Yeah I am just being cautiously optimistic here. I am still on day 2 so its a long way ahead but my whole idea for the surgery is to give me a good framing view . I had to save my donor hairs which are about average just in case I opt for an FUE down the line to cover a little of the backside hence it was taken in mind regarding that. By cleaner hairline I am taking face framing here which is the main objective. So he advised to get that fixed and focus on that with this surgery esp since I had limited donor supply

Anyways I was only asking questions to get some feedback. Problem is with my vacation being for a month I needed to make sure I have at least have two weeks recovery time and also an experienced surgeon to work on my case So initial 2 weeks I talked to two docs based on referral from a 3rd doctor who is highly regarded. They are definitely not on the recommended surgeons in the network here but you are limited in options so have to trust with based on what the doctor and how confident he can be based on his experience. Doctor I have talked to is in the field for 20 years so that was definitely a big positive. Somehow with FUE I think it's still not as mature in India so I was more focussed on FUT with an experieced surgeon. Most top doctors are good at FUT here cost is pretty OK too I got mine done for 1500 usd which was 1/4th the cost of in the USA.

Hi all I have had hair loss for a few years but it was alarmingly more around 2012-13. I had been on finast/propecia and minoxodil over last one year including some low level laser hair therapy to stabilize my hair loss which worked well. But due to the increased loss of hair already occurred - I had to look for options for a better overall appearance. Anyways I have opted for fut for giving me a cleaner overall hairline for now. I have done my research pretty well and did take recommendations before commiting to the surgery and deciding on the procedure The scar looks pretty alright heading in to day 2 and there is not much pain in fact I can freely move so all good there. My surgery turned out a little complex due to the scalp being vascular which resulted in the grafts popping out But overall I managed to get upto 2500 grafts with a decent coverage so that I have a good framing which was my main objective. Anyways once I think I can post pics I will keep it updated

Well my preference is fue but from what I have been reading it seems FUT gives the better coverage. Is that still true ? The fue doctor did tell me that he would provide a decent coverage for the hairline which is my main target for now. Also I am still not clear if for a first time HT should I go for FUT to maximize coverage for the hairline and maybe down the line go for FUE. Kindly advice - its a dilemma for now. I have two weeks recovery time for FUT which is scheduled for 7th while my FUE is scheduled for 13th so I have yo decide. Both doctors seem pretty good so its about deciding the right step for me

Also I have read through how fue is less scarred even though results are more impressive with FUT for a larger bald area. Not that I am undermining any procedure but its getting hard to decide what is best based on my condition

Hi, I have been suffering from hair loss for an year now. Although things have slowed using propecia I would like to consider hair transplant. I have been categorized as NW 5A I consulted two doctors in Bangalore - One advised to go for FUE with 2500 grafts Other advised to got for FUT and he could get up to 3500 grafts from the scalp Now I have been reading pros n cons of both procedures but would do with some advice on what procedure to go for. What concerns me about FUT is the scar even though I m getting a better yield compared to doing the FUE to cover the bald areas Kindly advice - attached my pics. I need to make a decision soon Ashish
