@omarca those are some amazing results! How much does Dr. M charge per graft and what's his waiting list like? Is the waiting list couple years long? 

@avisaxena33 can you post an update post transplant?

@avisaxena33 any updates??

@Knightrider what's your plan now?

@rochish any updates?

I see better work from Dr. Soumesh in eugenix than Das. How much is he?

Really? Why would they price Dr. Das much higher than Dr. Soumesh then? What's your overall opinion on Dr. Das work? Bad?

Wait you can pay more to be faster?

I didn't know this was an option as well. I heard his regular rate is about 5 euros/graft. Does anyone know how much he charges to have the procedure done sooner?

Consultations for 900 euro are open and you have to wait few months to get one. Then they schedule your surgery in 3 years. They can sign you on cancellation list, but nothing is promised. 

damn, 3 years is too much

Consultation with Zarev is expensive, because off-schedule consultations cost 900 euro, but with this price you can get most detailed measurements of your scalp in the world. So for me it was worth it and waiting time wasn't so long, it was like 3 months since i asked about possibility of of-schedule consultation. I am happy that im did it, because now i know where I stand. 

what's the waiting list like for Dr. Zarev? Do you really have to wait several years?

@caveman and agree with others here, the SMP + buzz cut actually looks good. I can't even tell you had SMP in the pictures. Can you go into a bit of detail how the process was? Did you have to completely shave your head to get the SMP done? 

holy moly, probably the best results I've seen on this forum imo for such a high Norwood!

Can someone please tell me what. Dr Zarev waiting list is like? Someone mentioned earlier in the thread 4 years?! that can't be right can it?

You should consider topical dutasteride. It’s been a game changer for me, and no side effects. You can get it relatively easy in the US and Europe. Definitely give that a try. Stabilizing hair loss is essential. 

I've switched to topical dutasteride and honestly, have seen better results, which to me is quite surprising. 

thanks for the answers. First time traveling to India so anxious but hopefully all goes well.

The WiFi situation at New Delhi airport is a pain. You’re better off purchasing an e-sim for India in advance through Airalo or another provider so that you have cheap 4G at all times. 
 

Zomato is a popular food delivery app so if you decide you don’t want to pay the restaurant prices for food, you can order without having to roam around. 

Thanks for the help. I've read about the Delhi airport wifi being bad, so I'm worried I won't be able to find my driver, especially since it's a busy airport without being in contact with them.

4) Its a four star Hotel and it's good and clean. The breakfast provided by the Hotel is excellent and there are lot of option to order Food from outside. If possible avoid outside food and try to eat it from Hotel. 

 

So they don't have room service available? So aside from breakfast, any food you have to order from outside? 

I'm planning on going to Eugenix for my HT. I've never been to India and had some questions that I was hoping those who have been to Eugenix can help me.

1.  How did you pay for your Eugenix HT? Is bank wire the best method? They charge extra for credit card use. 
2. Is there free wifi able at Delhi airport and was it easy to locate your Eugenix driver to take you to the hotel? 
3. My HT will take place over 2 days, and I plan to fly back home sometime on day 4. Is this sufficient time? I'm located in North America so it'll be a long flight. 
4. How was the hotel that Eugenix use? Are there restaurants/room service inside or did you have to go outside to get food? 
5. I plan on going back to work 6 days after my HT. Is this doable? 

Any answers and help is much appreciated.

You’re probably fine. Someone said earlier in the thread that I’ve been too lenient on them, but truth of the matter is I went to them because my research pointed to them being among the best. They obviously continue to put out incredible results. And I’ve been pleading with Sethi for a few years now to try and fix me, but enough damage was done by me posting in here that they probably felt it in their best interests to cut ties with me.

They did give me back some of my funds which amounted to approx 1/5th total surgery cost. 

Anyways, there was never any acknowledgment of this being a poor surgery but they were kind to me. I would still want Sethi to do work on me if circumstances were different. He goes the extra 100 miles for patients he connects with and really cares about. And I wanted to be one of those patients.

 

thanks for the response. With Dr. Mwamba - did you have your procedure done at his USA office or Belgium?

just caught up with this thread. Can anyone with more experience say why/how Eugenix messed this one up, especially since it was performed by their top surgeons?

I was planning on going with Eugenix since it appears to be highly recommended on this forum but reading this thread has me really worried now..

Honestly I wish I stayed longer, I wanted to get home quickly. In hindsight, I could have traveled with a normal hat on, they would have done my daily cleanings, and would have shampooed my head the first time. For $90/night, the hotel was cheap, the breakfast was wonderful.

Ya I'm kinda in the mind set right now that I want to get home early after my surgery, but I don't know how many nights to stay. I don't plan on traveling outside or anything so I'm going to be holed up in the hotel anyway. I'm looking at maybe spending 2 - 3 nights? Then flying off. I live in North America so it will be a long flight. Did you have to spray saline on the grafts every hour while you were on the plane?

I stayed in India for 4 nights, I arrived on Thursday and was gone on Monday. I took care of all of the post treatment procedures myself, they were not difficult. The most difficult thing was trying to sleep the first 7 nights as I couldn't sleep on the front, sides or back of my head. Ha!

thanks for the reply! planning a procedure myself with Eugenix, but just debating how many nights to stay after. What would you say minimum number of nights I should stay?

The return trip went fine, and the first 7 days were uneventful. I’m glad to be home, the first head wash didn’t remove all of the scabs, but have washed my head every day since and it looks fantastic. 

 

Did you just stay in India for 2 nights and travel back? Or did you stay there for 7 nights?

Hi Sekior109,

I'm from Canada (arrived on the 23rd) and am in India right now, actually about to head back tomorrow.  I had applied and was granted my Visa shortly before they stopped processing them.  I don't know this for a fact but it is my understanding and I'm sorry to say this but I don't think you will be able to get it. My only suggestion, is that you give it a try but appy for the Medical Visa.  There's a risk you may lose the application fee.  Let me know if you have any questions.

ya looks like the situation won't be resolving anytime soon. They have in fact removed Canada from the list of countries completely in their website so I can't even try the medical visa. Looks like I'm out of luck and burned through several thousand dollars...

I had an upcoming hair transplant at Eugenix, with deposit and flight tickets already booked.

As some of you may or may not know, India has recently banned all visas to Canadian citizens. So I've got everything booked but no visa. I have been in contact with Eugenix but they haven't given me a straight answer about this situation. 

Wanted to know if any has any advice about this situation? Is anyone else from Canada and in a similar boat?

What's worst, in addition to the money I have spent on flights, is that I have used up all my vacation time for this planned trip, so if this all falls apart, I won't be able to rebook another HT for another year! 

thanks for all the answers, much appreciated. 

What was the price per graft for your second procedure? 

It looks like Dr. Das now charges 210 INR / graft? 

any updates?

we are allowed to bring more liquid as long we have receipt / prescription from Clinic

i brought 1 bottle of saline seamlessly..

when they saw my prescription, i was allowed without any hassle

so did you only bring a carry on? And did Eugenix have stuff that was OVER 100 ml liquid per bottle?
