  1. Just over 2 months now. Here are new photos. To me, it looks like the donor is healed. I tried to taper my hair up to my scar from a #2 to a #6 guard, but it's still noticeable with how I cut it. Prior to the surgery it was more visible after cutting at a #8. It seems I got pretty lucky with the ugly duckling stage not being so brutal this time around - since the frontal hairline was already transplanted I'm guessing. I'm very thankful for the temples being removed removed, huge improvement imo. My donor hair was never very thick. I like the way it looks when it is cut shorter because of this. Does anyone have any suggestions with cutting my donor hair shorter - will SMP allow for complete scar camouflage at this length? During the consultation, Dr Das advised me to not cut my hair short like this, but I'm happy with the result that has been achieved so far.
  2. Hair looks good. You have a ton of donor left it looks like, you can also utilize your beard hair. Best wishes.
  3. It's pretty strange that you still hold some resentment against the clinic when you have been told probably a dozen times about shock loss. April 10th will be 4 months from your surgery. You should start to see better results around then. Not tomorrow. Not the next day. Not next week. Wait until April 10th...
  4. Hi All, It's been 5 weeks now. Eugenix provided me the better quality photos of pre-op and immediate post-op. I also included week 5 photos that I took today. I'm delighted and relieved with how the scar and the temples look. It's so much more natural. So far the shedding/shock loss has been very minor compared to my first surgery which leaves me hopeful for a satisfactory outcome by 12 months. With Eugenix, I had almost no swelling from the surgery and used the saline spray faithfully every 1-2 hours. By the 7th day, I didn't have many scabs on my head and they were loosely attached. I wonder if this contributed a less severe shedding phase? All input welcomed!
  5. I don't have those photos; I'll reach out and ask for them. My camera is not great. My girlfriend used her camera for the last photo of my neck and it turned out much better. I'll use her camera for the update pics as the months go on.
  6. Hi all, I am currently 12 days post-op from my 2nd hair transplant procedure at Eugenix Hair Sciences in Gurugram, India. My 1st procedure was with a doctor/clinic in America. I wanted to finish the mid scalp and crown region, touch up the frontal area, remove the poorly designed and mis-angled temple grafts, and camouflage my FUT scar from my first hair transplant procedure. The thread containing my 1st hair transplant procedure is linked below. Eugenix Hair Sciences Surgery Date: Jan 8-9, 2024 Doctor: Priyadarshini Das Grafts: 3700 from scalp, 600 from beard for scar camouflage. The middle portion of the scar was not touched - this portion of the scar wasn't as wide. The temples from my first procedure were removed. Dr Das did a great job with her consultation and made me feel really comfortable about the process. She was thorough, patient, and receptive to my input. I felt like I was in good hands this time. Overall, I was impressed with Eugenix and can see why they are a recommended clinic on this network. I'm crossing my fingers for a better outcome this time. Below are pictures of before operation, immediately after, and approximately 9 days post-op. First Hair Transplant Thread:
  7. The crown area of your head takes longer to fill in after a hair transplant. It's normal for this area to take up 18 months to reach its end point. I think you are getting ahead of yourself at the moment being at month 7 and looking forward to the 3rd transplant. Overall, I'm quite impressed with your result. Best wishes.
  8. Hey Melvin, I’m trying to PM you but I “can only send 0 messages a day”..?
