It is now 11 months after my second hair transplant procedure. First one was FUT(3400 scalp grafts) and second one was FUE(2300 scalp grafts and 2700 beard grafts). Although I am quite satisfied, I still need some coverage on the temporal region on the sides towards the crown. I would like to go all the way instead of leaving things when its not quite finished :-)

Obviously, I am also worried that I might not have any donor left :-(

Let me know what you guys recommend.

hello Harin,

 

I am confused with Dr Radha & Dr Bansal. Having read th ereview of both.

 

However could you let me know whats was the cost like at Dr Bansals clinic. I am not able to message you in person.

 

Would be great if you could let me know your mail id to connect with you..

 

Desperate for help

 

thanks

I have done HT with both Dr Radha and Eugenix. Refer to my threads and it should be easy to make a decision.

Hello all -

I am back again with some photos updates post 8 months approx post surgery. Overall I am happy with the result and I am not looking for any further sessions. I guess my donar area on the head is already used up and I don't want to go through the trouble of HT for beard hairs BUT you never know ;-)

I did not get any feedback from Dr Radha. I have moved on with my second HT. Refer to my post below

Hey there again,

Attached photos 5 months post op. Couple of photos are taken indoor and rest are taken outdoor. Only slight bother for me at this moment is depleted donor area. I made a mistake by trimming down the donor areas. Will have to be much more careful with my hair cut next time.

Next update after couple of months.

Happy growing !

Regards

I have spent almost 30 minutes but cannot figure out where the goddamn edit button is ! Someone help please

Strange - I am able to edit this post. The irony of it. Why can't I edit my old posts?

It has been exactly 4 months since my HT with Eugenix. I have attached some photos taken today to help fellow forum members make an informed decision.

This is my second HT. First one was with Dr Radha focused purely on the frontal third. Refer to link on my first post.

Wait another 45 days if you can and i will post my results for 4 months progress.

Attached photos of beard and scalp 10 days post op

Can you give us feedback on how your beard area feels and looks post FUE.

Congrats Ashok. Looks good. Will be following your progress.

I will post some photos later tonight or tomorrow

I think it has to do with the fact that Doctors at Eugenix use DHT. People (myself included) are scared when they hear new terms such as DHT even though it's just a modified form of FUE. Who cares, as long as the results are good.

Thanks David. Did you get a chance to read my second comment? Does that look normal to you or did I pull out some grafts ? I have been using saline spray for the first week, I guess that stopped the itching for the first week.

At day 8 of my hair transplant, I started to feel really itchy because of the crusts and I tried to remove some of them when my scalp was dry. Some times I noticed long hair follicles attached to the crusts. Now I am worried I might have pulled the grafts from the root after all the post-op care I did for the first week. I have attached a photo. Experts opinion please.

There was absolutely no bleeding or pain

@Harin - I have just had the transplant done at Eugenix. Out of curiosity, I would like to see your crown results if possible

Note: This is my second HT. You can refer to the below thread for my first HT exp and results.

Hey again !

Everyone who has been following my thread knows that I was actively looking to get my second HT done. Its done now and I hope I don't have to go through a third one again. Its a lot of money, effort and stress(all the post op care and the loss of comfort during sleep, outdoor, etc).

Anyway, this time I decided to go with someone purely based on the results I have seen on another forum member (harin). Dr Pradeep Sethi and Dr Arika Bansal from Eugenix based out of Gurgaon. During the first consultation, I expressed my desire to get full coverage with the same density that I got my first HT (I know it was sub par but wasn't hoping for both better density and full coverage). Dr told me that he doesn't like my hair line density from first HT and wanted to add around 1000 grafts to the front and use another 4000 grafts for the rest of the head. I was pleasantly surprised to know that this can be done. I also made a decision to use as much as grafts as possible for the crown and fill the mid scalp with fewer grafts.

First day -

They were able to extract 1500 grafts from my Right and Left Scalp and used it to cover mostly the Frontal scalp region and parts of mid scalp

Second day-

They extracted 760 grafts from my back scalp and 2740 grafts from my beard and used it to cover the rest of the mid scalp region and crown

Both days, the incisions were done by either Dr Pradeep Sethi or Dr Arika Bansal and the extraction and transplant of grafts were done by other doctors and technicians.

I don't want to go into lot of details but i will try to answer any questions you might have have. Attached photos are taken 4 days after HT.

Overall, I am happy with coverage and density I have got. I believe I got what was promised which is more than what I expected but I would like to hear feedback from senior members.

Edit - The empty area in the shape of semi circle from temple to just below the crown was shaved at the end of my second day surgery compared to the other donor areas which were shaved before the start of first day surgery. I also compared some of my recent photos and I think these are not really empty regions and will start to grow (although they are not so strong hairs and might fall out in the future)

Regards,

Ashok

I know this Doctor is recommended here and I have a planned appointment next week for my HT. Only today, i came across this shocking news article. Does anyone know if this is verified news?

Accused of raping patient, Ajmer doctor sent to prison - Times of India

@Harin,

I responded to your PM.

As requested by other senior members, I have asked Dr Radha for her feedback, I will keep you posted. I personally would like to NOT regret about has/hasn't happened and move on with the next procedure. Any feedback about Dr Suneet Soni is highly appreciated.

Regards,

Ashok

Friends,

Its been 13 months post my first HT with Dr Radha. I have attached the most recent photos with this post.

I have decided to do my second HT as soon as possible. As always, I would like your recommendations and suggestions. As of now, I am considering FUT + BHT with Dr Kapil Dua or Dr Tejinder Bhatti.

By the way, I am placed in Germany now, so would be travelling to India only for HT. If there are cheaper options in Europe, I will consider that as well. I also prefer to go for a mega session rather than multiple smaller ones.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Hello all,

It's been 10 months since my first HT. I have a mixed feeling about the results. Its definitely better than the result after 7 months but could be due to the fact that I started growing hairs longer than usual. This does the trick. However under lighting, you can see through the scalp. I have uploaded several photos. Let me know what you guys think. Happy to listen to your thoughts and any suggestions you might have.

Best regards

Thanks harin. That is the plan, to go for a second HT to cover the frontal 2/3rd. No plans for 3rd HT in near future to cover the crown. Is there a reason you suggest FUE and not FUT?

Hi all,

Back with some recent photos. Sorry, no updates past couple of months since i have not seen a lot of improvement after 4th month.

Feedback, future HT suggestions and hair/beard styling tips appreciated.

Regards,

Ashok

thanks panther for updating , ..... are you taking meds ..... maybe that could be the reason for growth...

 

 

i think your good time starts now .....keeping my finger crossed

No meds. Once you start them, you are dependent on them forever. I would rather live with what i get out of HTs and be done with it;)

I can now clearly differentiate between the transplanted ones and my native hair.

Ashok

Its been a little over three months now and I have recently moved into Germany. I see some growth but I think they are just my old hairs and not the transplanted ones. Reason behind this assumption being i got only the front and some part of mid scalp covered during the session but i see random growth on the crown as well.

Thoughts welcome.

updates please...wanna see pic of scar development... thanks

Here you go. Almost all of the transplanted hairs have fallen. So not posting any pic. You could get a glimpse in the same pic in mirror
