Never heard of this Dr before but his works looks very good from what I can find. His old Instagram account suggests he had some involvement in a clinic in Barcelona too. Would be great to see more real time threads on here. He used to be a director at a clinic in Cyprus then set up on his own. He occasionally flies his entire team out to Barcelona and operates out of there, but his main clinic is in Cyprus. I think he’s a solid surgeon who offers a fairly unique approach (manual punch and partial shave). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a relatively small airport so collection is simple. The hotel is very comfortable (and includes breakfast) and the drivers to/from the airport, hotel and clinic were great. There's a Cypriot Uber eats equivalent so I used that for meals. Everyone speaks English so there's no problem there. Take a good book/iPad and you'll be just fine. I had a 2 day procedure and stayed a couple of extra days before flying back. Just saw this reply thanks very much for confirming that. I’ll be travelling home ASAP did you have much swelling etc? One thing they haven’t talked about is washing etc the following day? Do they give you any pillow for plane or after care products etc? Thanks. is there much to see around the hotel or is it remote?

You'll be given an antibiotic cream to mix up (with aloe vera) to apply to the donor area, bandages if you need them and shampoo to use for the few couple of weeks (starting day 4 I think). The hotel is about a 20min walk into the city centre. There are restaurants within a stones throw though. The challenge is the heat - you want to keep your head out of the sun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll depend on your provider as to whether that's included in your regular tariff. There will be Sims you can buy in the airport if not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natural and dense and seems to have shaved a few years off! Thank you 😌. The second surgery has been the icing on the cake really and has increased density and make it look more natural in more situations/lighting. I've heard others say you really need to style your hair to get the illusion of density, and that's been minimised. Heres after a bad night's sleep and (obviously no styling whatsoever) That said, I think the first one was what really took the years off 🙂 Edited March 5 by BackFromTheBrink 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, you could ask him? He uses a manual punch and doesn't shave the recipient area, so his maximum number of grafts per day is about 2000.

What was strange (and great) was that I regained all sensation on my head within a fortnight and the redness only lasted probably 7 or 8 days. I think all the scabs had gone by about a week too.

I guess if you fix a good short haircut before, after 4 weeks it would be impossible to see anything? Unshaven with this result (and others I´ve seen) for this price seems like a steal! I´ve always refused to do a HT due to I cant go to work shaved and with redness all over my head. Your before and after pictures looks really great, congrats!

Looks so much younger I think it depends on the size of the surgery. I had a little shock loss on the donor area, but I suspect many wouldn't notice. I agree though - if you cut your hair short (with scissors) with clippered sides beforehand, noone would notice after a month.

Regular Member BackFromTheBrink Posted March 13 Regular Member Share Posted March 13 (edited) Here is growth after 6 weeks. You can see the implanted grants have shed in the hairline so it's looking thin, but the donor is looking relatively normal. Makes a good comparison to today, with wet hair, after the 750 hairline grafts have grown back. Edited March 13 by BackFromTheBrink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like his patient doesnt experince much redness compared to others. I´ve contacted Michalis and we found a spot during the spring so I´ve just booked it. Can I send a pm to you?
