Wow 😮 that’s all I can say

 

I’ve seen dr umars body hair transplant results that he posts frequently on forums and this looks a lot more natural (although the pics aren’t that great). The patients hair characteristics might also play a role too.

 

are there more clear photos of the beard? I’m curious as to what it looks like close up with so many grafts

Thank you for your post and appreciation! We have collected some more pictures from his social media. You can have a look at them. However, we shall post clear pictures when he comes to meet us.

The number of grafts on this is certainly impressive. I dont recall seeing anything like it before. 

 

Because it is such a special case, I would expect much much better documentation. Most of the photos have the resolution, literally, of my cell phone (flip phone), back in 2005.  

 

I am glad the pt is happy tho. Congrats to him. 

The resolutions are really of poor standards.  (The case was done in 2012-13, after two years of our first hair restoration surgery in 2010 February 28.)

We choose to post this case to declare that if right kind of instrumentations are  used then a lot of grafts can be extracted, planted and grown. More the number of grafts ( if handled well during extraction and plantation), better the chances of covering larger areas with cosmetically acceptable density.

That’s a shame, this is a hall of fame case. I’m glad the patient is enjoying his new hair and reaping the benefits. 

The efforts of 2.5 years and the ultimate results changed the life course of the patient as well as his doctors (me and my wife). He entered into his childhood dream passion, movies and stage singing. His gratefulness and blessings are beyond measure.

His doctors (we), realised that they should be doing only one thing, so that they can give the best out of them in one thing. They parted with rest of their dermatology and cosmetic practices of 5 years, which was quite established. With their one pointed focus they are happy that they are  producing life changing results which gives a lot of gratification. If they would have been doing many cosmetic procedures then they would have become mediocre of themselves.

What about the crown? No shots of the crown?

At the outset, sorry for lack of a great HD pic of the crown! As I have mentioned earlier, the patient has entered into entertainment industry and is not willing to show up and reveal his bald past to the directors and his current peers.

I have managed to pull out one screenshot pic of his back from one of his short movies. I will definitely take a good pic of his crown and post once he pays me a visit in near future.

Do you have any video? These are spectacular results.

Dear Melvin, 

I am sorry, I don't have the video! The patient has entered into entertainment industry so unwilling for a public show up.

Very interesting case. I’m happy it has worked out for this young woman.

 

for LPP you stated it is best to see a 2 year remission. What about alopecia areata? How long should one wait before getting a transplant following the last instance ?

@PlzRespond

It is always better if the remission period is very long. I mean if it is more than 5 years then it is very good. If it is 2 years then it might be unpredictable in terms of disease reactivation.

Very impressive results, honestly some of the best BHT results that I have seen in recent years. One question Dr. Sethi & Dr. Bansal, can the patient straighten the hair with a hair straightening keratin treatment or would this affect the transplanted hair?

Thank you dear @Melvin-Moderator for reviewing the case and appreciating the job. It is only 6 months post procedure. He has grown many but still there are at least 20-30% more hair to grow. The final outcome would be much better. 

Yes, once the hair has grown, anything can be done upon the surface. That won't affect the hair growth.

Wow. Are all beard grafts taken below the neckline? Do you have pictures that show the scarring after this many grafts? Thanks for sharing 

No, not all were below the neckline. We know how to extract the beard grafts above the neckline and going into the cheek and the side locks. Soon, we will be posting cases where we have taken grafts mostly from the beard. Experience over thousands of cases of beard extraction with smallest and sharpest punches ensures a very minimal "technical" scar on the face which most patients can carry without any issue. 

In the index case, we have also taken from side locks. In ageing skin, due to skin laxity, the tiny scars become non noticeable. It is only 6 months for the scars. The scars would be remodelling till 1 year.

Please find the pics of the beard extraction and follow ups in sequence:

Pic 1: Immediately after the first procedure, 2500 grafts were extracted.

Pics 2 and 3: After one month of the extraction.

Pics 4, 5 and 6: Immediately after extraction in second sitting, 1500 were extracted

Pics 7 and 8: After 2 months of first sitting 

Pics 9 and 10: After 6 months of first sitting

I can see how happy she is even through the blurring. Brought a tear to my eye.

Is she considering filling it in even further?

@BjornBorg It has definitely also made us feel very fortunate that she gave us the opportunity to perform the procedure for her. She has been a great source of encouragement for us.

She has been happy with her results and she is not looking to go for another procedure.

Congratulations to Dr. Pradeep Sethi and Dr. Arika Bansal. You guys very much deserve this recommendation. I am glad finally after documenting so many exceptional cases on this forum as well on your website (eugenix.in) you have earned this well deserved recommendation.

My sincere thanks to @Bill - Managing Publisher, and a very, very, very special thanks to my brother @Melvin-Moderator, for helping achieve this by professional review and thorough vetting procedure of your exceptional work. 

