You have done your research , you have chosen the right doctor , the doctor does no wrong , yet you do not get the results you want - Under what circumstances does a HT Fail - before doing a HT ,are there any check ups / blood tests etc which can point out that a HT might fail??

All the best Krish - its true you are very lucky that you are from vizag - Dr Radha is definately one of the best HT docs in India - So by the way how many grafts did she finally Manage??

Nice Done Dr Bhatti , was it only scalp Hair or any Beard / Body Hair was also used??

Hey Coolbay , Hope the healing Process is coming on well - it would be nice if you could update with some pics , how many grafts you got etc- All the best.

Hello Everyone , after lurking around these forums & taking advice , i have started my regimen , of course on the prescription of a dermatologist - as i am 39 & nearly a norwood 6 with poor donor hair characteristics , i thought of delaying my HT for the time being - My Regimen is 1 mg finex 3 times a week , amexidil 5 % spray 2 times a day , Mintop 10% foam 2 times a day on weekends( these are indian brands - hope their effect is the same) , biotin cap 1 a day - Hope it does help me to improve my donor hair & also some new growth if possible - I want to thank all the mods here who replied to me while i started thinking about my HT & their inputs have been invaluable to me.Will try & document my progress , if i get some good results.

Wow Excellent results by the Meds - I am 40 years old & norwood 6 - Just started the Big 3 around 2 weeks back , i will be happy to get even half the result this guy has.Lucky Chap.

Excellent Work Dr Bhatti - What a Transformation - Do you do FUE even for Norwood 6 / 7 or is Norwood 5 the Limit for FUE.??

Dear CoolBay

All the Best Coolbay , My Hair Loss pattern is exactly the same as yours & am from mumbai , please post your experiences as to how it goes - are they going to use any Body Hair on your scalp or will your donor hair be enough , your donor hair looks good enough ,so your lucky in that sense - All the best & keep us posted to how it goes.

Fantastic Work Dr Radha as always - Looks Totally Natural - Keep up the good work.

Since i might not be a good canditate for a HT due to having thin & weak donor hair , i was wondering if i should go in for stem cell therapy for hair regrowth- I have gone on medications just recently namely the Big 3 to get some sought of improvement - Can i do a stem cell procedure in conjunction with the big 3 - please note that if i was a candidate for a HT , i would not have thought about stem cell at all - Another thing if after sometime , if there is a improvement in my donor hair & i find a good surgeon for HT - will it be possible for me to undergo HT after trying out stem cell therapy - Any & all help will be appreciated.

I usually keep my head shaved , was wondering if its OK to use Nizoral 1% on a shaved head twice a week.

Thanks Nagen for the reply , I appreciate your Honest Opinion , Thats whats this forum is all about , Glad i found it ,instead of getting conned in the market - I am 39 , have lived with Baldness for around 6-8 years now & have embraced it & so has my wife -lol - She thinks i look nice with a Buzz Cut No 1 - So its not a problem for me - But in future if some miracle cure which is easy does come out then i would definately Go for it - Thanks Again Pal.

Thanks for the reply blake - I Myself was pretty sure that i might not be a suitable canditate for Hair Transplant - Am so glad i found this forum , where you can find honest answers from people like you who are really concerned - It stops you getting conned & In India right now there are everyday in the newspapers full page ads related just to hair restoration- Creams , Hair Transplants , Stem Cell Etc - it can get very confusing to take the right decision.

I would abslutely love to discuss more potential hair restoration treatments - Though i have embraced my Baldness for years now & have no problem living with it - But i always wonder what i would look like with more hair - Also at this stage , do you think Minoxidil / rogaine / propecia / nizoral would help in any way ??

Thank You David for your advice - Have taken your suggestion & have done online consultation including sending pics to both Dr Madhu & Dr Radha - Have also put up my pics on another thread ( am i candidate for HT) - do check them & give your views - Thanks once again

Thank You for your advice - Appreciate it

Thanks Aaron for your Honest Opinion - Guess i will have to go back to shaving my head-LOL

I am wondering , am i a diffuse thinner - If so or even if iam not , am i good candidate for HT - Have a look at the pics & advise please - Also will FUE be possible in my case as i like to keep my hair short - These pics are 3 weeks from buzz cut 0.

I am 39 Years , have never done anything about hair loss - Thinking of a transplant in around 6-8 months - I am NW 6 / 7 - Will Rogaine Foam / Minoxidil Help in anyway?? Any replies will be appreciated - Thanks.

Dear Skyway - My Situation is exactly same as yours - been shaving or having a buzz cut for years - But am thinking now , what i would look like with hair - if i have sufficient donor Hair available , i would reconstruct my hairline & some top coverage if possible by FUE - so that gives you the option of keeping the hair very short - I would also suggest you to consult with some surgeons in your area recommended by this forum & see what your option are - All the best.

Hello Everyone - I am 39 Years old from India , I am married with a loving wife & 2 wonderful kids - I started losing hair around 15 - 16 years ago - It was drilled into my head , that since your father is bald , you will go Bald & you can do nadda about it - Wish i had started with Procepia & minoxidil - Would have saved a lot of hair - I am a norwood 7 Now & Buzz it down to 1 or 0 - It looks quite good , at least according to me - I have basically accepted my Baldness & have no problems with it - But sometimes i wonder , what i would look like with some more hair on my head & so just a thought to consider Hair Transplant Surgery.

My Expectations are very realistic & that too only if my donor hair ( considering i am Norwood 7) is sufficient for surgery - My Plan is to go for FUE & reconstruct my Hair Line & some top coverage if possible - Basically i want to go from Norwood 7 to Norwood 3 /4 if possible & then buzz it to 1 or 2 if possible - Please everyone let me have your views on it.

I think this a wonderful forum & i hope to contribute very positively.
