Thiers Bortot Rodrigues Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Hello everyone, I'm Thiers and I'm here to document my long-awaited hair transplant journey. It's a joy to be here with you all. I’m still in the first month post-op. Choosing Dr. Pittela Why did I choose Dr. Pittela? Although I'm not an NW 7, I was heading towards that level of baldness, with a high degree and feeling a lot of hair loss. Thinking about the future, I wouldn't have much hair left in these areas. So, I analyzed some surgeons who could restore this entire area, even though my budget wasn't the best for this. Even though I live in Florida, I'm Brazilian by birth and found out about Dr. Pittela through social media. I saw his results, which gave me hope for my case. So, for me, it wasn't a problem to go to Brazil, as the whole trip is quite smooth. Preparation for Surgery I traveled to Brazil two days before my procedure to resolve payment issues and to undergo the pre-op blood tests required by the clinic. If you’ve never traveled to Brazil and plan to one day, the trip takes about 12 hours to the state where Dr. Felipe’s clinic is located, which is Espírito Santo, in the city of Vitória, very close to São Paulo. When I arrived in Vitória, I stayed in a hotel 8 minutes away from the clinic, and it was very easy to get there. Surgery Planning During video consultations, I explained to the doctor that I wanted to have a large session in just one day. He told me that my case was extensive and would require two days to cover the entire area. But, considering my budget, which only allowed for one day, he decided to plan the strategy for one day. One Day Before Surgery I went to the clinic, which was 8 minutes away from the hotel, to resolve financial issues and for the doctor to mark the surgery areas. He used the technology from his app, "HairScan," which allowed us to know exactly the number of grafts I would need based on AI. See the photos he sent me. Surgery The surgery was done in one day, with over 7,000 grafts, all taken from my donor area on the head. In the morning, the doctor made the incisions, and I didn't feel much pain, to be honest. During the surgery, they kept me calm and gave me medication to relax, and the day went by quickly. I noticed Felipe's presence throughout the surgery, which lasted about 11 hours. With this number of grafts, it couldn't be any different. I conclude here by expressing my gratitude for having fulfilled this dream. I'm super excited to see how my transplant will develop and will keep you updated during my post-op process. Thank you for your attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Approach Posted 3 hours ago Senior Member Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Although I am ignorant on hairlines height -- It appears doctor definitely pushed-the-envelope with this patient. Personally, I really like it. Also, his temple points will frame his face nicely. Edited 2 hours ago by Approach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
