I don't want to sound off-topic, but isn't "Eugenix" an incredibly stupid name to give a business? 

That aside, hope you have good progress in the days and weeks to come. Keep us updated. 

 

 I thought for bald patients results are more important then the name of the business.

Hi All,

Got 3000 grafts done by Dr. Sethi on 4/9/19. Here are some pics immediately after the surgery. Will post more in the next few months.

Work looks clean

outstanding result. you must be thrilled with your new look.

Hey paddy,

I have colored my hair recently that is why you can see less white hairs. Donor area is absolutely fine no numbness or itching. Donor hair is also looking normal. I have attached pics of my donor area in my previous posts. 

However i still have slight numbness in recipient area. No pain though. Pics i have uploaded in my last post it was taken after 3 months and 20 days in 6 days time i will complete four months i will upload few more pics again.

Day 110 pics

Guys quick update on my surgery. Hair is growing as expected. Density is not great but expecting decent density till 5 months is also not right.second last pic i have taken when hair was wet. I let you guys judge my progress.

It will take time for texture to blend in, for me it took close to 12-14 months. So hang in there. Next 2 -3 months you should start seeing some good growth.

Thank you for sharing your experience @harin .  i was hoping it will blend with native hair in 6 months time but i guess i was wrong. Lets see how next 2-3 months pans out. Will keep my thread updated

Slight numbness is still there paddy.texture of hair is slightly different then native hair i hope with time it all blends well

Day 94 update

Day 90 update

Just want to give you guys quick update on my progress. I can see some hairs are growing back in frontal area. Lot of my hairs are coming out gray and that is why it is difficult to capture in pics. I can see lot of small hairs popping out hopefully i will be able to capture it in my four months update . i have attached my  3 month pics.

Thanks for your update ahmedabad_guy.  Your hair has really come good,  in another month or so there should be a really big improvement.

Have you considered taking Biotin or aloe vera or Saw Palmatto, they are all great for good growth strengthing and thickening the hair ?

........ Paddy......

I am taking biotin and aloe vera juice paddy

Thanks for posting this latest update.

Indeed, everything appears to be going exactly as per the typical HT timescale. Now that the most unpleasant phase is pretty much drawing to its close, the good times begin! Eugenix results are always exciting, and so I can only imagine how excellent your results will be in the upcoming months. 

I looked back over this thread, and in particular, the close ups that you included immediate post-op photos. The new hairline is definitely a work of genius. I really like the way that there are 2 or 3 isolated single that hairs have been placed a millimetre or so in front of the hairline, just as is often the case with hairlines prior to hairloss. They've taken ultra-natural appearance extremely seriously, and that is a wonderful thing.

By the way, I met Dr Pradeep Sethi and Dr Arika Bansal when they came over to Manchester, last month. When I mentioned this forum, and also that my native tongue is Gujarati, Dr Pradeep did mention you!

My only question is regarding medication. I've read that you didn't take any medication before the HT. Post op, have you been taking finasteride, minoxidil, or anything else?

Hello @LeftHook 

I am taking finex, multivitamins and have started rogaine foam since last 3 weeks

You will start noticing growth with in next 45-60 days and it will thicken further by 6th month mark, happy days ahead, enjoy the growth. Congratulations again. Consider trimming with No 2 clipper after few weeks, makes ugly duckling phase tolerable.

Thanks for your advise harin. I will get my sides trimmed very soon

Hello All,

Day 60 update

Just want to give you guys some update on my surgery. I have lost approx 90% of my transplanted hair. Slight numbness is still there where hair was implanted. Donor area is completely recovered. So no complains there. Other then that nothing unusual. I have attached my lstest pics . feel free to ask any questions. I will be happy to help if i can

Thanks

@Useless Stuff i can confirm that to you that only one of the doctor will be involved in performing surgery. My surgery was performed by Dr Pradeep Sethi. Initially i was planning to get it done with Dr Arika Bansal but she was busy on the day i wanted to get my HT done. I have chosen Dr Pradeep Sethi. I have spoken to many of their patients who had surgery with Dr Arika Bansal and great results so i was happy to get it done from any of them. As far as i know Dr Arika is not very active on the forums because other then performing surgery she is also incharge of Finance, HR  and their two kids but i have seen she is very dedicated and committed to her work. I got chance to meet and speak to her when she was in london with her family last week.

Day 42 updates

Hello all,

Today i have completed 42 days since my surgery. I can still feel some pain in my recipient area every now and then but it is not bothering me too much. Recipient area is still little bit numb but it is better then 2 weeks ago. I have lost my 80% hair from transplanted area. This is worst part of HT journey. I have attached my current state of my head.

Thanks

Hello Guys,

Time for my one month update. Shedding has been started since last week but still not lost all my transplanted hair. I have heard from other people shedding will continue for one more month so i am expecting by next month i might lose all my transplanted hair.Not looking forward to that but i guess this is the part of the Journey.

Please find my one month pics attached.

wow. Who has performed surgery on him ? Dr Arika or Dr Sethi ?

