Dr. Hilda Alfaro

Dr Hilda Alfaro is a plastic surgeon with her own hair surgery practice in Brasília, Brazil 1. Her site (in Portuguese) gives "14+ anos" of experience without saying since when 1. It says she personally does the diagnosis, draws the hairline, and extracts and implants every follicle 1. It says no other doctor or hired technician does the work 1. The site claims she brought the no-shave FUE Long Hair technique to Brazil and that her clinic is the only one in Brazil offering eyelash transplants 1.

She offers three FUE options: Long Hair, with no shaving; a hybrid, with only the donor area shaved; and traditional FUE for larger bald areas 1. She also offers female hair transplants without shaving, beard, eyebrow and eyelash transplants, and forehead reduction 1. The site does not describe the forehead-reduction method 1. She says she uses a European punch and a Mamba device 1. No punch size is given 1. An anaesthetist works with her, and patients sleep or are under conscious sedation 1. Medical hair-loss treatment includes MMP, laser, microneedling and medication 1.

The site publishes no prices 1. It says the cost depends on the technique, the number of hairs and the complexity of the case, and is set after the consultation 1. It describes the hybrid technique as intermediate in cost 1. Payment is in cash, with a discount, or by credit card in instalments 1.

The consultation is paid, and the site does not quote from photos 1. It offers a free online pre-assessment by WhatsApp 1. After surgery she follows patients up with a dermatologist and a cosmetologist 1. After Long Hair FUE, the site says, patients can return to normal routine within 48 hours 1. The clinic is in the Terraço Shopping, Octogonal Sul, Brasília 1.

She is listed as an aspiring member (Membro aspirante), the junior tier, of the ABCRC, the Brazilian association of hair restoration surgery, under her full name Hilda Maria Oxandabaratz Alfaro Osterne 2. Her site lists the Brazilian Society of Plastic Surgery, a "Sociedade Brasileira de Cirurgia Capilar" and the ABCRC as credentials 1. It gives her licence as CRM-DF 18.103 and names her as the clinic's technical director 1.
