M4kn had two surgeries with Jean Luca Portelli at St Mary's Clinic in Malta, 3400 grafts first (including the crown) and 1400 later to lower the corners and square the temples, 4,800 in total. They report paying 2400 EUR for the first and 1200 EUR for the second (in another post, about 2.3k and 1300), with DHI mentioned. M4kn said the first round was "a bit to conservative", hence the second, and described the outcome as "Best Decision I ever made" and "Super happy", with great donor management and one temple growing faster than the other. Some commenters thought the lowered hairline looked straight, which M4kn disputed, saying it looks natural in real life.

The user reports on behalf of their father, who had 3500 grafts with Dr Jean Luc Portelli at St Marys Clinic in Malta in 2024, implanted using DHI over about 7 hours for 3700 euros in total. The father's donor area was described as many single grafts and not very good quality, so topical finasteride and minoxidil were started before surgery. The user says the father is very happy with the results at 5 months and at one year, and calls the doctor very professional and thorough; this is second-hand.

At 10 months he said he was "Super happy with the progress so far" and that the medicine also worked well, and he tells others to "Ask for Dr Portelli!". Some commenters thought the hairstyle in his photos made the hairline look poor, so he re-uploaded them styled differently.

TheMig22 had an FUE with Dr Jean Luc Portelli in April 2025, over two days, with approximately 5,000 grafts focused on the frontal third and mid-scalp.

Growth was noticeable around months 3-4 and at about 10 months he calls the result largely mature, with a natural hairline and an unnoticeable donor area. He took oral minoxidil and finasteride and reports no side effects, and says he is very happy with both the experience and the outcome so far. No price is given.

Ok_Variation2258 had a repair plus 3,500-graft procedure with Dr Portelli at St Mary's Clinic, Malta, in mid-November 2024, over two days, paying 5250 EUR (about 1.5 EUR per graft, noting pricing has likely changed). His first transplant in London in July 2023 (1,200 grafts) had left a weak result with poor hairline design, angulation and density. At 14 months he says Dr Portelli exceeded his expectations and calls the improvement night and day; he got daily check-ins for the first couple of weeks and monthly reports afterwards.

- Careful donor choice after earlier over-harvesting bron ↗
Davzdrav had a second surgery with Dr Portelli in 2025, which he sees as a repair job after being butchered in Turkey by a hair mill. He was first evaluated at 4000+ grafts in November 2024, started finasteride and minoxidil, and had 2150 grafts for 2800 euro, with Dr Portelli extracting from not-yet-harvested areas or denser patches because the donor had been heavily harvested. Posting on day zero, he calls the journey outstanding and says Dr Portelli does 95% of the work alone. No results are shown yet.
