Care to share what price you paid by both of you? You can IM me. 

I am seeing few doctors names floating associated with Eugenix Hair Sciences clinic but their website only shows 2 doctors:

Dr. Sethi and Dr. Bansal. So they have junior doctors if you select lower level package?

Hello fellow members,

   Last year I bought Dr.Reddy's dutasteride capsules .5MG after my HT with  Dr.Bhatti. I used them for 6 months then I stopped due to quite of bit decrease in libido. 

Since I am no longer taking then I would like to give away free to another fellow member. This is small appreciation of my token to this community. 

I have close to 7 months of supply and these caps are expiring on March'19. I believe you may continue to take them bit longer. 

First person to PM will get them. 

Regards,

u2rock

Hello All,

I had my first HT with Dr. Bhatti back in March'14. You can find my journey with my first HT at below url link:

http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/175048-3875-fue-hair-transplant-dr-bhatti-india-march-19th-2014-a.html

First HT didn't meet my expectation then with help of Dr.Bhatti representatives "Califnornia" and "Shera" with whom I voiced my concern and they put me contact with Dr. Bhatti. Dr. Bhatti looked my latest pics and video conference, where he listened to my concern and bit disappointment in results. He gave me some valid reasons but most importantly he said he will touch my front at NO cost to me to give me fuller look in front. During that time we discussed about 2200-2500 grafts in just frontal area would give me quite of bit density.

I made my appointment with Dr. Bhatti for 26-Dec-17. I traveled from Chicago (US) to Chandigrah, where Dr. Bhatti driver picked me up. I stayed at Hotel Shivalikview . It is average hotel, room are similar to comfort Inn/Holiday Inn. You do get free breakfast and dinner buffet. There was Hotel James which is much better and newly renovated.

HT day:

I arrived at Darling bud clinic. Met with doctor in person and went over the area and how many grafts will need.

Within 30 mins, I was on surgery table/bed where Dr. Bhatti started to work on donor area. Toward the end of harvesting, Dr. informed me that he could only harvest about 1900 grafts without depleting my donor area completely.

Once doctor done with harvesting then lunch break took place.

Hair placing came in picture. I've about 3 techs were working on me at given a time. Dr. Bhatti occasionally stopped by to check-up on me and his staff.

I remember most the staff from my previous HT, couple of them moved to high positions (yayy).

I was in surgery room until 5pm, I was taken to hotel by Dr. Bhatti's driver who happened to be very generous and helpful person.

Next day, I came in for follow-up. My head was washed, showed how to clean and take care of next couple of weeks. I was given a chart which explained when and what to take, clean, spray and other important stuff.

Here is my HT graft count:

Total - 1913

Singles - 348

Doubles - 1143

Triples - 422

Now I have about 1000 grafts left for future transfers.

Hi U2

 

It was really great going through your post and regular update via pics. I am a norwood 4 and just got my HT done from Dr Bhatti a week back - 3000 grafts in frontal and crown. M in the painful and itching period right now, and just waiting for the week to pass by.

 

I think your transplant has shown progress but not sure if the slow speed is something to worry about yet. Will look forward to more updates from you and hope you gain more density soon.

Hello,

Did you ever created a forum for your HT with Dr. Bhatti? How do you feel about your results? Do you have recent pics to share with community?

it look pretty thin. Did the doctor take any responsbility for this?

I haven't heard from doctor yet. In my previous posts, Dr.Bhatti's rep "California" just defended but no action or gave me guidance from that side. Lets see if I hear anything at this point.

Hello,

I am finally attaching pics of final results. My HT was on 19-March-14 with 3875 grafts:

Singles - 779

Doubles - 1705

Triples - 1391

I never took anything after the surgery but at the same time never lost hairs with few here and there.

At this point, I am looking to put more density in frontal and little bit in crown if there are some donor hair available. First time I've got done FUE. Should I consider FUE again?

Do you think my hair density should look like this after 3875 grafts? Pre-surgery pics are on first page.

I'll be doing some homework who is the best and economical at the same time. I don't mind traveling if needed.

Share your thoughts but do not go off topic/subject

Gents,

I've been bit busy lately. I've just passed by 11 month mark. I'll post my recent pictures within few days. I just got new haircut today

tk, really good results. Keep taking those meds and rogaine foam to improve your results.

@Wood:

I am hoping for good results after 12 months. I am going to keep maintain and take medicals for long time. Good luck to you on best results.

@California:

Do you usually relay these comments to Dr.Bhatti either if they are good or not?

I think learning from these comments will benefit him in the long run. If some patients aren't getting some attention from Dr.Bhatti than it means he is lagging in that department. As you know in western culture meeting patients expectation is MUST. I hope he doesn't try to run factory with HT. He does need to provide more patient care and spend more time with patients.

