I didnt go for transplant, but my hair is growing back.

I did the following:

1. Saw a skin doctor for my dandruff problem and shampooing hair every day.

2. Eating Maxone D-ribose L cystrain supplement. I feel this really helps.

3. Stop swimming in chlorine water pool regularly. I used to swim 3 times a week.

4. Exercise in gym more regularly and eat healthier.

My hair is denser and growing back on the balding area.

Hi,

I was caught up with other family matters and have not done it.

Maybe, I wont do it. Had I done it, I think I go for Dr Jas.

Maybe you go first and tell e how.

Progress...

I decided to go with Dr Jas G. He has kindly arranged for me to see his past patient, who highly recommends him and has gone for 2 transplants with him already.

His lovely wife has been very patient with me and removed my doubts.

Just 1 more thing... Dr Jas G charges are RM10 - RM12 per follicle , NOT RM 8

I be doing my hair transplant in March 2016 and will update on the results.

Cheers

Dear Petchski,

Ya.. thanks. I read the thread about Dr Rubin.

Datu Dr Jas G....yup, no mention here...though there is some mention in Smart International Aesthetic - Medical Aesthetics Clinic in Sri Hartamas - WhatClinic.com

But unable to contact the 42 years old reviewer there who said his hair grew....

Meanwhile, I am taking up your advice and do more research. I was planning to do it next week :]

So, how your progress? I am tossing between choosing Dr Ruban's FUT 1300 grafts or Dr Dato Dr Jas G's FUE 3000 grafts in one go.

Is your hair growing now?

Thanks for your answers.

Actually, you guys raised a good question ...how do I know if the doctor cut and transplant 1500 or 3000 hair follicles?

The entire operation takes from 9am - 8pm. But I think the morning is taken with taking out for the hair follicles and cutting holes for the implant and after lunch, the nurses implanting it.

2. Todate, I have only seen before and after photos of the doctor's patient. One after 6 months with FUT and FUE process before, growing well.

3. The doctor has not shown me any patient before and after photos with FUE of 3000 + hairs, citing confidentiality.

4. There are no customer blogs of either of these 2 doctors. Though the FUT doctor did give me a hp of his patient, whom i whatsapp and he expressed satisfaction with his operation.

5. Does a FUE / FUT operation almost always get hair growth? The FUE doctor says his success rate is 95%. True?

?????

Dear all,

I would like to seek your advice.

I am considering between Dr Ruban Nathan and Dato Dr Jasvinderr of Glojas Health Clinic, both in Malaysia.

Dr Ruban proposed FUT for 1300 follicles in one session and charges RM12 per follicle.Total Cost RM16,000

Dr Jas proposed FUE for 3000 follicles in one session and charges RM8 per follicle. Total cost RM24,000. Dr Jas likes to emphasise he is the ONLY Diplomate American Board of Hair Restoration Surgery (DABHRS) in Malaysia.

According to Norton's classification, I am type IV and need 2200-3400 follicles in total for the front and 3400-3800 if with the crown.

My questions:

1. Will doing FUE with 3000 follicles in a single session have high likelihood of survival rates? I read that too long sessions will reduce the survival rates of the follicles.

2. Dr Jas has just open his clinic 6 months, though his staff says he used to practice somewhere else in another clinic. Hence, there is an element of doubt.

3. How creditable is this DABHRS?

4. Dr Ruban credibility

Your advice highly sought.... especially since I am making a decision within the next few days...
