From what I can tell, especially if I’m going in to have mostly my crown and humps filled in, there is really not much incentive to spend more for the higher tier packages… 

I’m looking into having a hair transplant with EUGENIX (my 4th procedure overall) and I’m just wondering what folks know about the difference between the “comprehensive/exclusive package” that includes having the surgery done by senior doctors,  versus the “premium package” where Eugenix founders Dr. Sethi or Dr. Bansal will participate in the procedure directly. The cost varies significantly between the packages… what can I expect if I opt for a lower tier package without dr. Sethi or Bansal’s involvement? Does it come down to simply Dr. Sethi’s/Bansal aesthetic artistry concerning the hairline? Or can I expect a lower survival rate of grafts without their participation? Thanks! I’ve also included some photos here of my current, 8 month post-op hair. For reference–I was a Norwood 6/7 and have had 7,000 grafts done with FUT. @Melvin- Admin @Gatsby

You look awesome. Came out really well!! Congratulations.

 

I had a different experience with Dr. Diep. 2200 FUT grafts in July 2021. Norwood 3 approx and didn't get good results. 

Thanks for the kind worlds! About your experience with Dr. Diep… Really!? I’m sorry to hear that! I’d be very interested to see your before after pictures/hear your story…

The pubic hair into my donor scars wasn't really on the table until the final day. The donor scar was the last on a love list of things that I would love to have corrected (if possible). The use of scalp, let alone beard grafts would have been a waste for the donor scars. As you can see my hair grown out covers the donor scars and the SMP also hides them. Adding grafts into there was just the cherry on top. Most people wouldn't bother but I'm up for anything. Also remember that when it comes to body hair, it has a much shorter anagen phase than beard (as beard does to scalp hair). Beard hair will always be the first choice for a donor source second to scalp hair. You may be surprised at how many grafts you might be able to extract from your beard? I don't have a particularly strong beard compared to some. All the best.

Thanks for your thoughtful response. Greatly appreciated.

Because my armpits smell worse! 🤢🤣

Lol. Excellent response!!!

Though, since I hope to have BHT done at Eugenix next year (and I don't have a dense enough beard to harvest donor from), I'm still curious whether or not underarm hair is a viable source of donor hair and why they didn't harvest yours. Certainly is wasn't because you objected! You were clearly down for all the grafts you could get! Which I applaud... 

Wow! So stoked for you!

@John1991 I had good results from my procedure with Dr. huebner, but I’ve heard mixed stuff about the clinic. What I can say is that my experience was good.

Here is a photo after my first procedure (with Dr. Huebner), but before my second procedure (with Dr. Diep), from around the 6 month mark.

@Melvin- Moderator your YouTube videos, advice, experience and insights have have been a major lifeline for me in my hair restoration marathon… I’d love to get your take on my journey so far. Thanks!

I am an advanced Norwood 6 (completely bald on top of head). About 3 years ago I had 4 sessions of scalp micro pigmentation done but still wasn’t satisfied with my look. Last year I had 1,750 FUT grafts done at Natural Transplants with Dr. Huebner, and am 3 months exactly post-op having received 3,000 more grafts with Dr. Diep at MHT in Los Gatos, CA.

Dr. Diep did my hairline and temples and put a small number of grafts into my crown. The first series of photos are post SMP and before any hair transplant procedure. The second series of photos are current, 3 months post-op of most current procedure done by dr. Diep.
