I remember when Dr Pradeep and Dr Arika told me that they want to establish what I once had as a child. They wanted to study the direction, angle, and curl of my hair and map out how the slits would determine that direction and natural flow. I did listen very closely, but all I kept thinking was, "please God just let it grow!" It was hard for me at that time to think of all the other aspects that go into it.

Now that I've had time to think back and reflect, my hair flows naturally at the exact same angle and direction of when I was a kid. Has the same wavy texture and looks no different than when I was 16, 17 years old. Whether I'm getting out of bed in the morning, or getting out of the shower, my hair always wants to follow this direction, which is astonishing to me, and proves that Eugenix results go so much deeper then just a hair transplant that grows. They get you back to how God created your hair to begin with, and make you exactly like what you once were.

@Eugenix Hair Sciences sets the standard and the highest bar for all clinics worldwide. Thank you!

GQ cover model status 🙌

Loving this @Gatsby, right on track! 

Absolutely wild @SLA @Melvin- Moderator !

When I first started my research, I thought all hope was lost. Even after finding Eugenix and their fantastic results, I was expecting to need a 2nd procedure. The Eugenix team said I would get full coverage and delivered

Thank god for Eugenix!!!!

Thanks fellas, feels good to have hair again lol!

Got a fresh cut today and it seems like my temple points are starting to regrow as well after adding topical dut 1x a week to the regiment! Wasn't able to see these before since the sides were super long. To be clear, there were no grafts placed on the temples

Still pretty thin but nice to see these back after a loooong time, got alot to look forward to in the next few months!!!! If the points thicken up, it would massively change things for the better from an aesthetic perspective 

Hey team! Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far. 

I had some free time today so I decided to take some pics from multiple angles in harsh light to see how far I've really come. This is pretty much the 9 month update(about a week or so shy of the official mark), and it is absolutely insane to see the progress. Complete change in just 1 procedure for NW6!!!

The pics below were taken in harsh sunlight so everything is exposed . The crown is lagging slightly but there's still probably 3-5 months of growth left! There's also a good amount of vellus hair popping up just below the hairline due to rogaine. The left side of my donor had some shock loss and that is still recovering. Much better than what it used to look like 

The pic I posted the other day was just a bad hair day. My hair was excessively dirty from what I believe and after shampooing/conditioning things looked much better

Also insane - the redness (from 5k grafts) subsides in about a month? Wow.

OP - were you taking any supplements or lotions for the redness? What was your post-op care like?

Pretty crazy. 

Yeah to be transparent, I didn't have much redness after the scabs fell off and the scalp was clean. I did use aloe vera gel to combat itchiness after my scalp was clean so that may have helped a bit 

Thanks fellas! Looks to have just been a bad hairday, good to have the piece of mind and appreciate the feedback. 

Will be uploading pics from multiple angles including crown for my 9 month update!!!! Working to get preop pics from the clinic as well to post a proper before/after

Crown is looking decent, midscalp is slightly lacking in density visually due to the fizziness of hair. Another 3-4 months should help things settle after a few hair cycles and time for maturation. Also feel a second wave of stubble starting to poke through. 

For those that experienced fizziness, how long did it take for things to return to normal? Im assuming around 12-14 months but would love to hear other experiences! May give anti-frizz products a shot 

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates. As things are progressing, I am spending less and less time obsessing over the day to day changes! Just shy of 9 months at this point. The hair is coming in pretty thick but it is still very difficult to manage and is frizzy. I am attaching a pic below.

My concern with the results is that it appears that a chunk of my hairline is not growing in properly(the right side). I can manage this at the moment with proper styling but from an aesthetic perspective it doesn't look too good.  

I am in contact with the clinic and I have no doubt they will work with me and address any concerns. Hoping this is due to the initial fizziness and will look better over time as things settle down to the proper angles & hair directions. Would love some opinions. Could this be just a temporary issue? The left side looks much much better so it might just be 3-4 months until the right side catches up, fingers crossed. 

