Aregularman Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Hello, I've been lurking in this site for almost a year. I've made up my mind with two doctors, Dr Pekiner and Dr Kongkiat Laorwong. Both are very good and produce natural results, however pekiner has a long waitlist. Any advice? Laorwong patients are free to pm me their journey, and also pekiners patients please!

Regular Member Coffee_bean Posted November 2, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) Hey mate. I had everything narrowed down to Pekiner, Laorwong, and Freitas. To be honest, I really wanted Pekiner. However, Pekiner rejected me and wanted to “wait a year” and see how my thinning progressed. Both Freitas and Laorwong felt Finasteride + topical Minoxidil gave me marked improvement, so they offered me appointments. I decided on Dr Laorwong due to his hairline designs, density and availability. He also does not use rows, which was important for me, as I’ll buzz my hair down from time to time. As far as overall end results, I scoured clients pictures for all three docs and honestly couldn’t see any difference as far as producing dense hairlines. Currently just at 5 weeks post op from Dr Laorwong. Feel free to reach out. Edited November 2, 2023 by Coffee_bean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i had to choose between them i would go with laorwong, his hairline work looks better to me and he achieves better results with less grafts used. Plus he is more experienced with NW-5 cases and he offers strip too if this is a better option for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pekiner, by all accounts is more of a hairline specialist, and thus perhaps not necessarily the first choice for high nws. Defreitas, is similar, and as I understand he is more selective about what cases he takes on. I emailed DeFretias my pics along with many other Drs through this site and he rejected me, as according to my pics, my donor was too weak for a transplant. I am now just over 3 and a half months post op with Laorwong. As already mentioned he is good with higher Nws and no regrets so far- touch wood.

I'm interested about the hairline, which of them does it more naturally. I can see that both does the implants in random patterns so that's a bonus for wearing short hair. Both pekiner and Laorwong quoted between 2000-2400 grafts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
