CTonna Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Dr. Jean Luc Portelli is a gem in the world of hair transplants. After a friend's recommendation, I went to him for a procedure earlier this year. His pre-op explanation was thorough, and his professionalism was evident throughout. The surgery, lasting from 10am to 2pm, was painless with 2500-3000 grafts for my temple hairline and crown. What amazed me most was the lack of discomfort afterward. By my friend's wedding just six weeks later, no one noticed the recent transplant. Within a month, I could see visible results, especially in the hairline. Now at the 7-month mark, the improvement is continuous. I credit also the incredible progress to a regimen of Minoxidil, finasteride, and trichosol, with zero side effects which was suggested to my by Dr Portelli himself. Dr. Portelli's frequent follow-ups and updates on progress have been reassuring. For anyone contemplating a similar procedure, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Jean Luc Portelli. He's a true expert who cares about results. The below are some photos before the op, after the op, and the last two photos were taken in October showing the progress.

Stefano Balzan Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Ive been wanting to go ahead with the procedure and i have seen some of his work and was very pleased. The hairline design is very nice and looks quite natural. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure exactly how much because he gives a general quote not per graft, but I would say approximately 1 euro per graft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it might be too early but my donor does not look the same - I have clear demarcation lines from where the grafts where taken when the barber shows me the mirror back of my head its very clear from where they were taken - even with relatively longer hair. I think my skin to hair contrast doesnt help aswell. Also have some cobblestoning/tenting infront which might be my physiology and doubles in the very front row. Obv need to see final result but doesnt look promising. WIll see if I can create a seperate thread with some photos when i get the time. Post your experience so you can track it.

You will see the end result after a full year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
