Thanks for the reply.

Swelling is slowly reducing.

Can I wash my donor area with normal water?

Hey Leo,

Finally, the long wtg task of my life is completed.

Now I have to wait for 4 to 5 months for the result.

It was nice experience.

On 2nd day, I got some swelling on forehead.

How long it will remain like that?

Nice work Leo.

How was the experience?

Am travelling tomorrow for my HT.

My HT is on 30th May.

Finally am travelling to Chandigarh. Till now I was waiting to get the hair transplant.

But now really tensed to get it done.

Hoping for the better results. And a good makeover.

Its a big decision of my life till now.

Dear frndz,

I got a reply msg from Dr. Maral abt Body hair.

His reply was "Body hairs do not add more, if donor area gives less than 4000 grafts, we will transfer all the extracted grafts".

After getting this reply, I am little bit scared to go to Turkey. Because if the no. grafts is less than what he has expected, it won't serve the purpose of covering the top scalp.

Please suggest me frndz...

Dear d...,

Thanks for your reply.

My dad is the only bald person in our family.

He has Nw6. My pattern is exactly same as him.

So I feel I would never reach nw7.

And at this stage, going for FUT with scar is not

Agreeable. Coz have average donor area. Which will

Become worse than the current situation.

Hence I have decided to go with FUE.

I am ok even if my crown is not filled. I will b happy if it

Covers front and top with goof density.

I am not taking any medications. Since am not yet

Married, I don't want to take risk by taking it if it creates

Any side effect.

As u can see my donor area is average, I am looking

For a doctor who does BHT also.

I am ready to spend upto 4laks max.

Dear abcd...,

could you please tell me the payment procedure. Since am from India.

How do you pay the doctor. Is there any taxes above 1800euros?

After the first session, does the doctor leaves the donor area sufficient for next sessions?

Dear frndz,

My aim is to fill my front and top portions with atleast 50grafts/cm. With this I am narrowing two doctors with affordable price and better quality.

1. Tejinder Bhatti, Chandigarh, India.

Analysis:

NW6 pattern, Need two sessions

first sesion: 3000 hair grafts and 1000 beard/chest hair to fill hairline, temples and mid scalp.

cost for procedure:

3000 * 75rs = 225000

1000 * 150rs = 150000

12.5% tax = 46875

Total = 421875

cost for stay and flight: 35000

even with the 10%discount, it comes around 4,50,000 rs.

2. Tugrul Maral, Turkey

Analysis: NW5

4000 grafts( exact numbers will be known at the time of procedure)

cost: 1800 euros ( includes stay , medications, pick and drop from Airport, hotel to clinic)

procedure: 154800

Flight charges: 60000, so total it may come around 225000 rs

I dont know whether Dr.Maral considers BHT if sufficient scalp hair is not available at the time of live consulation.

I hereby request all this forum frnz to help me to decide the doctor.

Dear friends,

Thanks for your valuable inputs. Please help me by reading the below message. I am very depressed. Am in a bad stage without marriage.

Below is the consultation history

1. Initially I consulted with Sreedhar Reddy Pothula( Pioneer hair clinic), Bangalore

As per his analysis, he said 1800 grafts can be extracted from the existing donor area.

Meanwhile I had a discussion with one of my friend who had undergone hair transplant by

him. He didnt give any positive comments. The work was also not good. Even after 4 years

the scar at donor area looks bigger.

He does FUT with 45rs/graft.

2. Secondly I consulted with Venkataram mysore, from Bangalore. He gave two options.

a) Once you marry and reach 40yrs of age, you will not think about thise thing as most of

your age friends would be in the same stage. You will not be worrying about hair.

SO you can be like this, with usage some medications to improve it better than now.

b) As per his analysis, he said 2800 to 3000 grafts can be extracted in the first session.

and try to cover the front and half of the top with 35grafts/sq cm.

He suggested me to take few medications to activate the hair growth

in the top and crown area.

He showed me some photos who took the medications and improved his

hair growth on the crown area.

He charges 50rs/graft.

I asked him to show some of his patients who has undergone the hair transplant with him.

He said, most of the patients would not be comfortable to

come ans show their hair. But he said book the surgery by paying 10000rs and we

will try to show some of the patients.

3. Then I searched on internet to find the best doctor to get it analysed

it properly. I checked lot of reviews and profiles in hairestorationnetwork.

There I got three recommended doctors in India.

a. Madhu from Hyderabad

b. Radha rani from Vizag

c. Tejinder Bhatti from Chandigarh ( famous for FUE and BHT)

In this, I shortlisted Radha from Vizag who is better in creating the good hairline.

29th November 13, I went to Vizag to have a consultaion with her.

As per her analysis, she said 3000 grafts can be extracted and that will cover the

front and half of th top with 35grafts/sq cm in first session.

In the second session, 1000 to 1500 grafts can be transplanted on top and crown

area for better look.

For reference you can see the photo on which radha has marked the

area which she would be able to cover in first session.

4. I had sent the photos to Dr.Bhatti. He said he would be able to cover in two sessions.

In first session, 3000 scalp hair and 1000 beard/chest hair. He would be covering the front( with good hairline) and top portion.

As per my analysis, minimum 45grafts/sq cm required to look normal. With my stae of baldness

Crown cannot be filled. I am ok with that. At least front and top portion should

be filled properly.

I work as a software engineer in Bangalore. Not yet married.

So I was worrying about his from 6-7 years. Already I have lost valuable

time of life without enjoying it. In indian family functions you must be knowing

how they look at me and talk about the hair topic always. It has made my life

miserable.

Initially days of my career I didnt have money to spend for this. Now I am settled

with everything except this hair.