No other regiment changes and I have continued taking meds as before. Post op and all other directions followed to a t 

Hi All, 

Just heard back from @Gabreille Nelson Mukhiaand the Eugenix team. Please find the graft breakdown below.  May need an update to the post title haha 

Total Number of grafts- 5005  

Region grafts taken from 

1. Scalp
   • 3456
2. Beard
   • 1237
3. Sidelock
   • 312 

Types of grafts 

• Single
  • 1602(Including Beard)
• Double 
  • 2068
• Triple
  • 988
• Quadruple 
  • 347

Total hairs/graft=2.01

Thanks fellas @MazAB@SLA @JC71! I originally really wanted to get some temple work done in a 2nd session, but I think it would be wiser to conserve the grafts for touch ups down the line up top. I am pretty content with how everything has turned out! Really grateful for the excellent planning by Dr. Arika Bansal, the donor management at Eugenix is world-class.

I'd love to know the graft breakdown if you could get it, I bet it was probably something wild like 2.5 hairs per graft.

@Gabreille Nelson Mukhia@Eugenix Hair Sciencesis this something that you guys are able to please  provide? I can shoot you my details in a DM. Thank you!

This is one procedure my god I’ve had 4 and don’t have this 😬

Absolutely, wild!!  I guess I lucked out in the fact that most if not all of my grafts were multi-hair grafts. I don't have the exact count but the Eugenix team had to cut and make a lot of singles for the hairline 

Hey ya'll , here's an update on the mid scalp and crown. Getting pretty hard-pressed to see scalp!  The area in the back that looks like it is lacking density is the crown whorl

Month 7th Update 

Will post additional pictures of the crown/midscalp and a larger update over the next week but the Hairline is looking thicccccc af haha! Density is also much improved all over 

Loving the results so far, absolutely life changing! Hoping this helps others that were in my position. As most have said - Eugenix has made baldness optional   
 

Thank you @Gabreille Nelson Mukhia! Please pass my utmost gratitude to the rest of the Eugenix team, the results thus far have been nothing short of life changing

Good luck @Gatsby! SO excited for you, and am looking forward to seeing your results. Been following your journey since the video with Harry.

You're in great hands!

Thank you @MazAB@Berba11@ahmetka55@Melvin- Moderator! Absolutely insane considering where I started from. Wouldn't have been possible without this forum and massive kudos to the Eugenix team for another fantastic result on a challenging case! 

As @Melvin- Moderator usually says- time to start swiping on tinder lol 😆

Month 6 Update 

So much hair! Hey team, here's how things are looking at the half way point. Hair is pretty frizzy, wiry, and tough to manage at this point. Hoping for the density that is achieved from months 6-9 to make this a home run. Will be going for a haircut to even things out on the top next week.

Mid scalp and crown is still lagging behind the hairline. Expecting both areas to improve during months 9-12 as results in this area come in after the hairline  

Considering a second procedure for temple point recreation after seeing how Dr Sethi and team reconstructed @Melvin- Moderator 's temples. 

Thanks all! 

@SLA the mid scalp and crown is lagging behind the frontal third but it is coming in .  Based on the hair in the area, I should be able to get away with pretty good coverage after things mature 

@soconfusedCorrect, I take 1mg twice a week because I had sides on the full dose.

Looks great already!!

Thanks @Berba11! Happy growing to you as well. Looking forward to seeing your results! 

I was pretty worried about my hairline early on too. Those qualms have completely subsided now that things are growing in.

Might go back for a second session to get my temples done down the line but other than that I am completely satisfied. Even with the crown is looking good

Hey ya'll, still waiting on my new phone with a better camera to come in. I will most likely upload high quality pics from multiple angles during my 6 month update. 

In the interim, I just wanted to provide a quick 5 month update. Feels so good to have a hairline again and I am beyond satisfied with how things are coming along. The hair is still quite thin and wiry but it is definitely coming in! This will be a home run once the density kicks in from months 6-9!

Happy holidays!

HOLY s@$! this is 4.5 months let that SINK in

Absolutely insane! Probably one of the best decisions I have made 

Looking great @Berba11, this will be a home-run!

I had the same issue as you, I was jet lagged and didn't sleep very much while I was in India. This caused a ton of oozing for me as well, and the anesthetic had to be reapplied frequently.
