  1. I am sorry to hear that you are not satisfied with your hair transplant & also quite amazed to know that you are not on any medication for preserving your existing hair, may be you have your own reservations, but it is advisable to be on medication. I underwent hair transplant in August 2011 with Dr.Madhu and I am satisfied with my result, you can go through my post by going through the following link: http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/166423-hair-transplant-dr-madhu-10-months-happy-my-results.html I was aware that my existing hair is temporary as it is in the process of balding and doctor advised me to start medication (although the doctor mentioned it is up to me to use)which is working well for me. As far as I remember Dr.Madhu was present during my procedure and as most of us know that skilled & experience technicians across the world usually do the implantations and it was the same for me also. As spanker mentioned & I think Mr.gat4 you are one way unfortunate that, it appears your balding process may be rapid & extensive and the other important aspect is, you are not helping yourself by not taking any medicines. At this point of time as you are appearing concerned , I can only advise you to give a call at the doctor’s office to seek doctors opinion.
  2. Hello everyone, I have enjoyed the fruits of this forum and now it's pay back time, for those who are in my situation. I can say, I have made a right decision in choosing Dr.Madhu, if you find time go through this: I have undergone HT with Dr.Pathuri Madhu in August 2011 after researching well through this forum (thanks to the forum, i made a good decision) and personally meeting few patients who have undergone HT with Dr.Madhu. I was nervous at the start, when i went for a personal consultation i was made to sit in a waiting hall and then i was guided to one of the assistant doctors who explained about the procedure (most of which i already know) . After this, I was guided to Dr.Madhu who examined my donor area, the first thing the doctor asked is 'what are your expectations', I said i wanted to cover the bald area with maximum density to this the doctor explained me by measuring my bald area using a graph paper and explained about the density that can be achieved. The doc explained that my donor characters are moderate and can expect around 2500-3000 grafts with which he can develop the frontal part with moderate density ( hair line was designed). The D-day: As usual I was nervous when i arrived at the clinic, actually Dr.Madhu's clinic has two wings, one for only consultation and the other for surgery. The clinic was neat & clean, i was guided to a preparation room ( i dont remember exactly what the medicines were given as it's been almost 10 months now) my pic were taken, then Dr.Madhu came in drew my hair line and showed me in the mirror, i was ok with that, i was asked any more queries you have, i said I am fine & was eager for the procedure to take over. In the surgical room everything was ready for me, i was made to lie down and was given some shots of LA (little pain). The strip was being harvested and i remember Dr.Madhu asking me If i have any pain, i said i am fine, after the strip was taken Dr.Madhu asked to lie in a face up position and started to give incisions in the recipient area, he was cutting blades with something (which i don't know exactly), he then guided me to the dissection room where I saw a big team of surgical assistants who were busy working with the dissection etc. The doc was accompanied by two-three surgical assistants who he mentioned they have vast experience. Then I was guided to a dental chair where the process of implantation started and the surgical assistants started their work. Dr.Madhu was explaining them something which i could not understand properly. After some time Dr.Madhu implanted the grafts in the hair line and showed me the mirror for final corrections, i raised some queries to lower a little but doc said, better not to lower the hairline further. Finally the doc was able to extract 2790 grafts. The scar at the back also healed well, at the ends it is little bit wide, but that's fine for me coz i don't cut hair too short. I can say to anyone with confidence you can think about Dr.Madhu for HT. The doc is good and very down to earth, and basically he dosen't over promise and always explains about the realities which i liked the most . So folks this is me after 10 months, what can I ask more , i am on finpecia, and minoxidil, nizral shampoo.