Hi U2

 

Cant advise you on meds (i am a novice myself), but was comparing your pre-op pics to 6 month updates, and I can see a lot of improvement. Probably the results are not per your expectations, but they are definitely not bad. I think in 2-3 months, its gonna get much better.

 

All the best.. and be positive!

 

I have completed 12 weeks post HT, and I guess next 2 months will be crucial. Hoping for the best myself.

I need your input. I've taken generic brand of Finasteride (Finax by Dr.Reddy1MG) from last 6 months (since my HT). I've noticed that my sexual desire has been decreased and so is erection.

I've taken Avodart prior to HT (.5MG) on & off and I never encounter this issue.

I would like to get more hair wiith these mediction but I NEED to my sex drive active

I've stopped taking Finax since Thursday (9/25). I am wondering if I can switch to Dutas .5 MG (Dr.Reedy) right away which is general brand of Avodart. I have Dutas in my possession as well.

Please provide your professional input or comments. Thanks.

Yes I hailed from India about 25 yrs ago to States. I am from Punjab and Ludhiana district.

Nizoral is good option. use twice a week. Its good to hear that you are using Rogaine which will help your grow your HT hair. Finasteride should be taken until you have healthy or full head of hair. You can can .5MG once a day for now and 3 times a week after a year. Do take other vitamins which has NO side effects.

Nice Progress and wish you for best results. I understand you are not putting Rogaine but are you taking any medicine such as Finasteride? You can try dandruff shampoo with Ketoconazole which will help grow your hair. Vitamin B-12 and B-Complex is good for you as well. If you will not take any medicine than overtime you will loose your HT hairs due to higher DHT.

Hello again,

I didn't provide my 5th month status update because there wasn't any major changes.There isn't much change between 4th and 6th month update of my HT but I wanted to provide you status anyway.

I am still taking same medications and applying Rogaine Foam once a day.

I've taken some close-up pictures to show you there aren't any small hairs growing if I am slow responses. I had over 3800 grafts planted but new pictures doesn't show that many.

Feel free to provide your input and comments.

@Ash809:

Yes, its been over 5 months now. I didn't see whole improvement from previous month so I didn't feel like posting pictures and updates. I am still on meds and treating my hair same as past.

I do notice that my implanted hair at left side temple are sticking out than my original hair. I have keep my temple hair bit longer so they don't stick out.

I hope your HT went smooth and good luck on your recovery.

I am currently taking all the above mentioned meds. I was taking minoxidil and Avodart on and off prior to the HT procedure.

woodraider, good luck to you on your HT.

Seems like I am slow responder but I am not worry. If I waited that long for new hair than I can wait another extra 2-3 months. I hope that I get most of my HT hairs grow at new location.

@ Zacbold, seriously? Title of this forum say who did my HT. In case you still didn't get than it was Dr Bhatti in India.

I've looked at few other patients who posted pictures 4 months post HT and their progress bit better than mine. I guess I am slow grower. I don't mind waiting long as I do get really good growth. I also looked at few other posts after 4-6 months HT and their hairline didn't show too many plugs as my pictures do but it could be phase of the HT.

My fingers are crossed

Reath, Looks good. I had my HT from Dr.Bhatti 1 week from you. Looks like your hair are growing faster than mine. I was Norwood V. You can check my progress at:

Best of Luck to you.

Its time again for another update. This is 4 months post HT update. I've growing my hair longer at the same time. I used to have short hair. There is little bit of improvement but nothing major. There is some redness on the frontal area. Sometimes you have see bumps from HT especially when I am working out. All of the numbness is gone.

Rogaine foam 5% at night time (daily)

Finasteride 1MG

1 Biotin

shampoo about 2-3 times a week.

Here are some picture taken couple of days ago and few today with different camera. You can see the difference between them.

Here is million dollar question:

Currently I am taking 1MG of Finasteride.

Should I change to .5MG of Avodart? If I can easily access to it and cost isn't the issue?

I've searched online which does indicate that Avodart .5MG has better results than 1 and 5 MG of Finasteride.

Your feedback will be highly appreciated. Anyone currently taking Avodart or its generic for Hair Loss purpose?

I've seen some new hairs in frontal area and some in crown. There is little bit of improvement but nothing major. I haven't trimmed or shaved my head since last update here. I am trying to grow my hair which provide little more hair on my head. There is some redness on the frontal area. About 70% of the numbness is gone.

Rogaine foam 5% at night time (daily)

Finasteride 1MG

1 Biotin

shampoo about 2-3 times a week.

Here are some picture taken couple of days ago.

2 month status update

I've seen some new hairs in frontal area and some in crown. There is little bit of improvement but nothing major. I do understand I need to wait another 7-10 months before I can see full grow in my HT hairs. I still have numbness on frontal area of the head. Sometimes numbness goes away and other days it will be there.

Rogaine foam 5% at night time (daily)

Finasteride 1MG

1 Biotin
