  1. Ahmed. I would recommend Budhil Park hotel. Book it from Makemytrip along with your flight and you should get a nice deal. Hotel is nice with great food and was trying local food outdoor when i was there for 3 days. WIth regards to outcome i dont know much as this is my first HT. Rod has helped me a lot to make a call . Also i didnt feel madhu was that hands on in terms of performing the surgery. Loved the way Dr Radha handles people and very caring.
  2. Hi Ahmed, She charges Rs 35 for FUE per graft. It is better to get the recipient area shaved to bare minimum to have better results rather than having long hair. Swelling is very rare and depends on person to person. I didn't have any swelling and had my surgery on Friday and was back to work on Monday.
  3. Dr Radha does have a website. It was down for sometime .Its back up now. Radha International Institute of Hair Transplant Send her an email and she should respond to all your questions.
  4. I would say you can have a check with Dr Radha as well. I just got my HT done with her. Hit me up if you need to know anything.
  5. Hi All, Have updated the post op photos. Will update my 1 week photos tomorrow. @Rod : I agree mate. Thats the reason the doc didnt want to do a section in the middle of the crown and the front hairline and get them saved using medication.
  6. Hi All, Been stuck with loads of work and didn't find the time to write this up.Wanted to post the experience of my first HT which i underwent on feb 17 at RHIIT. Dr Radha lives up to the reputation. Absolutely blown over with the way she handles patients compared to what i have seen with other HT surgeons with whom i have had consultation's. Day 1 (16th Feb) : Got on a plane from Bangalore to Vizag. Went to the clinic at 4:30 and had a 1hour session where we spoke on the planned grafts, area coverage , hairline , density packing of the frontal hairline , medication post surgery & got all my doubts and questions that were on my mind. I was give betadine shampoo to be applied before bedtime. Day 2 (17th Feb) : Woke up and had another round of shampoo applied and off to the clinic.Had the surgery start at 9am. had some measurements done and the strip was started . With the donor density and scalp laxity. We had an expectation of abt 2500 to 2800 grafts which had actually put me off thinking it might not be enough to cover the entire area. At about 11:30 we had been done with the strip and the team of assistants we hard at work splitting up the grafts. I was given set of tablets at this time and asked to relax. Had a light lunch and at 1:30 we started again. My hairline was marked before the extraction of the strip. The crown area was marked and divided into sections.I was given the final count of grafts that were extracted and we had 3354 grafts in total. In my case we had lots of single units of abt 1000 grafts , 2200 Doubles and remaining triples.I had a small area in between my crown and the vertex line that had good coverage and had planned not to fiddle with that area and retain it and treat it with medicines. Frontal was done completely by Dr radha and took abt 3 hrs. Then began the most difficult 3hrs (Crown). This is where there was a technician from Thailand who was assisting Dr Radha perform my crown which each of them working on one section at a time and working the various angles needed to get a even cover. i think she was from the DHT clinic from Thailand. Have asked doctor on more details. Finally the surgery got over at 6:30 pm and was driven back to the hotel by Dr Radha and was given few painkillers and antibiotics for the night and told all precautions to take while sleeping. Had kinda of a ragged night with more concern on how i slept with the head bandaged and pain. Slept for abt 4-5 hrs and woke up at 6am . Day 3 (18th Feb) : Went to the clinic at 8:30 and was greeted by doctor.She had a complete checkup of the grafts and the sutures. This was the time they gave me my first hair wash after the HT. The staff we very good in answering all my question on how i need to do this once i get back home. Got all my medication prescribed and had a nice scarf. Came back home with a great feeling. Special thanks to RodG who helped me a lot in the background and to all the members here who had some really very important views on HT. Posted the photos on my blog.. Little confused on how to work with the controls there apologies for that. Hair Restoration Site for hiflyer
  7. Hes given an idea to perform both together. With FUT for abt 3000 grafts and the remaining with FUE. Plan would be to start with the Strip in the morning and do the FUE in the afternoon in one long sitting. yep on meds for 3 weeks now. Finax and folliderm. Will post pics soon..
  8. Hi Guys, I have hair fall due to genetic factors and have lost quite a lot of hair now. I recently visited Dr Venkatram Mysore for a consultation on getting some kinda of solution to my problem.. hes suggested that i would need 1200 to 1600 grafts for my frontal areas and needs 2000 to 2200 grafts for my vertex. Two questions are constantly ringing in my head atm. 1) Does anyone have any previous experience with Dr Venkat. 2) Hes suggested that we go for an FUT along with FUE . Where in 3000 approx can be harvested using the Strip and remaining in done using FUE. Doctor looked pretty good during the interaction with me. Im not kinda confused with the few opinions that i read in the forum. Would be wonderful if some opinions can be given.
