~2,000 units FUE by Bevin Bhoyrul in Melbourne, Australia

[trazman58]

Hi All, 

Long time lurker, first time poster. Early 30s, male, based in Melbourne, Australia. I had 2,000 FUE transplant done by Bevin Bhoyrul from Sinclair Dermatology in October 2022. Bevin is my dermatologist who prescribes my min and fin and also does my PRP treatments. He also does transplants and so I got mine done with him to ensure continuity of treatment with a single provider. 

The transplant itself went smoothly. Spent almost a whole day getting the procedure done. I had approx 600 units placed on my crown and 1,400 on the hairline. 

Pictures are below. I'm not satisfied with the density and the inconsistency in the density between the forelock and temples. I'm looking to get a second transplant to improve this one done and having read through the various experiences on this forum I'm considering Dr Laorwong which is probably the most convenient international provider given the proximity of Thailand to Australia. 

I would welcome everyone's thoughts on the result. I have been pleased with Dr Bhoyrul as a dermatologist but the overall result of the transplant is disappointing.

Hey @trazman58. Bevan is also my dermatologist here in Melbourne and he’s a great guy. However with the greatest respect he just doesn’t have enough time on tissue. I’m fact over the past 38 years there is not one surgeon here in Australia that has the skill set of the surgeons recommended by patients here. Dr Laorwong is an excellent choice and many people (including a lot of Aussies) have had surgery with him. Do lots of research here and avoid Australia. All the best.
