Senior Member Hairy Henderson Posted January 23 Senior Member Share Posted January 23 I was offered Dec 2025 (in person only). Such a downer. I would love to have him do the work with how well he does temples and points, but, waiting 2 years just for an in person is insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, try to stick to a good protocol, oral minox 2.5mg+, oral finasteride and possibly some topicals too. Quit smoking, and try to get a strong donor before the day comes. You will be surprised by how much you can gain before the HT in 2 years. There are people that used dermaroller and dutasteride mesotherapy and regrew hair from nowhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s one of the best in the world so it is what it is, it’s better to wait 2 years for the surgery than wasting 3-4 years for repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to nuke your dht you could use oral dutasteride daily, dut mesotherapy and possibly add some oestrogen medication (used for gender transitioning) to grow some kind of gyno. This will resurrect hair follicles, but it comes with much bigger issues, so play safe and the time will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dont want to transition into a woman to become my hair back, oestrogen medication for hairloss is really an overkill and dangerous maybe.

Senior Member Hairy Henderson Posted January 24 Author Senior Member Share Posted January 24 Don’t need to strengthen with meds or get healthier, I’ve been told by multiple top tier surgeons that I’m an excellent candidate. My loss has been stabilized for a long time. I love Cuotos work but I’m not waiting 2 years and flying half way around the world for an in person consult just to maybe book in the future. High demand, I get it, I was just shocked at no online consult availability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member alopie Posted January 24 Regular Member Share Posted January 24 Check @De Freitas Clinic in Valencia, Couto and Freitas are top surgeons in Spain @De Freitas Clinic, can you help this guy by providing an estimated time for an in-person consultation? Couto's 2 years in Madrid is way too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a bummer Couto's waitlist is that long.. who are you thinking of going with instead? My opinion may not be popular but I find Ferreira’s work much more natural than Couto’s. He seems to do almost always really aggressive work and does not seem to build a long term plan in regards to AGA evolution. Apart from a case here in the forum, Ferreira seems equal if not better at recreating temple points and seems also more conservative building a real long term plan for the patient. Plus the one thing I cannot get over is placing units in straight lines as he thought to De Freitas, indeed they use the same implantation pattern. If hypothetically one would cut his hair really short that would be visible and honestly I wouldn’t be happy after having waited more than 3 years for the operation… However someone that went to Couto may reply talking more about his long term plans… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to bring forward some temple points but they didn’t want to. Nothing too aggressive, so there was simple disagreement on that. Ferreira looked good and was on board, but, am external circumstance caused me to pause my appointment and then I saw a recent rebuilt temple case on here that was not very good. This caused me to pause. So long story short, haven’t decided yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Youth_Again Posted January 24 Regular Member Share Posted January 24 I would be patient, end of the day this will impact your life forever! And luckily you will be able to book the surgery within the next 3-6 months, lots of people cancel last minute. Yes you may have to travel to Spain for the consultation but maybe use that time to plan a trip to Europe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to have surgery with Dr Sethi just before the pandemic. Melbourne was the most locked down city in the world. I had to wait two years before I could even buy a ticket. Patience is everything in a life changing procedure. If Couto’s your man you don’t want to go elsewhere and in two years regret you didn’t wait.

I understand the logic, but, if I can have a comparable surgeon 6-12 months vs 3 years, the timeline can be the deciding factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just needs to mature a little more and to let the contrast between the darker hairs and the skin to fade away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
