Looking forward to seeing your journey pan out bro! I am hopping onto the dutasteride train soon.

Thanks a lot. This will help more people than you know.

Yeah I don't see how they thought this would be feasible in the first place. HT is a customised job and every case is different just like they mention on youtube yet they have a stressful process set for both the doctor and patient. I initially was going to go to Vera clinic in turkey (before doing all the research) and one feedback I heard was that everyone was treated like a number just sat in a queue. This sounded awfully similar with Dr Arika just walking up to every patient drawing their hairlines and it lacks the personal touch. I do hope they have reduced her strain so she can focus on patients properly like every customer deserves. I understand what you saying about Dr Pradeep but after all the recent cases I feel hesistant and will be looking to go Europe for my next case. My belief after researching is that packages/scaling a hair transplant business is inversely correlated with the artistry required for a hair transplant. They can't go together and I know many share this same sentiment.

"yesterday I spoke to one of their Sr Doc.. he said it’s not their work they don’t do such close extractions.." THAT is a shocker and if true requires some investigation, flat out denying work carried out is careless and shows complete lack of empathy. I hope things work out for you OP

Hey I am also currently in talks with Dr De Freitas! He quoted me 2800 grafts. I believe Dr De Freitas will be supervising the extraction process and he has one team he works with. I haven't seen any over harvested donors from him which is good. I had the same dilemma with Bisanga but currently leaning towards Freitas. What date did they give you for the transplant?

Thank you so much for this write up. I had a picture removed in my previous post above and I won't get into whether the mod should or shouldn't allow for public pictures to be posted on another thread, I understand it's a grey area but the picture showed similar lack of care in temple areas. The intricate details are very very much appreciated and it connects the dots on why your surgery was the way it was. You have great hair characteristics but that does not mean NO planning is required to execute a fine job, the number of surgeries in a day clearly highlight why this aspect was rushed. Your surgeon being in the process of consulting another patient whilst you lay there waiting is also extremely unprofessional and shows lack of care and personal touch. Based on everything you said here I no longer have the same confidence in Eugenix to perform surgery with good care and will be cancelling my surgery with Dr Sethi. Thank you for documenting your work with so much transparency and detail it helps everyone of us in deciding who touches our scalp.

I must have missed this one as I only came across the case today but same package as captain haddock except techs did most of the extractions in this one. The angles again are clearly not aligning here as well and it isn’t following ops natural angles. What concerns me is the similar problems with a lot of recent cases. As others have alluded to, scaling a business has unfortunately led to a reduction in quality. , I appreciate that eugenix wants to help OP but if acknowledgment and ownership of the wrong doings are not there then Would you want to risk your scalp going back to the same place?

The main point being that the angles are aligned with subjects natural angulations hence it all looks natural and aligned. The dude was very happy with final result so I am assuming they grow just fine

I missed this one! Hope your hair is growing well OP. I see your concern with the temples .. did you message dr arika about it ?

This is an example of someone who has similar angulations to OP's hair which has hairs that come forward instead of the usual that we see which are backwards and transverse. This work has been done purposely and meticulously to give the natural look, the hairs have been carefully selected also.

Lucky!! Looking forward to following your journey, what made you finally choose freitas?

Looking GREAT! hope you have a good result.

Dr Arika did the full extraction. As others mentioned I am shocked that this is the donor area for such a small amount of grafts taken. The question is what went wrong here? This is the question a lot of people on this thread will ask and I want to share a little story. I am due to go to Eugenix in a couple of months. When I booked it a couple of months ago I was very happy and confident as I had done my research and dodged a bullet with a turkey clinic (thanks to this forum)..... the happiness lasted until I saw the temple point on this thread which clearly looked like they were botched. I really wanted to get to the bottom of this because the temples are something I want to do myself and one of the reasons I chose @Eugenix Hair Sciences. What worried and puzzled me was the several members commenting on here completely brushing it off, it made me question the psychology of how we view different clinics from a different lens, if the clinic name was not given what would we have said about the OP's concern of his temple points? I demanded to get onto a call with Dr Arika which was granted and I asked her about the temples, she refused that anything had gone wrong and that they just needed to implant more grafts into that area. This didn't sit right with me but what do I know? so I sought out the view of an expert in JT who admitted himself that the angles were not correct and it was not a good job. The question now after seeing the extractions done here is not IF something went wrong but WHAT went wrong? I am not a Eugenix worker so I don't know but what I do know is that Eugenix has scaled their operation tremendously since gaining popularity and due to this the quality has taken a hit looking at few cases here. This was not a complicated case yet it took a hit, how many others have taken a hit that haven't been posted here? I understand no clinic is 100% but there is a difference in my opinion between lack lustre results and results that have been botched due to lack of care. Me personally I have my surgery booked with Dr Sethi as I felt more confident in him but after seeing this picture and couple others in different threads I am worried. P.S. I am just being 100% transparent, I have no hate towards the clinic, I am booked to go myself I hope they can bounce back. There is more things I can add but I will leave it here for now. @Captain HaddockHoping you get what you wished for initially, you have great hair and I know you will come back from this!

Really good to see they have done a good job with the angles on the temple line. Hairline looks on point as usual from Eugenix.

As a Djokovic and a tennis fan it brings me great joy that you used Novak as the gold standard example.

Looking good for such an early stage bro!

One of the best hair lines I’ve seen congrats bro

If you really want to stay in the UK am sure you can negotiate that price per graft to be honest! So definitely try to do that.

Very well said. I dont believe in “scaling” a hair transplant clinic. You cannot avoid the inevitable loss in quality if you scale your operation. OP I hope you find the results you are looking for with your next surgery

Agree I was also quite impressed with the temples. Can't wait to see how they turn out!

Very detailed write up. How did you feel about Dr Sethi doing your slits? Work looks clean I am following your journey closely!

Thank you so much for sharing that. My father was pushing on me to go to one of these cheap clinics because I will 'save money' lol. You have given a very realistic experience and this could have gone quite bad. Your hair looks very good and that is what matters! But to others I would avoid. Don't play roulette with your hair

Amazing work, looks so clean. I am curious if you discussed temples with De Freitas this is something I haven't seen him do?

Wow well done big big big kudos for walking out. Forget the money you literally just saved your precious irreplaceable grafts. Even if they said no refund, you were saving more by just walking out. You saved your mental health

Just saw your journey. Congrats bro from what you were to now is amazing!!
