Id be interested in knowing if there are any good FUT surgeons in Malaysia also. I found a list on ISHRS but I dont know if they are any good... Malaysia | International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery

Are there any good FUE surgeons in Indonesia, Malaysia or the Philippines

I started losing my hair in my late teens. I started taking propecia about 10 years ago and it worked for me. My hair loss didnt change much after i stopped it, so maybe it wasnt the propecia. I started eating an impeccable diet and supplementing with wpi protein/vitamins etc. Maybe that helped? Couldn't have hurt. Anyways, I stopped it because i was concerned about the side effects. I wasnt worried about not getting an erection, but the general physiological changes that it may trigger. I think a weak erection may be the least of your worries - who knows what these things do to you. I dont want to scare you, but that is just my opinion: im big into natural living and very skeptical or big pharma - i would never get chemo for cancer; never take a vaccine; i grow my own food etc. I think you should be just as scared of the drugs as the hair loss. Of course, I could be completely wrong. It may do nothing adverse to you, but i guarantee it does something abnormal. For me a HT is far better because its just like a knee or back surgery - no ongoing drugs and chemicals. If you are worried, just stop the drugs and get a HT. Thats just my opinion, however ignorant it is

Wow, what a fantastic job. How much does Dr Doganay charge per FUE graph?

This is exactly how i feel. Id honestly rather be bald than take pills. Now that surgery is an option, I am considering it, and despite the surgery being quite intrusive, I actually consider it more natural than popping pills every day for the rest of my life.

Ive just been reading this thread with great interest and im really not sure what to make of it. The lack of communication sounds terrible, but then they obviously do have the resources to contact you if they have incentive. Perhaps they didnt contact jeets back because his concerns were exaggerated? That appears to be the case to me - i think his hair looks great. Can someone else give me some opinions on what to make of this thread and what they concluded about Dr Prabdeep Sohi from Reviva clinic as i am considering going there. Thanks

Hi Manuel, Congrats, looks like its coming along nicely. I too am looking at going to Chandigarh to see Dr B and i was thinking of hanging around and spending some of my healing time exploring India. Obviously ill be very careful and wont over do it. My travel will consist of seeing and not much doing - no beaches, pubs and heavy drinking etc. - just walking, seeing, taking pictures etc. I will stay in comfortable hotels and be conscious of relaxing and resting when required,Can you give me some tips? This is what i had planned: Day 1: 2500 graph FUE Surgery. Back to the hotel to sleep. Day 2. Check up in morning if required. Relax at hotel. Bandana for some light walks and sightseeing. Day 3. Relax at hotel. Bandana for some walks and more sightseeing Day 4. Wear bandana and maybe fly to another city for some sightseeing. etc etc. until Day 14: Leave india. Wear bandana and maybe see few other countries. Can go to gym and do more strenuous activities.

Hi, thanks again for your reply. I couldn't find the Dr Lorenzo "2 step process" video. You dont have the links do you? I found this video though: It shows an FUE with the donor area completely shaved and the scars barely recognizable. I figure If i get an excellent doctor, I still have the option of shaving concealing both the scars and the balding. Sorry i know i already asked/stated that, but would you agree from this video?

Hi, Thanks for the replies. Lets say I go and get a 2500 graph FUE done this year from a highly reputable surgeon. It will take about 6-7 months for the hair to grow and look good. As I will not to take the drugs, my hair loss will continue, and I may very need another in 12-24 months from now to replace the additional hair ive lost. For arguments sake, lets say i get the 2500 graphs on the front, top and some crown on my head, but then decide against getting another HT. I decide I will shave my head with a 1 blade so that my hair is shaved but the scars on the back of my head are still not visible. The result, I assume, will be that it appears I have simply shaved a basically full head of hair as the front, top and crown will obviously appear to have hair growing, albeit, perhaps with a couple of barely visible patches. Is this theory correct? Im not saying i wont get another HT - I probably will - but im just considering everything.

Hi, Ive been researching and contemplating getting a HT for many years. Im 33. I still havent "pulled the trigger" and still not even sure I will. I have 4 major questions/concerns that I hope can be answered/addressed: 1. Should I wait for a newer, better treatment? I was going to get an FUT 4 years ago because it looked really appealing, but I didnt, and Im glad i didnt because i like to keep my hair short and the newer FUE procedure emerged as a far more appropriate alternative to address my needs. I wonder then: perhaps in 4 more years, will there be something considerably better if i hold off? 2. I dont want to take any drugs or various lotions and would rather be bald than do so. Do i need to take these drugs/lotions? 3. Im currently estimated at needing 2500-3000 graphs. If I get the FUE surgery and my hair loss continues, and for some reason I cant get another HT, will I then have the hair on the back of my head and the hair that has been transplanted on the top/front with strange unorthodox balding areas throughout? That will look even worse than normal balding wont it? And if this is the case, is it possible for me to just change my mind, accept my hair loss and shave it, or will the fue scars be visible with a clean shave? I guess my question is: have others received a HT, realized they needed another HT, but then decided to accept balding and shave it all or onceyou get one you really need to keep them going to "finish the job"? 4. Do others consider that when they are older - 50-70's - they will regret having the hairline of someone in their twenties and perhaps looking somewhat strange?

10 days seems like an awful lot to be confined and lay low? This was what I had planned: Sightseeing for a few days, then procedure. Day 1 post op: Relax most of day. Visit doc if need be. Day 2 post op: Relax. Walks. Day 3 post op: Relax. Walks. Leave hotel briefly. Go somewhere with A/C. Day 4 post op: Relax. Moderate exercise. Easy sightseeing Day 5 post op: Relax. Moderate exercise. Easy sightseeing Day 6 post op: Relax most of day and fly home Day 7 post op:Still flying. Arrive home. Relax. By this, day 7 -Swelling usually has subsided. Redness is faint or absent. The hair transplant looks and feels like a week-old beard. There may be some residual crusting that can be gently scrubbed off (donor area only).

Hi, I too am planning a trip to india for a fue and was hoping to do some sightseeing after the procedure. I realize i might be fatigued for a day or so afterwards, but is sightseeing not possible 48 hours after the surgery for a strong young man? Also at what time can i wear a hat?

Also, can you please google Dr Satinder Singh and Dr Sangay Choden Bhutia in Delhi and visit their site. Id be interested to see what you think of their results? Also, please visit the site of the Reviva clinic who are my second choice: I think their results look very good indeed.

That's really interesting regarding charging per follicle as opposed to graph and I agree the hairlines in some photos look unnatural and pluggy. I contacted him about his price and why it was so cheap as I found it quite disconcerting and his reply was as follows: "It is cheaper because I don't differentiate between local and outside india people, as per price structure. I charge 45 Rs per graft for pt undergoing 1000 or less. 35 Rs per graft for pt 2000 or less and 30 Rs per graft for Pt requiring more than 2000 grafts." Also, ISHRS dont have him listed but his website does. His relpy to that was: "Surgeon has to send annual fees to remain affiliated with ISHRS,perhaps I have not send that." Unforutnely in a business like this, when trust is so important, it really is enough to deter most people.

What do you guys think of these results from ISHRS member Dr Kalia in India: (Link removed by moderator)
