Hi Sampats, My doctor has asked me to avoid traveling, especially by train in India immediately after the surgery. Don't do the transplant if you do not have sufficient leave. After the FUT, we need to take care of the hair properly for at least 20 days, so avoid traveling after the surgery. Regards, Mihir

Thanks Rod, I will probably consult Dr Radha Rani. Best of luck for your HT. Regards, Mihir

Hi Rod, Thanks for your advice! The thing is that I have budget constraints as it is quite expensive for us in terms of rupees (Indian currency)! I also thought that it would be easier to follow up with a doctor (in case of complications) closer home! However, I am currently taking Finasteride and applying Minoxidil to improve hair density. I may still consider going to Dr Madhu. Any particular reason that you chose Dr Radha Rani over Dr Madhu? Kindly let me know.

David, Thanks for your reply. I have decided to go ahead with the FUT procedure in Mumbai. I have already seen two successful patients of this senior doctor. Maybe, I can add some more information after the procedure for anyone who is from Western India. About FUT vs FUE, I have observed that lot of non-surgeons claim to do successful FUE. I am playing it safe and getting FUT done from a qualified surgeon. I looked for Dr Radha Rani, but again she is in Vizag in eastern India. I think a surgeon closer home would be better for me. If the HT is successful, I will update the information on this forum. Thanks again for your help, Mihir

Hi all, This community has been really helpful to me in deciding to go for HT. I suffer from Norwood VI baldness. I see that only one Indian doctor is recommended here. My question is to senior members/founders: 1. Have you screened any other hair transplant surgeons especially in and around Mumbai? Mumbai being the commercial and entertainment capital of India presents a large market for cosmetic procedures. 2. Dr Madhu sounds great, but it will cost me some money to travel and reside in Hyderabad. It would really help if you have shortlisted any other surgeons in India (Mumbai, Pune). 3. A lot of surgeons that I spoke to in Pune (birth place of Tata Nano) recommend FUE procedure over FUT. They claim that costs are not that different. That contradicts articles on this forum and elsewhere on the net. Need advice! Thank you, Mihir

Hi Mahhong, Your write-up was inspiring. In my case, when I had hair, I took my hair and body for granted and did not take care. My focus was my career and making money. I am still only 29 and am now suffering from grade VI baldness, but I feel younger than ever. I started working out a year ago and manage to turn far more female heads (than when I had hair). When we feel confident about ourselves, our face and body radiates that confidence. Even though I feel good about myself, I am still considering Hair Transplant as an option. With my new-found confidence and and good body, I might feel even better with a successful HT.

BPerfect (Dr Batras hair transplant) is offering cost that is per session rather than per hair graft. They are charging Rs 85000 and the doctor said he could graft 2000 to 2200 hair in that session (depending on the donor area hair density). Are surgeons still charging per Graft? Request your opinions/advice.
