    Advise on part 2 plan on my HT

    in Hair Restoration Questions and Answers

    Posted · Edited by BaldingEagle1

    Hey all,

     

    As many of you know that I went to Eugenix for my 1st procedure. 3500 grafts for the front and mid. It has been about 4.5 months, and im very very very happy at the progress of my results. I did it with Dr Bansal, and at the time it was 120/graft. Now shes basically tripled, which I am definitely not gonna do. At the same time, the lowest that I was considering was Dr Das, whose price was 120 last year, and now she's at 210.

     

    I do not trust the new 120 package, as I do not know who the doctor is. The techs are impeccable.

    The crown shouldn't need more than 3k grafts as per vague quote I got.

    So my two choices are:

    1. Go with Dr Das at 210.

    2. Go with a reputable clinic in Turkey like Cosmedica, or do you advise of another? (more of a budget option, which Im leaning towards due the less skill needed for crown).

    3. Deal with the 120 with Senior Drs.

     

    FYI, keep in mind that I just need the crown now. So I dont feel much skill is required from the drs. Just need someone who wont mess up the crown lol

    Thoughts?

     

    PS. I want this to be the last stop of my HT journey lol

    What’s the plan?

    The way I see it your issue can now be broken down into 3 zones: temple “holes”, mid scalp and crown.

    If it were me, I would prioritise them in that order.

    Im guessing the holes will take about 500 grafts. Filling them is a no brainer. Then you’ll have, generously, 3000 grafts for the rest.

    3000 grafts will not give you great opacity, or full, thick , lush density. But you have three things helping you: Dense but superfine natives, good color contrast, and your hair is a little wavy. The natives are probably equivalent to 2000 grafts. So in a sense you have 5000 grafts for the crown and mid scalp. Still not enough for that full opacity, but not bad.

    You must make a compromise. Normally you might compromise on the hairline, but that option is gone. So you must compromise in another way. Here are some examples.

    1. Go for mild density all over.

    2. Go for moderate density on midscalp, low density on crown 

    3. Go for good density on midscalp and leave the crown to the meds.

    4. Partial hairpiece for both areas, only transplanting the holes. This will give best appearance, like full head of hair, but requires some maintenance.

    Finally, there is the possibility of concealers, trichopigmentation and body hair. There’s always a trick up your sleeve if you’re determined. And you could probably get another 1000 grafts from the donor if you were okay with reducing its visual density in exchange for higher density on thinning areas.

    And you can even consider FUT

    Thats about all I can think of, but it’s plenty to think about and good reason to feel optimistic.

    My 2 cents, and before I give my opinion I want to make it clear I’m a novice in this sort of thing, but I’d focus on density in the front and mid and then grow your hair out and slick back and just stick to that style for life. So basically option 2 as you listed. 
     

    man buns and slick backs are the best option for these type of scenarios so you have that feel. 
     

    A full look will ALWAYS be better than a “balding look”

     

    again, just my 2 cents. No concealer or any other nonsense needed. 
     

    I think eugenix had a dude who did a man bun , I liked that idea. It never crossed my mind lol
