me how to post here, I'd gladly showcase how great my results turned out. I hope I've contributed to the forum in some way. Feel free to reach out if needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be grateful for any reply! You’re referring to Dr. Pekiner. I believe reviews should be posted genuinely, not for monetary incentives. This doctor’s rep Alex is a moderator of a European forum, so he knows very well how forums work. Offering money to share reviews drowns out genuine patients who want to share on their own free-will. At the time this occurred, there was a large amount of new reviews for this doctor. It felt odd, but I thought it was genuine. When I found out it was due to monetary incentives. I put a stop to it. I believe that keeps this forum fair and balanced for all. Now, I have no problem with surgeons referring their patients here, I’ve asked many surgeons to refer their patients here. As long as it is genuine, theres no problem. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network. I do not receive any compensation from any clinic. My comments are not medical advice.

Senior Member OliverAtom Posted January 25 Senior Member Share Posted January 25 Looking great! Congratulations. Now that you are past the 1 year mark, would you consider lowering your hairline? It looks like your donor is quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member BackFromTheBrink Posted January 26 Regular Member Share Posted January 26 It look very natural to me. I'm in the same position of thinking my hairline could be lower. However, I wouldn't want to risk having it look less natural. We're a similar age (I think) and think a low hairline would draw attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
