Hair transplant, Dr. Bisanga or Dr. Hasson:

No problem boris. If you have any questions down the road please ask away. Nothing is too small and/or to complicated to ask. And especially when asking about FUE.:slight_smile:

Hi
Im new to all this. Im trying to choose between the same two doctors but canā€™t seem to make my mind up. Iā€™m provisionally booked into both for mid December. I had a transplant about 9 years ago by the late Dr. Saegar in Canada. He was excellent and the results are great but now I want my hairline and temple area filled in a bit and my hair thickened up a little throughout the front. Itā€™ll be strip that I will be getting done. Can anybody advise roughly how long my hailine will be reddish and will this be noticible. I will have approx 21 days before I have to return to work. My only problem with Hasson is that he is so far away(Iā€™m in Ireland). Because itā€™ll be so close to christmas, he reccomends me leaving the day after surgery. A twelve hour flight for two days(he reccomends this because swelling may start on day 3).If I thought that his results would be of a much higher standard than Dr.Bisangas then Iā€™d go to Hasson. But if Iā€™m going to get more or less the same results then Dr.Bisanga would be so much more convenient. Can anybody help me to try make a more informed decision?. Thanks

Again that is a hard decision for you I know. Both clinics have honest records. Both clinics have excellent standards. I would be hard pressed to pin down which one to pick. Convenience lends you a hand to Bisangaā€¦ and you will not go wrong there. H&W also are equally a place where upon you will get good service. It is a beautiful area in Toronto though.:slight_smile:

Dubhair,
Actually we have a similar case. I am located in Spain and I have yet to make an appointment or to meet any of these 2 docs. AS you well put it, going from Europe to Canada and Vancouver, its not in Montreal, which is on the other side of the wld, is a far stretch it the advantage btw dr. bisanga and hasson is small.
This is the whole point I have been arguing for a while now. I also mentioned some other docs in europe like dr. devorye and dr. mwuamba but so far from the comments and the pics I have seen, it makes me decide to dr. bisanga.
Dubhair, please let me know what you come up with cause I on the same boat as you although you seem to be quite ahead of me in terms of having an appointment and allā€¦

Hairtech,
I wanted to ask you, what can you tell me about dr. jones, I heard he has an excellent track record as well. How does it rate with the rest of doctors on Canada.

HT,

ā€œH&W also are equally a place where upon you will get good service. It is a beautiful area in Toronto though.:-)ā€

It may be beautiful in Toronto but not as beautiful as Vancouver since itā€™s a better overall climate, Vancouver is surrounded by mountains and ocean, and that is where our office is, not in Toronto:)

Boris,

I hear he is good to go to alsoā€¦ I know he has been around for a while.

Jotronic,

I thought I said Vancouverā€¦ that darn Hairsite changed my wordsā€¦ wait wrong site. lol:-D

Thanks for that. I need to make my mind up this weekend but Iā€™m thinking that there is probably not a whole lot between them. If they are both world class then either should be ok. I have to admit my main concern is people noticing that I have had something done afterwards. I have 21 days post op before returning to work, so hopefully that will be ok. If anybody can swy me either way then please do as any constructive, honest advice is very welcome. Iā€™ll check in later. thanks again

I could decide for dr. bisanga after researching some time and checking out this spanish website which show lots of his results, before and after pics and all of them are honest pics and people who post their results. Apparently in spain there are a lot of bald people in proportion to the population. http://foro.ganarpelo.org/index.php?f=23 and also check http://foro.ganarpelo.org/index.php?f=23 and also check Fotos de Antes/DespuĆ©s y Durante el Trasplante - Casos Particulares - Recuperar El Pelo - Foro sobre la caĆ­da del cabello, experiencias y consejos para tener pelo

It could probably be one of the most honest forums I have seen on the internet, of course, at the same level as hairsite.

Good luck amigo.

Itā€™s good that you are doing your research. Depending on where you are in Europe we have several patients that I could contact for you to see if they are open to meeting you in person so that you can see their results. Currently, about half of all of our patients are from Europe, mainly the UK, Italy and Spain with more and more coming from France, Germany and the Netherlands.

As far as anyone knowing you had a hair transplant, after 21 days, I have not had one patient tell me that anyone had ever noticed theyā€™ve had work done. At worst, you will look like you have a mild sunburn or skin rash where the work was done. Even with a donor scar that YOU can see during the healing phase I still say that no one will connect it with a hair transplant.

Ask anyone around you what they know about hair transplants. The first thing that they will think of or say will have something do with plugs. This is because of how you see the subject addressed in the media, on TV and the movies. Itā€™s always the guy that is the comic relief, ā€œthe guy with the plugsā€ which is hardly what your procedure will look like.

Just so you know, all of our results are photographed or video taped using over head fluorescent lighting which is the worst indoor lighting for showing results. This lighting reveals all the weaknesses of any hair transplant so Iā€™m confident in saying that our photos are the best in the industry. What you see is what you get. Same goes for our videos of which the last several that Iā€™ve posted are actually shot in high definition. You will not find more complete or detailed photographic and video documentation from any other clinic.

