Hi. Does anyone have any experience with Dr Epameinondas Bonaros? I know that his clinic has posted some of their results on these forums but I've yet to find any feedback from actual patients. Cheers.

No one? I was really hoping to hear from anyone who has knowledge of the clinic. I've yet to find any bad reviews but I would still like more to go on. Any advice is most welcome. Cheers.

His work looks good. I’ll contact him to ask if he can ask some patients if they are willing to share their journey.

I had a transplant with Dr Bonaros on the 1st of March.

My experience since the first consultation, to the follow up experience, to the actual transplant has so far been second to none.

I’m just over 2 weeks out from the transplant so far too early to post actual results but so far I’m loving the work.

I was planning to share my full experience but just have not had a chance to do so yet. I will create a separate thread over the next few days with full before, during and after photos.

In the meantime feel free to ask me any questions and if you are local I’m happy to let you see my graft placement in person.

Had a procedure on 14th April 2022, (approx 1750 grafts) almost 12 months for me now with fantastic results…. From my experience from start to finish, the WhatsApp messages, pre and post aftercare, concerns and issues I had, he and his team were very accommodating and reassuring.

I cannot speak more highly of the overall experience from the day I arrived, the actual procedure itself and follow ups every quarter over whatsapp. After my initial month had so much hair coming through which was really exciting, over thr next few months some of these hairs fell out but was shocked at how much hairs actually remained and have done so since. This very small and in my eyes priceless procedure has massively improved the quality of my day to day life, confidence and overall well being. Was worth every saved penny and wish I had just pulled the trigger sooner. After having 2 other consultations, Dr Bonaros gets a 10/10 from me

That’s great to hear Godzilla. I’ve just recently had my transplant with Dr Bonaros and my experience has been the same so far.

Would you be happy to share before and after photos?

That's encouraging. I'm glad that you've had a good result so far.

That would be great. I look forward to seeing it.

In the meantime feel free to ask me any questions and if you are local I’m happy to let you see my graft placement in person.
Thank you. And thanks for getting in touch. All the best.

That's really great. It's good to hear that you got a good result. If you can, please share some photos, but thanks for letting us know how you got on. All the best.

yes I will try get some photos up of before and after. What also gave me the reassurance was he was the only dr that during consultation advised against taking any more grafts than I needed, it was an option over our messaging but ultimatum said he would review on day as to weather I needed it not to satisfy density I was looking to achieve. The other consultancy’s when asked didn’t hesitate to add the extra cost and agree to this without even seeing me in person. I’ll be due my 12 month check in a couple months, really can’t believe it’s been a year.

Sorry took so long, see photos on the day and my photos over last 10-11months. I never really went through a significant shedding phase and was quite lucky to have kept majority of my initial
Baby hairs however from what I can say the rate at which they grew varied some remained almost dormant and other areas grew the same rate as my non transplanted hair. After about 6 months I was ready for my first actual haircut once transplanted hair was similar length.. first time I’ve been able to slick my hair back or up. Hope this helps

Wow Godzilla that’s an amazing result and gives me great hope.

I’m currently exactly 4 weeks post op from Dr Banaros and like you not experienced any significant shedding so far. As I’m early still got that potential shed time to come.

Quick questions -

1) You said the hair that did not shed some remained dormant while others grew at the same rate as your non transplanted hair. Did the dormant ones eventually grow?

2) Approx what percentage of transplanted hairs do you think were shed in the shedding phase?

Thanks

Yes the dormant ones eventually fell out and grew in. I would estimate 40% actually shed, the rest remained and just took a lot longer to grow in compared to my natural hair. I had been taking finasteride, biotin, vit D, magnesium etc well before my transplant and Dr Bonaros had commented that my grafts had taken really well at each checkup with great results so that could have been a factor.

Looks very good. Would you be able to document your journey in the patient section. It will help others considering Dr Bonaros.
