@MJM I paid €2.65 per graft but I booked and paid well over a year ago. I know Dr Bruno Pinto like everybody has had to put his prices up since then due to all the costs rising. He said during mine he wishes he didn’t have to but to be able to use all the proper and good equipment there is only a few places that supply them and they have price increases and basically all the good doctors use them so they have all had to increase prices now

Hi All

Here is an update from three weeks post hair transplant yesterday.

Three weeks is random, there are hairs growing quite long and thick (I know they are going to shed) some that don’t seem to have grown much and some that have fallen out already so all in all it’s a bad look haha.

The right side has had more shed by now. I can see sparser areas where hair was before but also easy to tell as the skin underneath becomes more visible with less hair it is looking red or pinker. It’s not so red looking in the mirror but in photos does look rather red so hopefully the camera accentuates it.

Also a photo of the donor at three weeks that I have had cut and blended in a bit but that looks and feels great and has since week 1 really

Any comments or questions welcome

Hi All

I am now 6 weeks post hair transplant. I have shed nearly all grafts from about week 3 which is why I haven’t updated since as not much to report. I am starting to get a few pimples now. One or two here and there.

When I have my camera really zoomed in on my phone I see lots of tiny thin colourless hairs. Is that the start of early hair growth does anyone know? I can’t see them by eye only with the camera on but I do think I have quite a lot of these tiny colourless hairs that seems to be poking through the skin?

[Alex94gasp]

Amazing. I'm waiting my turn to. Did you had any appointment before surgery? Or only sent the photos and videos? 

Did he gave any advice how to sleep?

For curiosity, how much was the price per graft?

Wish you the best outcome!

Good question.  Not sure, can some of the vets here chime in on this question?

Hi Folks

It seems a while since I have updated the thread and that’s because I have been waiting for the 3 month mark.

Today I am officially 90 days after my hair transplant in Porto.

I am still a little red in the recipient area. I knew I would be redder for longer than most people as I do have really sensitive skin. I take my photos zoomed in and with flash that makes it look redder but gets better detail. When I take a normal photo by the window with no flash it isn’t that bad at all. Also to note I have never used anything like Aloe Vera etc on the recipient as I didn’t want to put anything on it while it healed

I do what everyone tells you not to do and check my hair every five minutes which means I don’t get to see the subtle changes but I’m pretty sure I am having some of the hairs growing in. I shed pretty much all my grafts but by now in week 12 I do seem to have the outline of the hairline and a good amount of hairs popping through especially on the left side which had less work on it. The right side was a bigger area and both sides are in need of more hairs and them all to thicken up but I think it looks ok for 90 days and interested to see what you all think?

All the photos are taken with flash apart from the last 6 which are just normal photos by a sunlight window including one of the donor area which has been great since about the second week and no shock loss just as Dr Bruno Pinto assured me there wouldn’t be any

I shall update again at 4 months

There is lot of new growth and the donor scarring is undetectable. So well healed.

Thanks for replying. Nice to hear it’s looking ok

Looks like you’re entering the growing phase and the donor looks completely untouched. Exciting times 😊

Thanks man I hope it gets a good result. Yes the donor has looked perfect since about 7 days post op

Hi Folks

Here is my 4 month 120 days update.

I was going to write how I wasn’t sure if the last month had seen much change but looking back now at my three month update I think it has. Let me know what you all think?

When I really zoom in I can see some tiny hairs poking through.

I really like the hairline design dr Pinto has done and the frame it gives my face.

I need more density and the hairs to thicken up. In favourable lighting the photos look quite good however in harsh bathroom over head lighting and looking side on it looks see through and I worry it’s not where it should be for the time frame.

You guys are the experts so I’m hoping you’ll let me know but I hope I am on track for where I should be at 4 months?

The first 6 photos are taken about 2 metres from the window with flash and zoom on

The next 6 photos are taken about a foot away from the window in natural light

As usual any questions or comments please feel free
