Regular Member FutureHT1208 Posted January 11 Regular Member Share Posted January 11 Hi All, I have posted before asking who’s basically the best surgeon around and done a lot of research looked at results and I’ve narrowed my choices down as below but struggling to decide between the doctors on my shortlist Couto - initially my first choice but in 6 months he hasn’t even reviewed my case and I guess it could be years before I could even get in with him. pekiner - amazing hairlines from what I’ve seen, however, he doesn’t like to go too low and I do want to reduce the size of my forehead, he said to wait until I’ve been using finasteride for 6 months before reviewing my case. Also gather he doesn’t really do temple points which I may opt for. Currently using topical finasteride do people rate it? The response time isn’t the best which I hear a lot guess he has a long waiting list too but not as long as Couto freitas - this is a more recent pick for me. Some results I’ve seen are absolutely top class and he seems to be aggressive on the hairlines which I like. His availability is next may which I’d be willing to wait til for the right surgeon. Only negative that I know of is that he implants in rows - so is the only negative here that if you have a buzzcut it wouldn’t look great? and finally Loarwong - not sure if he’s rated as highly as the above but seems to knockout good results and seems a very ethical guy ie if someone has a not so great result he goes out of his way to fix it, and he is very responsive to messages - the easiest out of all the clinics I’ve messaged and could also get on with him this year. Negatives for me are I live in the UK and it’s a long long way! And just that will he produce results as good as the other three I’ve mentioned. would really appreciate the advice as I’m struggling! Got plenty of time obviously want to wait a few month to see any changes on finasteride anyway, maybe move on to oral if it may be more effective it’s not something I’ve done massive research on so started on topical finasteride coz of what I’ve heard about side effect on oral . thanks for reading 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Hairy Henderson Posted January 12 Senior Member Share Posted January 12 I also think it depends on what type of work you need done. Some surgeons are better than others depending on NW scale and goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jjalay Posted January 12 Regular Member Share Posted January 12 They are all great choices and you cant go wrong with any of them. Personally i would choose couto because he seems to achieve more with less grafts compared with the other three doctors. But again all 4 seem to produce great results.

This would be my own preference too, fantastic results and Couto is also very economical with grafts. Like you say in your original post the waiting time may be excessive, I guess it then boils down to how long you’re prepared to wait. I prefer Pekiner to De Freitas. Long term as hair thins with age I think they’ll look more natural than rows. Not sure on Larwong he’s very new to me. He’s results seem good on here but he’s not been around long enough for me to make a strong judgment. That’s not to say he’s a great surgeon and only my personal thinking.

You can ask couto about possible cancellation list too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
