Rasu

Amanda, My scar extends towards the temple, it is not an issue atall and has healed well, i do not have a picture of the donor mate. I am definitely happy with the result as till now and am praying that in a couple of months the scalp should be covered without any gaps.

Dear mates, have attached my 5 mnths post op photo

deeps13, I am not sure if the donour area will permit another strip surgery, i am scared that the donour area hair might become very scarse and the skin might start getting visible, if atall my donour area permits then i do not mind getting another surgery done or else i will be left with only one option(FUE).

Hi jonathan7028, My email is rasuta00@yahoo.com

Its too early to comment on that mate, i will have to wait for atleast 6 months to predict my growth, its been two months now and i can already see the difference.

akuma, Dr.Madhu is definitely a good surgeon. He is comfortable doing FUT and avoids FUE since he feels it is time consuming and very tiring method for him.

sean, Thanks man,your comment has sure made me very happy. Each word in your quote is true and those facts are what i now rely apon. The end results will speak and is now too early to predict anything, am keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

subbu, I did see your pre post op photos. We both have the same scalp area to be covered, we are of the same age too. Lets hope for the best. GOODLUCK........

sriniumma, I have sent you PM

myeddula51, thanks for your quote, as you said i guess i will have to wait, nothing can be concluded in my case until the final results. My strip length was 24 cm, the graft splitup i have mentioned in my post right when i started this thread. I am not sure of my donour density, it could be 80 grafts/cm approx.

RodG, Thanks for your comment, i am keeping my fingers crossed and praying everyday that i get good coverage, as u said nothing can be said for now. Its very tough waiting for the transplanted hairs to grow. My condition is like the cat on a wall, its a 50 50 %, i might get decent density or i might get scarse density, that time only can say.

I am 32 years old. Dr.Pathuri Madhu is the best HT surgeon in South India,i zeroed in on him through this site, since i am Indian i decided to do it from him and also i saw number of his patients who had got good results. The procedure was FUT(strip). My area to be covered is big so he has spread the grafts but still he said that i will get a decent coverage. After 10 days of my procedure i am prescribed to use Finpecia 1mg(tab) and Tugain Foam 5% to retain my native hair. I guess i might have a little of my native hair growing inbetween the transplanted hair which could help in getting a denser coverage and the prescribed medicines will help the native hair grow healthy if at all it grows.

mates, had my hair transplant on 29/01/11 early morning at 7.45am.It was a smooth procedure.I had it done by Dr.Madhu at Hyderabad. Wonderfull staff, hi-tech procedure and a talented doctor. I can comment more about my procedure only after my end results. Total grafts 2605. S=1335 - 1335 hairs D=1100 - 2200 hairs M=170 - 510 hairs I shall keep you guys informed by posting pictures of each month progress. Kindly give me your valuable comments about the density i have been given by the doctor since i am concerned that the grafts are distributed far from each other.

Thanks for your reply mates. I measured the donour area where the doctor had suggested extraction and was happy to see measurement to a length of 30 cmts strip in length, Kindly suggest me normally how many grafts can we get from this strip and what is the receiptent area that can covered in cm/sq with this 30 cm strip.

Gentlemen, I require to cover 10*15 sq cm including the front top of my scalp and the crown. If i opt for 40 hairs per cm/2 then 150*40=6000 hairs, since i have had a transplant long back in 2004 i have a big scar occupying the main donor area, when i now consulted a doctor for transplant he measured the required area of my donor above my existing scar and said that we could expect approx 2000 follicles and also told me that i cannot have any more transplant after this. I have thick curly hair and dense hair area even below the existing scar. My want to finish off with my transplant once and for all, so i am wondering if it is possible to have two strips harvested in one session so that we get sufficient hair grafts to cover my crown too along with my center scalp. Kindly educate me on this: a) Is it possible to extract two strips in a single session and cover the total area without any complications? b) By placing 40 hairs per cm/sq will we get good dense hair without the scalp being visible in broad daylight?

Gentlemen, Happened to stumble apon a site(hairsite.com), saw lots and lots of b4 after photos of patients of Dr.A's clinic at Delhi(India), results were awsome and the doctor(Arvnd Poswa) really seemed to be an expert in hair transplant. Anyone aware of this clinic?? kindly give me your valuable views on this doctor please...

Hi mongoal, Me too am the same position as yours(NW-5).I would be thankfull to u if you can share your procedure experience, doctors name and the cost of your transplant along with your b4 after photos. Thanks in advance..............

Hello members, I require to cover approx 120 cm/2 of my scalp, if i opt for 50 hairs per cm/2 then 120*50=6000 hairs.My question is.... a). How many hairs max can be extracted from a normal donor area using FUE without affecting the donor area? b). How many hairs per cm/2 will give the scalp a good coverage without giving a see through scalp look in broad daylight? Need some light on this.Thank you all.....

Hi patjoe, Dr.Madhu is indeed a good choice but he would normally do only 500 grafts approx for a session if it is FUE, so if you are looking to cover a little bigger portion of your scalp then 500 grafts would do you no good.Getting a date will not be an issue i guess. Feel free to post any more doubts you got....

Hello mates, Its been five months now that i had HT with DHI(Mumbai-India). The experience i had is very very annoying.I had requested for a mega session(3000-4000) and i was very particular about the density, when i spoke to the doctor Dr.ViralDesai and told him that i want thick density and that i would not compromise on that, he convinced me to go for the smallest package(1000 hairs) and see if i could bare the procedure of the operation and then i could proceed with the mega session the next time if i was OK with the procedure and the results. I guess i did not even get 500 grafts and everyone had left even b4 my procedure was over so i could not even question anyone. I feel so much cheated of my money and i had to bare all the post-op blues for nothing.Nothing has changed on my scalp and i am still what i was b4 op. I desperately want my transplant to be done now and i initially contacted AlviArmani , the concerned ppl immediately mailed me and responded to my queries.As far as now the response is good. Now i am a member of this forum and i read a lot of negatives about Armani and i have been trying to contact Dr.PathuriMadhu by mail since he is been recommended by this site but there has been no response from him, how do we trust such unprofessional ppl and trust them for an operation??

Hello again youngandnative, Thanx for your photos, i did compare both your b4 & after photos and thats too many grafts for such a shabby work. Do you know Indian actor SalmanKhan?? Seems like he got his HT done by Dr.AntonioArmani and the result is too good. Your valuable comments please..........

Hi youngandnative, Your transplant pictures sure seems disappointing.How much did it cost you for your procedure? It would be better if you post your before procedure scalp photos so that we get a clear idea of howmuch area of your head had been worked on.

Hi guys, Are you guys aware of the famous Indian actor SalmanKhan? He had done his FUE in Dubai and his results are too good, no one is aware of who the doctor is but sources say that Dr.AntonioArmani is the one who gave the actor such awsome results. Your comments are welcome.......

Hello guys, I was a one last step in going to AntonioArmani for my HT but now am having second thoughts after seeing so much negatives about his work. Can anyone post more before after pictures of Dr.Pathuri Madhu since he is the only Indian doctor recommended by this forum. I will be getting my transplant done soon and i will post my before after pictures.

Hey guys is Dr.AntonioArmani that bad a doctor??I was a one last step to undergo HT by him but i am giving it a thought after seeing so many negatives about him.
