I'm assuming now that he has a new state-of-the-art facility, he will expand his staff and train more people. Hopefully, the wait times will be shorter moving forward. 

Im sorry to bring It to you but so far its the same team, same number of parients/week and I believe there is no intention to make the team bigger. Its Dr. Couto, Dr Esteban (extraction) and Dr. Torres (helping with implantation). Same as before

4 and a half months

I decided to do and update now because of a new course of events. I had a surgery at my donnor in order to remove a small fat tumor (nothing serious at all). I checked this surgery with Couto himself last time I was in his clinic and he gave me Green light to run the surgery.

So since I shaved yesterday all my donnor in order to match the hair lenght, right after they removed my suturation points, I thought It would be a good moment to share the donnor shaved at 1 and 2 mms

Day after surgery:

As you can see the temples are growing at a decent speed. Although the middle part where I had already density problems its going slow . I wont jump into any conclusions yet, its soon. Plus Couto told me that the middle part may go slower so lets wait.

I am concerned though about the donnor. I Hope this recent surgery didnt kill many grafts there, but still is soon to know. I am cleaning the area as I was told and so far It has been going good.

This is excellent documentation. Thanks for sharing such a personal moment. It's extremely helpful for those small occasions when others might be going through the same thing.

Your donor and recipient both look to be in incredible shape for everything you've gone through.

You have a great outlook about everything. 👍🏼✌️🏼

Happy growing!

Can I ask what the procedure was with regard to designing the hairline shape and symmetry? Did he do this by eye or did he use any kind of measuring apparatus to find the centre etc?

By eye. But what an eye! At some point I told him to lower a little bit more some temple closure cause I saw the other one more closed and he did (It was like maybe only 1mm or smth like that)

For me the design is the best. My forehead is not the smallest but my head is big. More would have been to much in my opinion.

It aint that bad as It looks. If you zoom you can see hairs starting to grow there so It Will probably be covered with no dificulties.

Looking great. My only criticism would be that he should have put some hairs in the mid scalp where you’re a little thin. He said something about not wanting transplant between existing hairs didn’t he?? Not sure why.

7 month 

Just came from the clinic!

I am very Happy with my current result. I do feel tho a little lack of density specially around my right temple and middle scalp, but for month 7 (actually more like month 6 and 25 days) looks what It should look like.

Couto told me that at month 12 he will do a small touch up on the right temple, but that It Will be sooo small that he wont even need to shave my hair. Also in my donnor because of my small tumor surgery there is now a little bald spot that he told me that he will cover as well. Im not concerned..! I didnt even expect I would need a touch up but now I will prepare myself for it. Its fine. My only concern would be about my agenda for when the time comes but lets see 😊

Cant tell man... But keep in mind that in my case my frontal was not as big of a surgery as yours. And all my new hair is still lacking density. 

Send him the pics at month 10 and lets see..!
