  1. Thanks for the wishes...I also really wish and hope that both of our result turn out to be good.

     

    And its good to hear about your experience with Dr. Radha.

     

    About my experience, I guess you have already read it completely. Dr. Madhu did not himself implant any grafts on me...It was all done by 4 technicians, while Dr. Madhu did come and supervised it. However, removal of donor strip and closing it was completely done by him.

     

    I also did see his techs extracting the grafts, but the idea of seeing from the microscope did not click me at that point of time

     

    Anywayz, lets hope for the wonderful results for both of us.

     

    Thanks for your wishes. What Madhu did and normally does is the minimum that is required by a doctor. But he has shown consistent results and it is possible to find good technicians :) So i am sure that your result will be great. Especially when you say that you got him to correct the hairline so i was good. I have seen some cases from him where the patients had an uneven hairline. I prefer that the doctor insert these grafts because thats the most vital ones. But when you corrected the hairline im sure that you will get a great result. Will continue to follow your progress. Happy growing :)

     

    NB: you were lucky he didnt had any other surgerys that day. So he had more time to you.

  2. Congratz on your hairtransplant. Hope that your result will turn out great. I just read your description of how Madhu performed your surgery. And it made me reflect on some of the things that really was good about my procedure. Radha told me everything that was going to happen prior to the operation and then again during the operation. So i was assure all the time what was going on. She performed most of the procedure herself as i have already wrote. She inserted the frontal grafts herself. And she supervised the one of her tecs that inserted the temporal grafts. And she was in my operating room all the time. Except when i had lunch break. She told me that during surgery she turns off her phone and concentrate 100 % on her patient. She showed me how her tecs extracted the grafts from the donor slip. I had a look myself in the microscope.

  3. rich: the doctor has not taken any samples off me if thats what you mean.

    iv'e only consultet him online.

    but no my hairloss is not THAT much now but in a way its more the thoughts of the futere that makes me sad.

    but in your opinion do you think i would need around 1500 grafts based on my pictures?

     

     

     

    cardel25: i have looked at your pictures. an the results look pretty damn good. BUT! the results you have is because of a transplant and not by the medicine (according to what iv'e can see at your story)

    can you e-mail me cardel on danielkristensen20@hotmail.com so i can ask some questions in danish?

     

    Hi. Thank you very much. My results are gained from meds only. I had my first hairtransplant a week ago so i havent gained much from that yet. The before/after pictures at my profile showes how much they helped. So get on minoxidil and finasterid before considering a HT. You can write me at thcar09@student.sdu.dk in danish if you have any further questions. I can help you get these meds. Best regards Thomas

  4. Hi,

     

    Now that you know that 2 of the technicians are from DHT Clinic it must also add to your confidence of a successful HT. I also had a look at strip taken from your donor site and Doctor Rhada's work looks very neat.

     

    It is my understanding that the technicians are just as important as the surgeon in the whole HT process. I'll send you some photographs when I return home from holiday of my recent follow up visit that I had at DHT Clinic for your information.

     

    Anyway, happy healing and I wish you the best.

     

    Regards

     

    Rod

     

    It def looks very neat. Having meet her and talked to her i have no doubt that the result will look great. She is so determined to do a good job. She have worked herself 1 1/2 year at the DHT clinic. I have attached a picture that shows what Dr. Pathomvanich has to say about her.

  5. As i suspected 2 of her technicians were trained at Dr. Pats DHT Clinic. As a sidenote i can tell you that Vizag is a very beautiful and nice city. I will upload pictures of the city when i return to Denmark. My next update will include pictures from after i get my sutures removed. Im looking forward to that. Right now me and my girlfriend has seen the most of the things there is to see in Vizag so we will enjoy roomservice and relax.

  6. Congratulations, great pictures, it looks like a nice job, I will be watching with intrest as I am about to book with Dr. Madhu for October time but I will await your feedback through your recovery

     

    Thank you - i am sure that she have did a great job. I will keep you updated with frequent pictures. The next ones i will upload will be after getting stiches removed in 3 days time.

  7. I would start them both at the same time as well. And for keeping track on which products work i think that there is a visible difference in the hair characteristics that (perhaps) regrow from those products. So you will be able to see which of them is causing regrowth even though you start at the same time. Minoxidil gives fine soft hairs while regrowed hair caused by finasterid gives much stronger thicker hairs.Thats my opinion.

     

    If you wish to start one them first start with finasterid (propecia).

     

    Please add nizoral to your regimen.

  8. Hi Rod.

     

    I could judge by the color of their skin and their accents that they were of different nationality. I forgot to ask her were her technicians were trained. But i think that some of them were trained at Pats clinic. I will ask her when i get my stiches removed. What supported this idea was her expert tech who did my temples i would estimate her nationality as thai.

