Hey guys, I had my second hair transplant with Dr. Bruno Ferreira 5 months ago and I want to share my results so far with you. I feel it's only fair considering I've been using this forum to research and make decisions, and I want to give back by providing my review and experience. I'm turning 26 soon, and I've experienced hair loss since I was around 19 in 2018. My hair is thin, so the loss was visible quite soon. The loss started slowly at the crown, and I did caught it early, but was foolish to jump only on Minoxidil, and not Finasteride, after reading too much stuff online about it. Still the only regret in my life so far. Fast forward to 2021, I've finally mustered the courage to jump on Finasteride, but the damage was already done, as I was already a Norwood 5, with a bald spot and a thinned out front... In 2022, after giving Finasteride almost a full year, I've noticed stabilization in my hair loss, which was a win, but there was too much loss to ignore. So I've decided to look into hair transplants. This forum was and still is a one-stop shop for anything hair related, so I've found a bunch of reviews for a bunch of surgeons. I was 24 at the time, so naturally a bunch of surgeons rejected me because of my age. There were a few top surgeons who did think I was a candidate, one of them was Dr. Bruno Ferreira. I've seen some results of his on this forum, but not too many. But he did have some knock outs with thin hair, one of them Mr. Rolandas of course. And I also found that his plan matched my vision of restoring the whole head, front and crown. Other surgeons were hesitant on touching my front. So after a bit of back and forth with him via e-mails, I've decided to bite the bullet and book the first surgery for November 2023. Luckily, I didn't have to wait that long, as there was a cancellation for January 2023, which I jumped on. On the surgery day, I met the team and Dr. Bruno Ferreira. They were all super professional and friendly. Also extremely caring, making sure that I'm comfortable. Ferreira categorized me as a Norwood 5V. We did some measurements, I've had: Around 10000 grafts available for extraction. Quite a bit. ~48-49 micron hair. Fine hair. The plan was: 1st surgery. ~3200 grafts to the crown. I was much more consious about my crown. 2nd surgery. ~3000 grafts to the front, do not lower the hairline. ~800 more grafts to the crown, if needed. 3rd surgery, if needed. A touchup to the front of ~500 grafts. The plan stayed roughly the same as we decided via e-mail. It was go time. I was shaved and my blood pressure was taken. It was quite high because of nerves, so they gave me some valium. Which relaxed me. It was smooth sailing from there. The initial injections were a bit painful, but a dentist appointment is usually much worse lol. Ferreira did the injections, extractions and implantations. The surgery was over 2 days. The lunches tasted awesome and were filling. The team was extremely caring. The most professional and friendly medical personnel I've ever met. After the surgery I went to my hotel to relax. It was done. Then it was the waiting game. The donor healed quickly. The crown was looking good at 5 months already. I'll let the pictures do the talking. Then in December 2023 it was round 2. From the initial plan of 800 grafts to the crown on the 2nd go, we lowered it to 200, to preserve grafts, as it was looking pretty good. I think that's the rationale for being more conservative and doing touch-ups - we save grafts that way. We also did around 3300 grafts to the front. It's looking good at 5 months I think! So that's how it went. I'm very happy with my choice of going with Dr. Bruno Ferreira. I think he did a fantastic job. The personnel was also super accommodating, professional, friendly and helpful. The results I think are looking very good, and I feel much more confident, everyone around me also says that the results are looking awesome. Pictures (if you need more at different angles/conditions, feel free to ask):

Very very good results. I am also booked in for 3 days my only concern is that surgery on day 1 I have been asked to go clinic at 1pm is that normal

Thanks a lot for the reply I will look for the shampoo! My problem will surely be solved if I use the lotion as I used it before the transplant The question is can I use it and will it harm my grafts? Why does the clinic advise me not to use it for six months (I think they are wrong, it is only with natural herbs and a small amount of alcohol tested on my scalp and works great and fast!!!) The sooner I start fighting the dermatitis, the better more chance for a successful final result.. last time I was late and that's why the results were not Good

Day 184 Post Op Update 6 months since my procedure & just had my haircut again. It blends much better with the rest of my hair now & I can happily not style my hair when leaving the house.  Excited to see the continued growth!

He looks promising but again, we dont yet have actual results. There’s one 6 month result that looks decent on Reddit I believe, and that’s about it. Too soon to start throwing his name around at other prospective patient’s expense and risk.    You’ve totally disregarded everything I said about Demirsoy and results elsewhere, yet point to results elsewhere in favour of Dr Altan. That’s not very consistent, is it? I’d be very keen to see more recent Demirsoy cases and hope that the poorer results were a blemish on an otherwise good track record. Like I said, I very nearly went with Demirsoy and he was my first choice for quite a while before going to Eugenix. I used to mention on here a lot, but poorer cases have quashed my confidence in recommending him to others at the moment and I’d personally rather err on the side of caution when it comes to recommending doctors whose work we’ve not seen for a while.
