Looking great @kirkland

Bumped the thread to check if anyone can respond 

My current age is 43 . I would like to go about deciding on hair restoration either using medication or using the hair transplant.

I have few questions on whether the following health conditions inhibit someone in kind of hair restoration methodologies like using medication or going for hair transplant.

1. Currently and also for quite some time I seem to have dermatitis on my scalp possible donor area i.e. behind my head above the neck . Could it be an issue in case in the donor area there is some skin condition for hair transplant to be done

2. In the recent year seem to have borderline Thyroid and most probably has resulted in hair loss more but have not been using any medication for it. Can any of the medication that is used to restore hair effect or worsen my borderline (Subclinical Hypothyroidism) Using diet I kind of have kept in control but just thinking if medication will trigger it back and cause problems.

Apart from them have other minor niggles like Hypertension and Cholesterol which I am assuming may not effect the hair restoration process. However the above two points look pertinent to consider the Hair transplantation or go the Bruce Willis way. 

Any suggestions or advise are welcome. 

I am currently located in Southern part of India .

@Andy78 @Eugenix Hair SciencesI would again recommend a video consultation, or even better go to their location in person for an assessment. There are a few very good examples on this forum of work done by Dr Priyadarshani Das. She does incredible work and is one of several doctors that fall under the lower cost option (Comprehensive Package Rs. 75 per graft). Eugenix may not be the only option in India, but trust me when I tell you, even with their lowest package, they are still the best option in India.😉 Best of luck in your search!

Follow my Journey with Eugenix and Dr Arika Bansal!

Thanks much.

can you review my pics & advise how many grafts it could be & approximate cost.

It’s already looking like it’s beyond my budget right now.

Was planning for one before my 44th birthday next March. 

Also a link of your post on your hair transplant journey in Eugenix

@Andy78 Any and all branches of Eugenix in India will serve you well. If I lived in India, I would choose the one closer to me. You also can't go wrong with any of the doctors. I went with Dr Arika and everything went VERY well for me. I recommend having a video consultation with them and allowing them to make the right assessment for you and based on that assessment and timing to when the surgery will occur, which location makes the most sense.

I was about to tag you or PM to check coz I believe you went with the mid plans. The price scare me a bit. I’m not sure if I wait for long enough will I be losing more hair.

I am still waiting for some gentleman to give me a ball park value based on my hair lost so far on how much it would cost me.

@Andy78you only get one chance at this to get it right. That's why most people do their due diligence in research for a great length of time to understand as much as they can about the topic of MPB, finasteride, patient reviews of surgeons, etc. It's also why most people travel to the surgeon that best meets their hairloss surgical needs. For example if you are a Norwood 6/7 then generally today people will travel to Hasson and Wong, Eugenix, etc. This is a life altering procedure and it's best to save up for it to get it right the first time. I can tell you from personal experience that if you base your surgery on budget, impatience, geography, etc then it will cost you far more than you could ever expect in the long run trying to repair the damage done. All the best!

Thanks for the headsup. As mentioned earlier the Eugenix has a branch closer to my place with same doctors supervising so I thought it’s better that way. Waiting for anyone based out of India to give their suggestions of doing it in Gurgaon vs other branches

I'm not a doctor but looking at your donor and your hair calibre I would think no further than Eugenix. Personally, also if this is something that you cannot afford (as many men around the world cannot) then I if you live in India and travel is an issue then I would wait until you can afford travel, etc. You only get one chance to get this right! All the best!

How many grafts Am I looking at & the cost involved.

Also is it pertinent for me to get it done at Gurgaon clinic since it’s far for me . Would Mumbai do. Nobody mentioned that point especially folks who are based out of India. Probably Delhi & Gurgaon is easier for people travelling outside of India since close to capital

Melvin's recent posting on the myth of a quick turnaround healing time of one week, for those figuring out how much time to book off work, is spot on. The hairline/midscalp was done 6 days ago, the midscalp/vertex was done 5 days ago. The scabs are not ready to come off. If I had taken a week off from work in the hopes that upon my return, no one will have noticed, this is what I would look like strolling into the office tomorrow morning. Pancake makeup is not suggested. Seriously.  

How about someone who works from home & not office but would want to be off work for the discomfort post surgery & pain. With long 12 hr work it could be tiring.

Anyone who can guide further

When it comes to Eugenix I think the top Drs are pretty much on par with each other. Plenty of results here for both Dr Bansal and Dr Sethi. 

The Eugenic clinic is available more nearby to my city i.e. Mumbai or Bhubaneshwar than Delhi which is mentioned in most of the posts of people who have done it here. Also Dr Arika Bansal has clinic in Mumbai. So I was wondering if I can get it done closer with same clinic & same doctor.

Also was looking at ball park value for this

Are you looking at FUE/Beard or FUT/BHT ? Would you be able to show any pics of your current situation ? How is your donor area ? 

Which doctor would you recommend? @JC71

I also need to mention that I have dandruff problem from past & kind of dermatitis at the back side of my head towards the left side. Could these be issues for my transplant.

Also I work in IT so not sure how many days I need to take days off my work to travel to Delhi & stay there.

I am preferring FUE method. Dr palaparthi is closer to my place.

Also how much would be a price estimate for my hair transplant

Short answer: Eugenix. 😉

Thanks for the recommendation.

I’m a 43 year old and suffering from male pattern baldness for close to 2 decades now. I would want to pursue the options to get my hair transplant done with latest technology. Recently I observed that hair falling from crown part too. If possible looking for options in South India. Any suggestions and advices are welcome. 
 

I heard Dr Arvind, Dr Radha Palakurthi , Dr Bansal, Dr Pradeep Sethi are more popular in my area/country.