@Melvin-Moderator was the first to recognize the high quality work being done by both of you, specially exceptional cases of body hair transplant - BHT (beard, Chest, armpit etc) cases by @Dr. Sethi & Dr. Bansaland helped raise awareness on this forum. So for his enthusiasm and professionalism I am very grateful.

I feel that from my side I have informed the world out there of my HT surgeons and their exceptional work and now having played my own part in helping them get this recommendation after thorough vetting indeed makes me exceptionally happy.

In my view both Drs. Bansal and Sethi are not only exceptional surgeons but also very spiritual minded doctors who go out of their way to help their patients'. This will bode exceptionally well for the clinic and the doctors in the long run, may you continue your exceptional success as always and reach new heights.

Good luck and congratulations again......................

 

Thank you so much for your extremely kind and humbling words. From the very first day you wanted us to be in the forum recommended list. Somehow we were busy in our work and timing was not correct. Now with all your encouragement and support of Melvin and Bill we got recommended. We will keep posting the great and interesting cases in regular basis. 

Once again, thank you all for the motivation, help and support. @Melvin-Moderator, @Bill - Managing Publisher.

We vow to work more harder from today upon each case, document well and contribute to the science.

We look forward to have many more results from these two doctors IMO they are both great surgeons. 

 

Thank you for your encouragement. We shall definitely provide more scientific results for everyone to view.

Mr Anup Jalota is a 65 year old celebrity singer in India. He was wearing a wig for many years. He had one procedure done 7 years back. Over all the donor was very depleted and the hair quality was poor due to senile thinning. Close to 5000 grafts were planted in the first sitting over 2 days. Around 2500 grafts were extracted from scalp and another 2500 were extracted from the beard on two consecutive days. The posterior aspect of the transplanted area had a mixture of scalp and beard grafts. Another 2000 odd grafts were planted on the crown area after one month, 500 scalp ones and 1500 beard ones. So, a total of 7000 grafts were planted. Astonishingly, most of the grafts started growing straight away with out the initial expected telogen effluvium! (Though we experience this in many patients. Some percentage of grafts they grow straight away. This is due to the DHT concept of FUE we practice, wherein the grafts are planted within few minutes of extraction. We also ensure least root handling by using dull needle implanters in the premade slits.) In this index case we also used trumpet punches which ensured some extra tissue around the follicles. The extra tissue gave the cushion to the nearly friable thin grafts. 
A remarkable growth was seen by 3 months and a great appreciable growth was seen by 6 months.

Hello friends!!!

 

This is Ashish Joneja age 40 years, businessman, from Delhi.

 

Like many of you I had the irony of baldness. After a good amount of hardwork I could establish myself in my non familial Pharma business. Like any young man I chased my dreams of establishing my name amongst the top names in my field. I am a social person who wants to enjoy the company of relatives, friends, partying with pals. While I was busy in establishing my business, I started loosing my hair from frontal head which gradually progressed. I tried many things including all types of head massage oil, Ayurvedic stuff, Finax tablet, Minoxidil lotion and many indigenous things. Very soon I realised that in my case nothing is working and the baldness is progressing at it’s will!

I sought many consultations for this hair issue. I was prescribed medicines and advised to go for Mesotherapy and other treatments. All the efforts used to rouse some hope in me but later alas! Everything proved to be futile.’

 

After tired of everything I lost the hope of getting my hair back. Gradually I put on weight and became regressive in my social circle. Even though every thing in my life was ok; good business, beautiful kids, caring wife, blessings of elder brother, bhabi and parents, there was something that I was lacking in the depth of my heart and mind.

 

In the meantime my cousin brother started reading about hair loss treatments for his baldness. He read a lot about hair transplant procedures in the net. Also find many clinic for hair transplant in Delhi. He realised that hair transplant results vary a lot depending upon the expertise of the treating doctor. He passed on the information that FUT is a cut technique and now better techniques are available. Even my common sense said to me that the end result depends upon the expertise of the doctor.

We get loads of advertisements everyday in each newspaper about hair transplant centres in delhi ncr including packages like Make my trip! Since hair transplant is a surgery and it involves a sizeable money I was not moving any step further. I had a doubt about the genuinity of the procedure because of so much commercial advertisements. Even though I hail from pharma business I was dubious about choosing a hair transplant centre.

 

During my business trips I came across one of my associates with a sudden look change after a 6 months of gap! I jumped to ask him what has happened to his hair! He revealed the story that he has got a hair transplant done on the frontal bald scalp 5 months back and hair are growing. I checked his donor area which was the backside of the head as well as the transplanted area. All was well. No marks on either area and my friend had no issues of pain or any problem. I took the name and contact informations of the Doctor from him. Fixed one appointment with the Doctor over phone for a meeting. The meeting was cordial. The Doctor was beaming with scientific knowledge. He revealed the limitations of the procedure. The most important thing which was conspicuous was that the Doctor was not pushing me for the surgery. He was giving me a holistic approach and trying to educate me about the scientific aspects of the procedure and left me to take the decision. Since I had already seen the result of his work and now seen the non commercial approach of this poised and confident doctor I intuitively realised that this is the Doctor ! My search was over. My decision made me travel away from Delhi to a distant city where the Doctor was established at that point of time.