Please halp me to come out of this problem.

Thanks for patience

Could any one help me to finalize the hair transplant.....?

Please help me

Hi All,

 

Last week I had visited Vizag for Hair Transplant consulation with Dr.Radha.

Doctor examined my Donor area and Recepient area. Since the Donor area is less and recepient area is more, she said she would be able to extract 3000 grafts. and transplant 35grafts per sq cm.

 

I have attached a photo which shows the actual receipient area ( marked) with the available hair.

 

Please suggest me whether to go ahead for the hair transplant?

Since the density will be 35 grafts per sq cm, am scared that it will look ugly than now.

 

Please reply me urgently.....

Dear dattashedole,

Am also from bangalore. Searching for a good doctor. Were you able to find it?

Thanks

Dear ineedhair,

Could you please update us about your HT results?

have you got transplanted the hair by venkataram mysore?

Thanks,

Thanks David for your suggestions. Definitely I would like to have consultation with the suggested doctors. I will update after completing it.

Dear kokosam,

Thanks for the reply. Actually am from Bangalore, India. As per this community,Doctors Radha, Madhu and Bhatti are recommended. I would like to consult with any one of them.

Dear Eman,

Thanks for the reply. As per your comments, If i get transplant 3000 grafts , I would reach atleast Norwood 3 right?

Which side of the head requires more hairs? on front or top crown?

First off, sorry about your present situation and the depression/anxiety you are experiencing. I will try and answer your questions as best as possible.

 

1.) I really doubt that there is anything to worry about with these medications. If they are something being prescribed/recommended by a physician you are probably okay. I would look them up online to get additional information before you begin any treatment anyway.

 

2.) As long as you have realistic expectations on what this is going to achieve for you....then I'd say it's possible. However, I personally wouldn't be happy without a full head of hair, so I can't say that I'd go through a procedure (Time and Money), to have results that are less than I would want. That would make me even more depressed, and personally I'd rather just shave my head entirely.

 

3.) There are several cases of successful BHT's on these forums. Have a look throughout the various threads....because I certainly think that it is an option for some people. Keep in mind though that at a NW VI, you would need a LOT of coverage on top to cover all that scalp......so again, you need to have fairly realistic expectations before you proceed with ANY procedure.

 

4.) You are not going to get an "accurate" assessment of how successful your procedure is until at least 12 months after. Most people will have noticeable growth by 6-9 months, but I wouldn't say you'd see the final result until 18 months or so post-op!!

 

5.) I'm confused on what is being asked here? Are you asking about the markings they use to map out your hairline/graft placement design, or are you talking about the scar that is left from a hair transplant?!

 

6.) Many patients (myself included) are eligible to receive both FUSS and FUE. Once your FUSS reserves are exhausted, many physicians can get extra grafts from FUE....that they couldn't from the strip procedure. As you mentioned, you also have the possibility of body hair to use on top of the other two.....so you have a few options.

 

The only advice I have for you, is don't jump into this. I'd spend some time in the forums and do some more research before you spend the time and money. I'm not trying to be pessimistic, but based on your consultations with the doctors you've already seen, your options for graft extraction from your head (your donor area) seems limited. It will be important to have REALISTIC expectations. Also, and this is my honest opinion, the physician who told you that he would share patient "befores" and "afters" with you AFTER you booked your procedure, should be eliminated from your list. I wouldn't ever trust a clinic with my head or my money, who couldn't provide me those resources immediately upon my request. A good practice should have ZERO to hide.....so I would urge you to strongly reconsider booking with that particular establishment.

 

Hope that helps a little. Best of luck, and keep us posted on what you decide!

 

Mike

Dear agenteye,

Thank you very much for your valuable detailed reply.

Regarding the 5th question, I was worried about the scar at donor area. The doctor I consulted with told it would remain permanently and it would be visible when we trim the hair. So my doubt is that whether the scar looks bigger and ugly?

And the other thing is, I am not expecting densed hair. Atleast it should not look bad even after my HT. now itself am verymuch less confident and depressed. If it doesn't make me better, I may feel very low abbout myself.

Thank you very much.

Hello all,

Anyone Please help me in this regard. Am very much depressed about life. Not able to concentrate on anything in life. No meeting freinds, Not attending any family functions. Dont have confidence to talk freely in office because always I wear cap.

Dear All,

Am 31yrs Single from Bangalore. I have been suffering from hair loss since 7years. I tried Homeopathic treatment and then used Minoxidil/Mor F for one year. There was no use.

Now my stage has reached to NW6. So I decided to go for HT.

First I consulted with doctor VIMS, they said only 1800 grafts can be extracted. And it can cover the front head. So he suggested not to undergo.

Then I consulted Venkataram Mysore. He investigated for more than 15min. Then he said 2500 to 2800 can be extracted. With this frontal head and partial at top can be covered. He showed some of the photos. They were good.

He asked me to use some of the medicines which activates the hair in back and top of the head. Those lotions were Keratexyl , Q-sera.

The cost per graft is 45rs. and 12.5% tax

Initially we have to pay 10k and book for HT. I asked doctor to show some patients, so that I could get more confidence. Then said he would arrange to dicuss with patients who had undergone HT only after booking for HT.

So I have a confusion whether to undergo transplant or not. So Please suggest me for below queries

1) Are these medicines are harmfull ( Keratexyl and Q-sera lotions)

2) Does it look good if i get transplant only in frontal side of the head?

3) Is body hair transplant successful?

4) How many months required for complete growth which can combable?

5) What will happen to the mark at backside? is it permanent and visible?

6) Is FUE possible after FUT?