     

    I got a treatment that was more than superb. She gave me her cell number and told me to call her at all hours if i had any concerns even though if it was in the middle of the night i shouldnt hesitate to call she said. She would respond to my every phone call. They called my girlfriend to tell her i was fine during surgery she stayed at the hotel Rani set up for us.

    Because that she is a influencial person with friends that have big influence in the city they treat us like royalties.

     

    I really love her patient care and that its not like a hair transplant shop - like some of Madhus patient describe their experience. She takes a lot of time to each person and only did my surgery that day. And when she supervise ones surgery all the time she isnt in the middle of 2-3 more surgerys or having a lot of consultations. I believe that Madhu is charging 3.3 USD pr graft if you want him to concentrate on your surgery alone that day - please correct me if i am wrong.

     

    She also offers to arrange ones trip so you dont have to worry about that. That includes flight tickets and hotel booking.

     

    Thank you for your tip.

  9. Im from Denmark aswell. Buy the generic version of Rogaine - Kirkland minoxidil you can get 6 months supply for 25 USD on ebay. Buy proscar (1000 dkk for a years supply) and cut it to quarters or buy a geniric version of proscar called sanzhos. I do that and you can see on the pictures of my profile that they work. You can buy a pill cutter at any pharmacy. Sanzhos cost 100 dkk for a years supply. Or look into finpecia which is a generic version of propecia. Give it around 9 moths time and reevaluate then if you need a hair transplant. You can benefit a lot from meds which you can also see in my pictures.

  10. Hi all.

     

    I decided on Radha Rani after a lot of consideration and research. I can tell you that she has been trained by Dr. Pat. I am very happy that i took the decision to get a hair transplant from her. She is a sweet, intelligent, warm, caring and a top surgeon. She have replied every mail i send the clinic herself instead of letting one of her assistants do it.

     

    I received 2694 grafts.

    1 hair grafts:628. 2 hair grafts:1970. 3 hair grafts: 96. Total no. of grafts: 2694 FUG.

    Total no. of hair: 4856.

     

    They was placed in my front and my temporal region.

    This is the case described by Radha :

     

    Case: Plan to give a new hairline, fill in the fronto-temporal angles, narrow down the face by transplanting the temples.

     

    In my front region the transplanted hair should give a a density of 50 and my temples the density should be 35. But both numbers will be higher because i had some hairs in that region before. It was hair i regrow thanks to minoxidil so they were thin and not so strong. Rani suggested that 80 % of them will survive. The low rate is because of the hair charakteristika. Normally it wouldnt be a (big) problem inserting hairs next to existing ones.

     

    She was present at all time during my surgery. She inserted all the grafts that was inserted in my frontline which was the most.

    One of her technicians who she referred to as her temporal expert inserted the grafts in that region while Radha supervised her.

     

    The surgery was close to painless. I would rate the pain level at 0.5 on a 0-10 scale. There is close to no swelling and the stiching is very nicely done.

    I can tell you that i slept like a child the same night i had surgery and today me and my girlfriend was out seeing some of Visakhapatnams attractions. Radha helped us a lot we had booked a stay at a hotel that turned out to be awful. She got a friend of her to drive us to the hotel and pick up our stuff and go to one of the best hotels in town which she got us a discount close to 50 % for. Her driver picked us up at the airport when we arrived. She gave me breakfast and dinner at surgery day and dropped me off at the hotel. She have promised to give me 2 years supply of finpecia a generic version of propecia. She supplied me with mild shampoo to use post op. Her charge is 50 Rs. per graft which is approximately 1.1 USD.

     

    All in all it has been a superb experience and i cant recommend her enough. I am looking forward to update you on the process. Please look at my blog if you wish to read about how it has been loosing my hair and combatting to get it back.

  11. Yeah, good price. Let's pray both of us can avoid the HT for a while.

     

    I'm quietly confident I can grow back enough of my temples to use Toppik on them later. They are the worst culprits right now. They really expose the front of my head. Good luck to you too!

     

    I hope for you that you will be able to regrow some of your lost follicles and avoid HT for as long as possible. Looking forward to see your results.

  12. Using my experience with Fin to go by, you are just now getting into the "sweet spot" for results. While my hair loss stopped within the first month, I didn't see real regrowth until about the 8th month. Of course that is when I started Minoxidil, but I think you will see even more improvement as time goes by. I'm praying for you anyways ;). I've read from other peoples experience that some people see thickening for up to 3 years after starting, so stick to your regimen!

     

    I wouldnt mind if you are right :) Thank you for your reply. Nothing in the world could make me stop taking my regimen.

  13. Definite improvement on hairline. Is all this with Kirkland Extra Strength? I can see them new blond hairs growing there

     

    On a side note, my doc's managed to prescribe me some Proscar for ?5. Amazing price. My hair loss treatment is now very cheap.

     

    My hairline regrowth is caused by Kirkland minoxidil. Thats a very nice price for proscar. Good luck with it :)
