I would say you start post transplant only as per recommendation

This is what they gave me

Eugenix prescribes finasteride mostly, and vitamins that they prescribe are hairfact. Dr arika told me that she highle recommends me to use finasteride for my crown area. Vitamins are more for faster growth and can be taken for 3 months. After that if you are on a health diet these can be stopped.

Quick 8 day update. Recipient and donor areas have healed well. Donor area appears a bit thin in parts due to previous surgery. This will remain like this until hairs grow upto guard 3/4 level. I join office in a week. Is it a good idea to use toppik on donor as well till hairs grow?

Yes, started on Dec 1..had checked with them in mid Jan, they asked me to continue

I have been taking finasteride since last 3 months. I just had my surgery on Feb 19 with dr arika, so far it has been good. Regarding shock loss will come to know in the coming weeks

Have asked from clinic, will update

I had my corrective surgery at Eugenix- today. The surgery was led by Dr. Arika Bansal and supported by Dr. Alok and Dr. Shishir. It was a wonderful experience. I would say anasthesia is slightly painful otherwise the surgery is virtually painless. I am happy with the work so far. Hopefully it turns out good. I would highly recommend Dr. Arika to everyone. The implantation is done by the technicians but I guess they are pretty thorogh at it. Dr. Arika was supervising the whole procedure and did slits, some part of extraction and some part of hairline implantation. Rest of the extraction was done by Dr. Shishir who is pretty good at it. Let me know how it looks. I had done my first surgery at richfeel where extraction has been done in a concentrated manner. Although nothing is visible once hair grows and if I cut hair at guard 4. Also there were lot of gaps in the hairline which have been filled this time.

It is 120+ 18pc tax..it was always this fir dr pradeep/arika i blv

Can u share some picture of donor as well to see how that is looking after 14 days or virtually undetectable

The donor appears quite thin in bright lighting, is it looking ok in normal lighting ?

@RR1 looks really good, m myself heading to eugenix mumbai in feb to get my hairline corrected from my first transplant.

When can last haircut be done prior to surgery and till when can the hair color be done. Also, does finasteride needs to be stopped prior to surgery..clinic says not necessary

Clinic is recommending to stop 7 days before surgery

Sure, thanks

I am not drinking currently, i wanted to know if i drink 1 day at my ofc offsite 5 days before surgery that should not be an issue ryt? I intend to avoid for a month post transplant.

I have an offsite 5 day prior to hair transplant surgery. Is it ok to drink or i shd strictly avoid.

Comprehensive package with dr arika is rs.120 however the one with dr pradeep is rs 210 as per the new pricing on website

Yes there might be some shedding in first month but should be fine post that but once u start using this i dont think it can be stopped in between else shedding will happen again, it is same as using any other minoxidil probably the finasteride addition gives slightly better results

Yes it is available in India and recommend by many for ppl who don't want to use finasteride, have heard results are good for density maintenance in crown.

@paddyirishman my session is booked with dr pradeep on 18th Feb in mumbai. I have chosen the 120/graft package which has increased in price now. I will be getting around 1500-2000 grafts for more density on the hairline and filling the major gaps. Although i m thinning slightly on the crown as well but i will use medicines for that considering i m just 31 now and might need more grafts in future so graft management is very imp. I had and a fue 18 months back of around 1200 grafts for my hairline which did not give me enough density and would like to fix it once it for all this time. My first procedure was not very well researched. This time I have understood the importance of choosing the right surgeon. Thanks for all your help @paddyirishman

@paddyirishman had a query if prp was included as part of normal package or it was an add-on that u got thru them. Thanks!

Although the prices have increased but I blv the comprehensive package with Dr. Arika is still at rs. 120 where she will do the hairline, all slits and crucial part of extraction. I blv this can be considered by all ppl facing cost issues. I had booked just before the price increase otherwise would have gone for this option. She is equally sound as dr. Pradeep and the results should be similar may be @paddyirishman @ahmedabad_guy and others can verify this.

Is ugly duckling phase as prominent in the second transplant as well or recovery time is lower considering prior coverage. Assuming the second procedure is only for minor gaps and more density. Thanks!
