HCH

Hello guys, 

My 2.5 month updates (Before & after haircut). 

Thanks Melvin and congrats on your last HT. 

Your temple points reconstruction is incredible 🤩

Looks good! The added density in the frontal will make a huge difference as well. It's very interesting how most of the extractions came from the left side. I'm sure that was by design with how good Eugenix with managing donor, but interesting none the less.

Follow my Journey with Eugenix and Dr Arika Bansal!

Thank you, actually it's from both sides. The right side was done the day before, luckily i am a good healer.

Btw, i just checked your journey. Your result is fantastic 😍

I also did my 2nd HT with Dr. Arika targeting the crown and adding density behind the hairline.

Mid-scalp is still untouched and probably needs a 3rd HT.

Procedure date: 23, 24/04/2022

HT 1 : 2540 grafts

HT 2 : 2630 grafts

Total: 5170 grafts

I will post another update at the 3rd month mark.

I am really sorry guys for the late updates, was busy preparing for my 2nd HT.

Here are some photos of my 1st HT final result.

Hey Guys,

it's been long time since last update, I decided to wait until the 6th months mark to post my result.

Here's some photos before and after hair cut. I got a nasty pimple no one punched me 😉

Thank you all, the waiting game just started. Hope everything will go as planned.

I didn't want to address the crown as there is a high probability it may expand. I am on finasteride now so it's better to wait for another 6 months and assess its efficacy. Also by this time, i will have an idea about my end result so i can plan accordingly.

Dr. Arika suggested 1500 for the crown but i think 2000 would provide a better density.

7th day update:

I had my 1st wash this morning and most of the scabs are out. My recipient is still red with few dark dots along the hairline.

Donor seems to be very good at this point, i didn't expect that.

Gents,

Follow this whatsapp group if you would like to share your knowledge and experience about different clinics and FUE techniques.

Interesting case Dr, thanks for sharing.

It looks like he has a very poor donor, any reason why you preferred using chest instead of beard hair? 

Yes i was so happy to hear that. Actually, i was planning to try some beard grafts but she said you don't need them

This is an excellent design 10/10 it will serve you now and in the future 👏🏼

I followed your advice even though Dr. Arika was confident i can go for a lower hairline. According to her I still have 5000 in the bank.

Fantastic @HCH! Thanks for sharing the breakdown.

Did they implant into the crown area or just the front?

Also, what nationality are you? Being Caucasian myself, I am keeping a close eye on the non-Indian patient results.

 

No, I preferred not too touch the crown at this stage for several reasons. I am a Lebanese national living in Dubai.

They have many Caucasian cases and now planning to open a branch in Dubai for international patients.

Excellent work ! More grafts than the original plan of 2200. Love the hairline design. No doubts this will become another excellent Eugenix result 🙏

Thanks a lot, actually i changed the design several times. Initially, it was more aggressive and straight then i asked Dr. Arika to curve it slightly up on the temples so i can save some grafts and use it to thicken up my forelock.

Maybe you can notice the difference in this photo.

Congratulations again, I'm sure it's going to be great. And decent hair/graft average helps :)! I imagine they split grafts to get enough single hairs at Eugenix? 

Thanks bro, yes but still i don't have the exact count. I just took a pic of the white board during the surgery.

Dr. Arika extracted few single grafts from behind my ears at the end of the procedure to soften my hairline. 

Guys, here's my new post if you would like to follow my progress.

Hey Guys, 

Finally i did it !!! After 5 years of researching and exploring all non-surgical treatments, I felt confident this time to take the plunge looking to regain my hairline which I lost 10 years ago. Hopefully i won't regret it 😬

About Me
38 years old, diffuse thinner with a high receding hairline and NW6 family history. 
Have been on Min, Derma rolling and Multivitamins for almost 15 months. Recently, i added low dose fin/ 1mg on alternative days (3 Months now with no side effects). you can check my below thread for more details.

Why Dr Arika
Do I need to explain ? Look at her real patient results and make up your conclusion! Simply, she answered all my questions, cleared my doubts and assured me the best result. 

Eugenix Team

Well organized, professional and very responsive. They did their best to make me comfortable and meet my expectation even though they were overloaded.

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to Eugenix team @Abhinay Singh. It was an amazing experience.

Look forward to seeing this 👏

Thanks John for your help and guidance, when are you planning to get it done?

@HCH looking forward to seeing your full journey. I'm thinking of starting a thread on how to get approval for a medical visa. I know it may not be needed by next year, but definitely this year it could be useful.

That's a good idea, actually the process of getting the Indian visa depends on the consulate rules for each country. In my case, i emailed them several times claiming that i am suffering from depression and anxiety 😆They asked me to get a medical report from a local hospital which's really difficult.

Anyway, i guess many guys would be interested and i am happy to share my experience.

I got around 2541 grafts, still waiting to get the breakdown from Abhinay.

Congratulations @HCH and @j1mmy!

Quite a journey in these times! Looking forward to seeing your progress in the coming months!!!

Thanks a lot, will be posting my journey soon  

You choose a great Doctor 👌 Hope you will arrive home safely !

Looking forward to see your progress, the waiting game just started 😬

Congrats too!  Still curious to know who's your Doctor

Actually, i found that travelling time and passing through immigration is more stressing than the surgery itself. It wasn't painful at all specially the anesthesia part, just felt little uncomfortable sleeping on my stomach.

Here is a pic from my surgery.

Hey! How are you doing @HCH ? 

I am fine, what about you? Are you done with your procedure?

Lol, i have a feeling you're getting it done with Eugenix 😉

Wish you a successful one wherever you chose to go.
