Ya even I felt the same about the density, but eventually I'll be neeeding another HT as I'm just 24 right now and my family has a history of baldness.So will compensate on the next one if this one came out right.
A lot of questions are coming out in this post about the charge per graft. I don't know whether its fine here to discuss about the pricing. The price is clearly mentioned in the doctor's website which is goodbyehairloss.com.
I can give assurance on one thing though, there will be no hidden charges apart from what is mentioned in the website.

Hi,
Today when I had a shower and was trying to dry my hair very carefully I accidently put my towel right over the grafted area and some 8-9 grafted hair fell off with little white bulbs at one end which I could see on my white towel. I'm 19th day post op and I am a little worried about what happened today. Is that Ok? Will those roots grow back again eventually as they didn't fall off by themselves, rather I forced them to fall off.
Please reply.

Thanks Arnolder !!! I hv been looking for ppl like you !!!

I hv seen your picture, indeed its still early to see the result. But anyway it does look good in general.

In Dr Mahadevia website it is state $0.55 per follicle. Let say if 3 hairroots in 1 graft, isit counted as $0.55 X 3 = $1.65 ??

BTW, I hv planned to do the HT with Dr M in july. I still cant decide to go to him.....

PLs check out the reseach I hv done on Dr M.

Hi Lex,

Well before I decided on Dr Mahadevia that was a huge risk on my part as he is not recommended on this forum and also indian doctors have a very bad reputation here.
Also I didn't see any of his patient's results in this forum or some other forum. There were a few but nobody came up with pics more than 4 months post op. Maybe the results were never good. Maybe those ppl never got the time. Lots of questions were there in my mind.
But as I stay in india I didnt have any other option as travelling and going to US,canada etc is always going to be too exorbitant for ppl like me. So took the risk.
As far as my 20 day post op result goes, it looks decent to me. Not as refined a hairline as the other recommended doctors here but can live with that.
Rest waiting for the results. By the way waiting is a very hard thing but everyone undergoing HT has to go through it.
I'm wary about the grafts shedding and somehow I mistakenly forced them to fall off,so need to know from other members here that 20 days post op and grafts shedding because of my mistake,will they grow again or they are dead cos they didn't fall on their own.
Cheers.

I hv emailed Dr Mahadevia about the pricing:

Hi Dr Bishan Mahadevia,
I'm little confused with the pricing in your website. Its stated in your website $0.55 per follicle, in another word, it means if 3 hairroots in 1 graft will cost me $0.55 X 3 hairs= $1.65 per follicle ??

So in my case, u hv suggested 3300 grafts ....does it also mean I'll only get 3300 hairs ??

REPLY:
MY CHARGE PER GRAFT IS IN Rps 25 ( IRRESPECTIVE OF EXCHANGE RATE) ONE GRAFT MAY HAVE 1,2,3 OR 4 HAIRS) . GRAFT MEANS FOLLICULAR UNIT AND DOES NOT MEAN NUMBER OF HAIR. GRAFT OR FOLLICULAR UNIT USUALLY HAS 15% 1 HAIR, 70% 2 HAIRS AND HE REST MAY HAVE 3 AND 5 HAIRS BUT THIS CAN BE VARIABLE AND YOURS CAN BE SAID ONLY AFTER TRICHOSCOPIC EXAMINATION IN PERSON. 3300 GRAFTS MAY HAVE ON AN AVERAGE 6600 HAIRS.

Hi Lex,
Please send me your pic. I just want to compare Doctor's estimation of grafts required for my case with your case.

arnolder, chill. You cannot hurt the grafts at 19 days. So most likely, those hairs will grow back.

Does Dr Mahadevia do dense-packing? The last time I emailed him, he said if I do dense-packing on my back scalp I will later hv lesser donor hair for my frontal hairline.