Hey buddy. All the best. Think my head looks exactly like you. I mean the one before the surgery.

Did you go with option1 or option 2 as I need to know the real difference as so far only difference I can see is 100% incisions done by Dr Sethi/ Bansal in option 1.

Cheers

I went with option 1 and i would recommend all the members who are considering dr pradeep sethi\ dr arika bansal just for your peace of mind. Both doctors are very dedicated & committed to their work they don't compromise in quality but as you might know in India you have to think about people who are on tight budget and that is why they have different packages.

This is my first post on this excellent forum, and I'm thankful to everybody for sharing both their knowledge, experiences, and insights. 

Of course, thank you @ahmedabad_guy for the photos you've shared. Although it's obviously early days, the post op photos (especially the 15 day ones) look excellent. I'm hopeful that once that dreaded shedding phase is done with, and when the newly implanted hairs return, by the 12-18 month mark, your results will be amazing!

Your hair situation is similar to mine in many ways, because even I'm a 35 year old UK based Indian. The difference is that I've already had one HT done when I was 28, and although I've retained my hairline, my crown has recently become notably barren. So it is time for me to consider getting a second HT sometime around mid 2020 (I'd rather the rest of my crown emptied out, rather than getting it worked on now, only for me to see further native hair go). As of now, I'm seriously considering Eugenix. I was previously looking at Hair Palace (in Hungary), but the idea of going with Eugenix has grown (no pun intended) on me a lot, and your initial post covered a lot of those reasons. 

In my flick through some of these forum threads/topics, I think I saw some comment that suggested that Eugenix's patented DHT method is not as unique as suggested, and that it is simply the use of a particular tool that allows the procedure to be given a name other than just normal FUE... but to be honest, that's not something I consider to be an issue at all, because at the end of the day, it's the precision and professionalism of the surgeons and technicians, and the results of the HT that count. Eugenix, as far as I can tell, definitely do have a well reputed team who deliver impressive results.

I will reach out to them towards the end of this year, and I too hope to become on of Eugenix's success stories.

I also look forward to seeing your progress brother. For what it's worth, my gut feeling is that yours will turn out really impressive!

@LeftHook sure mate. If you are in London and work in central then we will meet up for coffee sometime. If you are interested in meeting doctor then feel free to PM him. He is coming to london on 14th June.

Hi Kevin, 

I get where you're coming from (I think :)) and understand as I had similar questions before I signed up with Eugenix for my HT. Specific to Eugenix, I'll share my understanding and I've also seen @Looking for HT, @ahmedabad_guytalk about this. 

Eugenix do HT's in Gurgaon and Mumbai. They have four main doctors in their Gurgaon. And, the packages they offer vary based on how much is the involvement from Dr. Sethi / Dr. Bansal. And, it will always be a doctor carrying out all parts of the transplant except the graft placement (done by technicians under Doctor's supervision). I belive this is the same with most doctors. 

In my case, I've gone for Option 1 (Top package) ,as I have assumed that the results shown here are primarily from Dr. Sethi & Dr. Bansal, as I've read a post by @Melvin-Moderator that the recommendations here are for the doctors and not for the clinics. 

My experience with Dr. Sethi & Dr. Bansal has been good so far and I'll keep the community updated. Hope this gives some clarity on what you're looking for. 

Thanks 

 

@Kevin20 i think @DXB001 has answered your questions. If you still have doubts go to my thread i have covered everything in detail

Or back in the real world, 3. not everyone has the same amount of money to spend but there is still demand in the market for a slightly lower tier of service. 

It really is ridiculous to pretend not to understand this, its complain for the sake of complaining. If money allows I'd certainly be recommending an option with more doctor participation, but its not realistic below a certain price point. The fact is that even if you have the best surgeon in the world located in India they cannot charge the same rates as a top surgeon surgeon in the United States can because of demand and their potential customers willingness to spend, so they ought to act accordingly to market demand. If people want the service and results are good enough to keep customers happy and coming back, there's zero reason to criticise beyond elitism.

If the demand exists and they think they can still provide a reasonable service to more people and make more money, only a complete idiot would pretend there is something wrong with this. Based on results these surgeons easily do the best work in India on top of that, its not even close.

you have absolutely nailed it @JayLDD. I can't agree with you more on this topic. One thing i will add for all the members who are looking for surgeons shortlist your doctors follow their work for at least 6 to 12 to see what kind of results doctors are producing talk to  patients who had surgery done at least 3-4 and then go with full confidence for your surgery without thinking twice. Always remember to speak to the doctors and get everything clarified prior to the surgery.

Yes i will complete month in  three days time. Will upload pics soon.

Yes @Rawkerboi i am not looking forward to the shedding phase. My current hair style looks lot better then before.

Day 16

Back of my head. Hardly noticeable that i had anything done. Remarkable recovery. I am hoping it will get even better by Monday. I am back to work from next Monday. Lets see if someone notices that i had HT done.