If youā€™d like to see if we can arrange for a meeting between you and any of our European patients just drop me a line and Iā€™ll see what I can do. You can also try to contact any of our patients in the various European forums on your own to see if anyone is interested in meeting up. Youā€™ll more than likely get a few responders that are open to meeting up with you.

Jotronic,

I would like to get in touch with you. Could you please email me at boris342002@yahoo.com.

Hi guys,
To be absolutely honest, in the spanish website that I referred to before it shows cases from many diff. doctors not just dr. bisanga, they show real cases from dr. devoyre, dr hasson, etc.,
But personally, the best cases that I have seen are from dr. bisanga and dr. hasson.

I agree. But which to choose from. Do I stay in Europe or venture all the way to Canada(14 hours). If both doctors were close to eachother then I think that I would probably go with Hasson(purely based on the amount of info available and that Bisangas consultant basically said that if I didnt go with them then my other choice of Hasson would be an excellent choice). Iā€™ll let you know for sure by Monday whom I choose. I just hate the idea of something going wrong, thats why Iā€™m finding this whole process so difficult. After saying that, I did go to Saegar 9 years ago without any research and basically on one persons reccomendation. It was the best thing that I ever did and if he was still alive then Iā€™d definately go with him. Maybe Iā€™m worrying unneccessarily. My main concern is noticibility afterwards. But only a few days ago somebody commented that I was starting to lose my hair. I have attached a photo of my hair taken today (unstyled) to see if people think that i have enough coverage to hide any post op redness etc.

Thanks

boris - I see you are doing good research. As a balding guy I can very well understand your interest and curiosity.
If you could list your priorities - then it will be easier for others to give some advice.

For example -
1st priority: Hairline density
2nd priority : cost
3rd priority : travel distance

Something like that.

I think you are insane to have HT when you have so much hair already. Have you tried any of the topicals and meds?

Hello Carrot,
My lowest priority is cost.
And my top priorities are hair density and then travel distance. I dont want to travel half a world away for a HT. For now I have made up my mind of 3 docs, Hasson, Armani or Bisanga. Since I am in Spain I would like the doctor and the travel distance to be as short as possible. And I do want FUE done and the best one available.

The problem that I have is that I am not able to make a decision, simply because both of these 3 docs are very good and I dont want to sound like one is crap while the other is great.

I do have to say that I might go for Armani, I just heard he has offices set up in Dubai and I just took a look at his consultation poster for dubai, it might be a bunch of marketing tactics, but I have heard he is perhaps the top doc aroundā€¦

Is he the one who is able to achieve the max. density as he claims to be? Please some help I need it.

Hi Boris,

Iā€™ve decided at this stage to go to Dr.Bisanga. It was between him and Hasson, but I did look at Armani aswell. I spoke to his uk representative Wayne Walton. He didnā€™t make me feel very confident. The thing about Armani is that if you want him to carry out the work himself it costs approx Ā£30,000 sterling for what would cost approx Ā£6500 with bisanga or hasson. And if you want to go to one of his trained technicans it still costs approx Ā£15000(this is for approx 3500 fut. Now what is the point in paying that kind of money for somebody who basically works for armani, when for half the price you can have bisanga and hasson. Im having a fut procedure but from my research bisanga really is supposed to be the best at fue. You should keep doing your research but Iā€™ve found that there really is only so much that you can find out about any of the doctors on the net, apart from these forums,but iā€™ve yet to read anything that would put me off either bisanga or hasson. If travel distance etc was not a problem then i would probably go to hasson, and for one reason only. Because there is more information readily available on his work. But as i said earlier bisanga has a brilliant reputation aswell, so I really cant justify travelling all that way for what will probably be the same result. I will be having my procedure carried out in about 5 weeks. Iā€™ll let you know how i get on. I know exactly what you are going through. Its a huge decision. a few people have told me that i dont need another procedure. will be used to bring my haiichi do admit that i still have a decent head of hair but i know(or at least hope) that after this procedure that i will finally be happy with my hair. Iā€™m getting approx 2500 grafts which will be used to bring my hairline slightly forward and fill in some of my recession and then just thicken it up a bit in general. Does anybody else have an opinion either way on Bisanga? As i said earlier these forums really are the only place to get an honest opinion

Hey Dubhair,
ITs been a long time. I hope you got my msg. I must admit that I was at the same stage a week or so ago, btw. Bisanga and Hason but I recently saw some ad regarding dr. armani, and that he treats hollywood celeb, I know it might be true but the mkting is certainly quite effective.
However, if you say that it costs that much for him to do the whole thing, then forget it, especially if with dr. bisanga you can get it at less the price. I have a big budget, but the amount that you mention is certainly too much.
So you are going for FUE, why not FUT? Could you get me through email on the sites that you have seen that made you make that decision.
Cheers,

Hi Boris,

I will be getting strip done(about 2500 grafts). Yeah Armani really is that expensive. I dont know why. I asked that guy Wayne and he really couldnā€™t give me a satisfactory answer at all. He did mention that he has worked on some hollywood stars, but I donā€™t think that this proves how good he is. Dont get me wrong, by all accounts he is good, but no better than bisanga or hasson. Its a personal choice i suppose.

Hi,

By the way my only concern now is hiding the after effects of my transplant, especially the redness. Anybody any tips. (i wont be having my head shaved at the front for my procedure)
