Jb185489 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Hello everyone, I had my surgery three weeks ago with Dr Freitas and I wanna give a feedback to the community on this forum to help other with their process. The Overall experience was very very good. The clinic itself was very clean and welcoming. The staff was very kind even if they are not all speaking english, there's always a nurse who speak very well in english, so she's translating everything. Dr De Freitas was very calm, friendly and very professional. Me: I am 31 years old and a NW3, I am from Montréal, Canada. So it was a long way to have the operation, but you have to do what it take when you found the best surgeon for your case. I started losing my hair at 20years old. Since then I’ve lost more ground on my temples till now at a slow pace. I've started finasteride 2 years ago at 1mg everyday.

Regular Member FUEnator Posted February 28 Regular Member Share Posted February 28 Hmmm... I know it shouldnt have an influence on the final result itself (maybe buzzcut later on), but the rows are more like the cheap technician job, rather than known as world class clinic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my case was originally quote 8500euros for 3000 grafts. He finally, after is drawing, decided to do more around 3200 grafts with no extra charges. Finally end up to 3202 grafts.

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted May 7 Moderators Share Posted May 7 Hair growth is kicking in early. This already looks like it's going to be a great result. I hope it is. I like the hair line. It has just enough irregularity to not look like a straight line. 1 Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.
