Amazing result

Sorry for your bad experience. What failed? Bad graft survival? It's true that you don't fully know what you're getting into until you do it, but I don't think it's as censored as you make it out to be. There is a Spanish-language forum where most European doctors are discussed (including...

His results seem very good. What was your bad experience?

You can check my post history, I have pics of my minoxidil results. I still have significant crown baldness so that's why I chose Lorenzo - he has the most posted cases of great crown work for high Norwood patients. Early on I got an online consultation from Feriduni, but I realized he doesn't really...

FWIW I am high norwood and considered Feriduni at one point (got an online consultation), but decided against because he just doesn't have many (if any) published cases of good results with major mid/crown work. If you're high norwood, I would recommend looking at Dr. Lorenzo's youtube channel...

Thank you for the reply. Have you had surgery with Lorenzo? Would be curious to hear about your experience.

Curious how you would compare Lorenzo vs. Freitas. I am booked with Lorenzo currently but Freitas is the only other surgeon that I'm tempted to consider.

Depends on exactly what's going on with your hair loss. Have you considered researching doctors who have shown cases that are close to yours? I researched months before choosing my doctor, looking specifically for well-documented cases where patients had the same type of hair loss as I do. Just...

Looks great compared to where you started, do not quit your meds!

Some people just get lazy. It's not fun having to apply minoxidil every day. I'm going for a transplant myself but I still plan to continue minoxidil forever.

He "dialed back" minoxidil, which is probably code for "stopped using". That seems to be the common thread in situations where people lose their gains (and they have trouble copping to being too lazy to continue using minoxidil). I've had good results and have gone MIA for a while simply because...

This. I've had to postpone dates twice with Dr. Lorenzo in Spain. Going insane over here.

That does seem pretty crazy, but...you can see that the frontal density is not amazing. Also she has wavy hair, which I think helps. Other than that it doesn't say anything about her hair caliber. If you look around at the top docs you see some cases like this, I think it's a combination of...

This is in line with what I've discovered through research since last posting in this thread. That is to say, no doctor can currently guarantee a great result. It depends so much on the individual case. Going with someone like Couto can only maximize your chances, but probably no more so than...

@donyell Over a year later...will be heading to Lorenzo in 6 months and would love to hear details of your experience.
