Hi @Karan Chawla- Over time on this forum, I have come across your same question and have saved some of the advice which I included below.

Some may be outdated if it relates to traveling during the height of COVID- GOOD LUCK! You are going to an excellent clinic!

 

I'd get a power converter / adapter. I got one and it was a life saver both in the room and also with the many hours and days spent at the clinic. I was working on the trip and could not have dealt without reliable power for both my cellphone and laptop. Bring a very small travel size spray bottle for hydrating the grafts. Something small enough that can go thru airport security. Bring some sweatshirt like, zip up jackets. Clinic can be very cold at times. 

Don't worry about medical caps, they give you a ton of disposables if you need extra. Otherwise, I think you'll be good. Eugenix for the most part, will take care of everything else you need. Even extra finasteride, which I'd highly recommend getting from them. It's a lot cheaper!

have some rupees on hand when you arrive or you can exchange at the airport. If you haven't provided the clinic with all of the blood tests before arriving, you have to pay a clinician to come to Eugenix and do the rest of the tests. About 2000 rupees. Plus you will need a negative PCR test to fly back to Canada. Eugenix will arrange. I was told the cost was about 1000 rupees.

- bring a comfortable neck pillow to sleep on for first two to three days. Bring something to wrap around the pillow so that you don't get blood on it during the sleep. There will still be a little bleeding after the surgery, particularly when you lay your end down at night.

- no need for converter. The hotel has plugs which will take N American devices. 

- My phone did work at airport but wifi requires that an SMS verification code be sent to phone and that didn't work. There is a kiosk located just prior to the exit doors after baggage pickup. They can give you a wifi password to use if you are communicating with your Eugenix rep via WhatsApp

-

- Hotel has complimentary breakfast buffet. Definitely eat a good breakfast each day of surgery since you have to take a few pills prior to surgery and the breakfast keeps the stomach strong with the meds

- Make sure that you have the area being worked fully anesthetized.  That's an uncomfortable process as they run a needle over a large area to numb the area having surgery. After they apply the anasthesia, have them poke the whole area to see if they missed a spot. That happened to me a couple of times. When they went to extract or implant in an area not fully numbed, it really hurts. The point is to have no pain at all in the area so make sure you communicate with the techs.

- at the tail end of my day two surgery, I believe that the number of grafts extracted fell short by the number of slits created by Dr. Bansal. Suddenly, it seemed the techs were rushed to extract the right of grafts and so they had to numb the areas again. The one tech, who didn't do the anesthesia before, was now applying it and missed some spots so when another tech when to extract the grafts with the motorized punch, it was coring into a part of the scalp that was not numbed. I had to stop the surgery and make sure that the entire area was prepared properly before commencing because it hurt like hell! Still hurts in that region of the scalp.

- you can bring a couple of smaller bottles to transfer the saline solution in for the return flight. You need to keep the recipient area sprayed every other hour through the day for 7 days. But Dr. Bansal can write a medical note exempting the airline from withholding a large bottle of liquid if it is used for medical purposes. She is giving me a note tomorrow or Thursday so we will see if it gets it past the security checkpoints at the airport.

Let me know if you have ?'s

Are u nervous about flying thousands of miles away to india i also thought about flying there to do a operation .

I would say, a little bit because I will be travelling back to India after 21 years. Alot has changed since then and I just keep going on with my research. 
Never thought of going to India for my hair transplantation. 
How about you buddy? Have you been or still thinking to go to eugenix 

I would say Eugenix should open a clinic in USA, here there are very less good doctor and the cost are very high. 

Loved all the results, great, thanks for sharing.

Hello,

I'm sorry that the first operation failed. Did you apply FUT or FUE technique in the first operation?  This is a very important situation for your second operation. It is very important in terms of setting your expectations.

It is necessary to examine your donor area and determine how much of an area to cover. Of course, we can comment on your photos for this.

If you have any questions, I would like to answer them.

Hello Doctor, Thanks for your reply, I did FUE in India in 2018. It was not successful at all, I will be sharing the pictures soon in this thread. 

My donor i think looks okay to me, i will be needing some extractions and hair line augmentation plus some hairs in the hairlines.

Once I share the picture, i think it will be better for you to understand.

I just had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Arika Bansal and giving her some training in SMP. Very impressed with her knowledge and expertise. You're in good hands. Also I have a client who went to her and his results looked great!

wow, that's great, SMP coming to Eugenix. 
Felt good, more confidence now at Eugenix. 

Hello folks, 
I'm new to this forum, have been quite researching from the last 3-4 years, I had one surgery done in the past but sadly it wasn't successful. 

I have looked into different clinics and currently leaning towards Eugenix for the coming week. Bisanga also is a good option for me, plus how long does it take to heal.

Can somebody please advise me what to pack for India and what to expect from the surgery. Any other additional clinics reference will do good as well. Kindly provide me with your advises. I've seen great results and great content from @Eugenix Hair Sciences, many aussies and people from USA got great results. 

Cheers for your inputs in advance.
