how often do you have to do donor cleaning? Also, how was the 2nd day sleep

Sheeeeet I do lmao. I’ll be showing it all to dr arika and praying it’s good enough to use for density as I age

lookin good man

I mean.. its amazing for 5.5 months.. between 8-10 will be crazy good density. Keep us updated please.

Thanks @SLA @Bandit90 who went over the graft design with you (front and mid first)? saying because another poster did all 3 sections.. just trying to find out the best route for me too

thanks SLA. I have fam in a different city in India asking me to bring things.. how annoying/strict are they in bothering and checking baggages? I was gonna just bring a hand carry at first but fam is annoying me to bring food/clothes

Yeah at first I scoffed at Bandit's plan. But now the more I think of it, the better it sounds. I wonder what I should do as a NW6.. maybe go Bandit's route? Kind of like dealing with current balding crown, and then filling it later

So we have to bring the Eugenix letter with us? the emedical visa isnt enough?

ahh gotcha. Yeah I have 0 foreign transaction fee, so i'll be fine I guess. Thank god for that Chase Sapphire card/Amex platinum lol

Hmm I may do that. With the card its like a 2% fee right?

I was thinking of paying by card

I mean I’m not expecting this after this surgery. But that’s the goal where I’m trying to get at. they do know what kind of style I want though.

Protein is also good to build lean muscle

Nice! Congrats! and hope your procedure goes well. I'll be in Delhi with Eugenix on the 16th, so if you're there, be sure to say hello! Following this thread as I am excited to see how it all turns out. Good luck!

The results are awesome man. So happy for you! and Grtz on the mini-Melvin!

Nice!! Im looking forward to your thread!

Thanks! and thank you for the tip regarding pre-op. Its crazy to me still.. 3-4 years of research is now down to just 9 days!!!!

Nice! Which clinic are you going to? That's totally understandable regarding fin, but just keep in mind that your native hairs may be at risk to going, and you may require a touch up or two later on if that does happen. (so hope you have a good donor- beard, chest, etc). Without taking fin, you may need to use fibres, but to answer your question, I absolutely think it's worth it. While I am planning on getting on fin after 3 years, I am happy because I have good donor hair- beard, and chest. I would be so happy for them to use my body hair as I was so conscious about it growing up lol I believe @Melvin- Moderatoralso wasn't on any pills and he used concealers and fibres. I think he stated he will be on topical fin though.

Hey Xanadu, I'll ask Dr Bansal when we go over the face to face pre op. I prefer doing it, but if she feels I should hold off, I'll defer to her expertise. BW is short for bloodwork. Im not sure if that's the official abbreviation, I was just too lazy to type it all out ahah

Thank you! Yeah for sure. I'll be updating this forum my creating a vlog-like experience without the video lol.. so would love to meet up during, or just come down in the lobby as I think we are in the same hotel haha

I appreciate it man! and I do hope that you finalize on whichever clinic you choose. Im sure whatever you choose would be a homerun!

Thank you @Gatsby! I agree 100% about doing research before you just go in. I wanted to make sure my first one was at a good spot. and if I just do the top 3rd and have to do the crown later, as long as the hairline is done by Dr Arika, I can be satisfied.

@Melvin- Moderatorwhen you do get a chance can you please move this post to reviews from patients? I submitted to the wrong spot by mistake.

I am putting a comment here with pics of what my goals are post HT. In case if it gets deleted from my phone, I can just pull up this thread during my pre-op with Dr. Bansal to discuss

I was hoping I could get my crown done there too and just knock it out in one sitting. I’ll speak to dr Bansal when I do get there. I don’t take any pills currently, and most likely won’t take fin as the wife and I are planning on having 2 kids within 3 years. So let’s see how that plays out. I do plan on taking rogaine though.
