He sorry i have only just seen reply do you have any upto date pictures?
I hope your transplant is what you are expecting.

Did you also get help getting from the airport? I am more worried about suitable transport an hotel in walking distance than the actual surgery!

I have booked for April 2012, all of his work looks exceptional!

Well its been quite a journey! ..
I am into the Ugly Duckling phase.. and i gotta admit.. It JUST Ain't pretty!
But its bearable keeping in mind the bigger picture ..

Anyways .. after returning to my country after my hair transplant i.e. a week after my HT ..

I buzzed my hair with a 0 clip .. (hope i am phrasing this correctly) .. and two weeks following that trimming session I again buzzed my hair with a 0 clip..

Its been a month since I have clipped my hair .. But I guess I would be allowing my hair to grow now..

Anyways .. the better news is that .. I had my hair fall (i.e. implanted grafts).. although not everyone decided to fall off.. some are pretty intact.. and its almost like they are jammed.. but they are growing ..

The transplanted hair have also started to reappear but slowly and steadily and they are definitely very thin at this stage.. I am also having additional growth in my non-implanted regions beneath the hair line on the sides of the temples due to the added use of Finpecia (Finasteride 1mg) and Minoxidil 5% solution .. the appearance right now is very whispy white.. so as things transpire to become better i will continue to post pics ..

The scar area still has some shock loss.. so its kind of visible .. the scar line however is very fine.. and after my hair grows fully it should be well and truly hidden.

Well.. I am looking forward to the next few months of growth as my hair thickens and gets a more full look .. .. Thats it from me for now..

Sorry about the quality of the pics! .. I took it from my smartphone! My cam has gone missing for some time now! ..

Ciao!...

well there are taxis available outside the airport and they can help you get to your destination .. albeit I think you should consult Dr. Madhu's team on this matter.. maybe they could provide you with a pickup car or something .. the hotel (best western jubilee ridge) is really just a 3 - 5 minutes walk from the hair transplant center..

Hope this helps buddy!..

All the best! .. keep us posted as well!

You using An meds ? looking good .

Hello Everyone..

3rd Month Update.. I guess I am just about on time with my growth phase and all.. Almost all of the grafts on the left side of my scalp have fallen off.. few grafts still remain on the right side of my scalp.. I am noticing lots of growth (under the microscope) .. and also the familiar noticeable growth ..

Scar is near invisible now..

Can't wait for the next few months to fly by! ..

Still on Finasteride (finpecia) 1mg daily .. also 5% minoxidil twice daily ..

Congratulations on exiting the ugly duckling phase. your scar is totally unnoticeable and the hair in the back has filled in very well. Even your front and side pictures are looking good.
I guess no one can figure out that you have done HT. from now on its all the growth I guess.

BTW, my HT was one 1 month ahead of you in India as well. Take a look at my website. did you create a website for tracking your progress ?

Hi Everyone..

Scar at the back ... what scar??

I still have few concerns regarding some of the grafts that have not shed that were implanted.

http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.co...like-pain.html

^ My post regarding this matter

These grafts are not growing at all.. For whatever reason they seem to have anchored themselves to my scalp.. (not tightly though) .. I managed to pluck out a couple of these grafts.. they had absolutely no signs of any hair roots .. and they just slid out instead of me having to pull it out with mild force.. I did not however continue to do this for the other grafts, realizing its only my 4th month of HT and the shedding may take place naturally in the next few months.. Because this anomaly is occurring on the right side of my scalp, there is less visible growth on the right section of my front hair line..

Apart from this I am continually monitoring my growth under a hand microscope (not under the sun for obvious reasons) and I see plenty of hair (other than the HT hairs) growing from my scalp.. However this is not quite obviously visible as of yet ..

I am continually consuming finpecia 1mg (finasteride) and applying 5% minox (twice daily) ..

anyways, Find my pictures attached (taken after shower).. Thanks ... and for everyone out there! .. All the best growing !!!
