Regular Member eladnm Posted February 16 Regular Member Share Posted February 16 (edited) I am looking for an hair transplant surgeon in Bangkok for this July.. I was in touch with Dr Laorwong for a few months and now when I try to finally book the date with him and is not responding.. I am looking now at Dr Pathomvanich who is one of the most experienced doctors in the world and I wanted to get some experiences from those who had a surgery with him. There are very few reviews of him here even though is clinic has been around for many many years. I think most people go with Laorwong because he provides good results with 80 Baht a graft while Dr Pathomvanich charges around 120 Baht. I personally do not mind to pay the extra if it's worth it as my hair is curly and the extraction is more challenging. I would like to hear your opinion. I personally impressed by him when watching this video Edited February 16 by eladnm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally impressed by him when watching this video dr Laorwong and dr bonus we’re trained by dr path. Work will be close to same but personally I like dr Laorwong and dr bonus work a bit better. They both do their own extractions . I don’t think Dr path does his own 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member shiba1985 Posted February 16 Senior Member Share Posted February 16 curly hair by itself is not what makes the case hard. curly hair with different skin types. In fact some curly hair is the easiest to extract because of skin property that facilitates the extraction process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The doctor I visited in Turkey stopped in the middle of the extraction and said the hair is c shape and he is not trained for that.. 56 minutes ago, shiba1985 said: i do not know her personally. you have to ask her directly. she does not seem like the kind of person that would lie to you to get you as a patient. she has many years of experience and her work is one of my favorites.

That is a blessing. i rather have a doctor stop the surgery no matter how great a loss from plane tickets etc then buthcer the donor area. That is commendable. I think she is better than Dr Pathomvanich personally. Edited February 16 by shiba1985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted February 16 Moderators Share Posted February 16 Hair that is C shaped under the skin is very hard to work with. It's hard to get the grafts out intact because of the curl. You can end up with poor growth if too many of the follicle roots have been cut. You usually need to use a larger punch size which can leave larger punch dot scars and you need to space the punches further apart so you and up with a lower graft count.

In your case its better to consider fut and not fue to avoid high transection rate and major difficulties to extract the grafts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I read, it should not be an issue as an hybrid punch can be used with 0.95mm and keep the transection rate at a low level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, but will an fut make a big diffrence in the total graft count? My main concern with fut is the recovery time and the scar it leaves as I cut my hair short. My donor area is average and I need 3000 grafts..what surgeon is most skilled for my case do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is that sometimes with curly hair the direction of the follicle under the skin is actually unpredictable. Imo it doesnt worth it to destroy precious grafts by doing fue is such cases.
