Hair Transplant Surgery

ISHRS 2019

ISHRS 2019

So today I registered for the ISHRS 2020 Virtual World Congress. That made me realize one thing: I didn’t write my blog of the 2019 one! So this will be a quick post about that.

The 2019 ISHRS World Congress was last November in Bangkok, Thailand. I’d never been there, so I was excited to check out the city. I was also tempted to hop on the plane to the islands and get some much deserved sun and relaxation at the beach, but alas, that was not possible as I was needed back in Porto and had to focus on my work.

Why Travel For Surgery?

Why Travel For Surgery?

We’re an international clinic. Patients contact us from all over the world, all the way from Australia and New Zealand (yep, literally the most distant civilization from where we’re located) to South Africa, to North America, to…well…next door. This is something I take pride in. Our philosophy revolves around very high quality of service and results, not volume.

What's Behind a Great Hairline?

What's Behind a Great Hairline?

The hairline. Easily one of my favourite aspects of hair transplant surgery. It can easily define the quality of a hair transplant (although a great hair transplant is far from being just an excellent hairline) and it changes everything from the moment you decide on where to place it.

Your hair frames your face in such a profound way that a person can dramatically change his or her appearance just by getting a haircut. We’ve all had that “Wow! You got a haircut! I almost didn’t recognize you!” moment from someone we know, or even caused one ourselves with our bold new, avantgarde haircut.

The hairline is in a way, a surgeon’s signature and one of the things that distinguishes a good surgeon from a great one. It is also one of the most important parts of the surgery. Like I’ve mentioned, hairline placement can make or break a hair transplant and has the most potential to dramatically change the patient’s look…for better or worse.

How Hair Transplants Work

How Hair Transplants Work

Hair transplants have progressed a lot over the years. We have gone from being very limited in what we were able to do for patients, doing sometimes painful surgery which would leave ugly scars and unnatural results to virtually undetectable, very natural looking results with short recovery times.
