On the doctor's website, he says FUT is a more effective procedure for transplantation than FUE, how far is this correct? Have you experienced both FUE and FUT? sorry for so many questions and I know if I go through some of the threads I would know the difference but still wanted to know from your side.

Thats really nice to know, even I will be going for a consultation to Dr.Madhu's some time this week, will keep you updated of anything I feel you should know, hope the same from you too my email id is vicky27384@gmail.com.

Hi santosh443, could you give me some details as in what difference will it make if its shaven, I'm guessing a shaved head is better, anyways, wanted to know what might happen if you opt of it without shaving the head. Vivek

This puts me so much at ease now, thanks for those inspiring words s2thoudriver. You rightly said, I need to sit down and think about it, how bad it is affecting me and how badly I need it. As a matter of fact I have been deliberating over this for quite some time but never really came this close, now is the time probably, it is 'nut up, or shut up' moment .

Thanks for your reply s2thoudriver. My donor area is pretty thick. However, I'm still in two minds over it, will it be worth it?..I've never been under any long term medication nor got any surgery done yet, so it sounds a bit scary, especially when I think of those medicines to be taken for prolonged time periods and their side affects, not to mention the effectiveness of this procedure.

Hey folks, I've been a long time lurker on this forum, never tried even posting anything. However, now I feel the time has come to start the process, yes I'm considering a hair transplant done finally after convincing my folks. My hair has always been thin and the hairline started receeding when I was 20, and now I kinda feel it has stopped since like 4-5 years atleast (I'm 28 now). However, many people say I don't really need an HT since it looks ok, but only I know what kind of embarassment I've to go through in situations like if I'm in a swimming pool or riding on my bike without a helmet (pillion riding). I'm sure many of you would agree with me on this. So after a lot of dilly dallying, I've finally decided to go for a hair transplant procedure, since now I have the much needed time and funds for it. The help I need from you folks is I will post the pics of my current hairline and scalp and would request you knowledgeable folks to advice me on the kind of technique I should go for (FUE/FUT), the appox. time it would take, number of sessions and also the approx. cost if possible, and any other factors that I should consider. Please also know that I have no medical complications/allergies. I stay in Hyderabad, India, and from the list of recommended doctors on this forum, I've decided to go to Dr.Madhu's clinic. Haven't consulted any of the doctors yet, thought I would first consult you people before going in for a consultation too. Thanks, Vivek