 

I should admit here that I being a little sensitive person I was expecting a lot of pain during the procedure! The Doctor and his team explained the details of the hair line, the position of it, the artistry of the design, practical hair density in transplantation. After proper scientific documentation of the pre treatment pictures the procedure started under local anaesthesia. I had the feeling of initial few pricks which anyone can negotiate the whole procedure was painless. I received nearly 3000 grafts on that single day and travelled back to Delhi at night. I was getting proper follow up calls from the team and Doctor as well for the initial 7 days. After around 3 weeks a lot of transplanted hair started dropping! I was a little panicked but the Doctor assured me that the roots are inside my scalp and they will produce a new hair soon. Then the period of status quo maintained till the 4th month. I was getting calls and mails from the office of the Doctor about my wellbeing. But I was having my fingers crossed because I was almost like before the procedure!

 

I got a call from the Doctor after the end of the 4th month about my hair. By this time I had grown a lot of hair and they all were growing and giving me a new look everyday! I gave this good news to the Doctor.

 

I got what I wanted after completion of 6 months ! New look! New confidence! A new life!

 

The most amazing thing was that no one in my close circle could make out that I had planted hair. They were so natural in arrangement !

With such a natural looking hair and confidence I decided to loose my extra kgs so that I could get my body shaped up once again. Truly speaking the new hair gave me a renewed lease of life with a lot of enthusiasm! I again started socialising with a lot of energy and enjoyment. Everything I pursued in my business life was full of enjoyment. I started loving myself! I became stricter in healthy habits of food and exercises. My whole family started following my habits!

Since my baldness was of advanced grade the top of the head was not covered in the first sitting, even though it was covered well with the grown hair. After around 8 months I decided to do some more plantation on the top. This time another 3000 odd grafts were planted. Some 1000 grafts were also taken from my beard. Again another 2300 grafts were planted on my crown to cover it. So in total I received close to 8300 hair grafts on my bald scalp area. And after 6 months of my last sitting I am writing this post for fellow bald friends.

Over the last 2 years I came across a lot of people who were really searching for hair transplant in India. The amount of advertisements has increased and so also the confusion regarding the quality and the pricing. One Advt says they charge 50 thousand rupees for whole scalp and yet another one has Diwali offers! Depending upon the grades in the quality consciousness of the person he will get allured and confused in the myriads of websites, discounts and newspaper advertisements!

I started getting a lot of calls from my circle about my story in hair transplant. Believe me they were not as lucky as I was in choosing a doctor. Most of them were in the higher strata of the society with good business. They all were confused! But when they all saw me in person and heard me speaking about the procedure they all got confidence. They gave one encouraging feedback to me that I am good in giving the scientific informations and clearing their doubts. Most of them were thankful for the informations I passed on to them. I felt better that even though I am not a doctor, people are trusting me, thanking me for my invaluable help! There were many well established national level businessmen and page 3 personalities who got the counselling from me and are grateful to me for my advise! All these encouraged me to take up this non commercial venture to guide prospective hair transplant patients to take decide upon hair transplant in India.

And after 6 months of my last sitting I am writing this post for fellow bald friends.

 

 

Since hair transplant is a surgery and we all have a limited source of donor hair on our body for one life time we should do it at the right place in the first go. I have seen many people getting their donor hair damaged at wrong, inexperienced hands because they found the cheaper option. Second thing in hair restoration is the natural look. Only growing hair is half of the story! The most important is the natural look of the transplanted hair. Only an experienced thinking doctor can do it.

One more important thing in hair restoration is a holistic approach to baldness. Some times the early baldness does not require a hair transplant, only medication help it. And in most of the cases hair transplant in addition to medications to prevent the ongoing hair loss is required. To take judgements upon these issues needs a lot of experience by the doctors.

 

 

It is obvious that a doctor who does hair transplant as a part time work in addition to other cosmetic practice will have less expertise than a doctor who does only hair restoration. At many places the doctors don’t do the procedure themselves! It is done by non qualified people, mostly technicians under the umbrella of the Doctor. These centres usually allure patients with a lot of advertisements for offers, discounts and packages! So, it is very important that patients should meet the treating Doctor before getting the procedure. The bottom line in choosing a doctor is to get a lot of references of people who have got the surgery done from that place. If they have many happy patients then they will be providing a lot of numbers. If these patients are willing to talk to new patients and meet also then that shows that they are happy patients.

 

I volunteer myself to help any person who want to decide upon hair restoration.

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you for your trust. We had a great time with you. We wish you all the best in life.

Thank you dear one for your continued trust. Like the first one, this one would also give you a great outcome in terms of growth, coverage and naturalness while maintaining the cosmesis of the donor area.
