Hi there
After much research on this website and others I decided to undergo HT with Dr Radha. I had emailed pictures to a few surgeons within SE Asia and all said I was progressing towards Norwood 5 and suggested I have 2500 to 3000 grafts.
As has already been stated by many others, Dr Radha is a wonderful and very professional person. She did not make unrealistic promises or claims and explained each step of the procedure clearly and answered all my questions and concerns.
I explained that I did not wish to look like I was 20 again but rather fill in the area I have left. She thought this to be a sensible idea and a better use of the grafts allowing for a thicker coverage.
I have nothing new to add to the experience of the procedure that has not already be said except to confirm that at all times I felt safe and well cared for. At no time did I experience any extra discomfort. I chose the local vegetarian lunch which was good, I stayed at Budhill Park hotel which is perfectly fine. Internet could be better there but everything else was absolutely fine. I have paid more to stay in worse.
Final transplant count as follows;
1 hair - 662
2 hair - 2140
3 hair - 420
I also bought Finasteride 1mg and have started taking them but will probably only take it every other day. See how that goes and then maybe increase the dosage.
So in conclusion; as has been stated many times before, Dr Radha is a truly wonderful surgeon and I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone.
I will try to update pictures weekly so that you can see how the procedure went.
(have just edited post, had wrong transplant count, now correct)
