I would rather have a bad one in UK then....lol.

Been long enough since 2010 in this forum to know that. Cheers.

It's my opinion & a strong one and has not been formed lightly just based on my 4 months results. I am Indian myself and been to India for a HT. Been there and done it mate and I don't recommend it. Take it or leave it.

You know what they call a Clinic run by technicians and Nurses......

Hi folks, 4 months completion pictures taken during sunset at the beach...fairly decent lighting. At this stage, I am mixed and not very happy. The hairline is okay but the transplanted hair coming is a strange texture. 5/10. Density lacking in mid scalp, no growth. Grey beard hair only growing. Looks like a birds nest at the moment. Terrible. 3/10. The Right temple is coming okay. 7/10. The Left temple is not good as the Right temple. No growth in the lateral humps. 3/10. The crown is okay. Will give a couple more months.

Going by a clinics track record is a lagging indicator which is like driving a car using rear view mirrors. Unfortunately, many of us including myself use lagging indicators to select a clinic. Leading indicator would be a clinic scaling up and should be used.

No, slit making (incisions) is not extraction. At Eugenix from my experience, Doctor does the Slit making while the technician does the extraction which is scoring, punching, extraction and implantation into the premade slits. After slit making the doctor might go to another surgery or consultations.

The trouble is how would you verify during the surgery that the tech are well trained and have many years of experience?? I was told prior to my surgery that the techs have 7-10 years experience but when I asked couple of them off record they told me just 2 years experience.

I suggest for your 2nd HT that you do not look anywhere until a consult with Dr. Munib. You can select a 30 mins video consult from his website Fuegenix, it will be money well spent.

Super work Dr. Munib and the temples look great and blends very well with the posterior hair. Sorry if you have been asked this before but could you explain your philosophy for temple recreation. I mean the selection of hair and design. I know you mentioned earlier that they only look good if the hair is grown longer.

Don't worry about shedding of the temples. They will come nice by 4 months as I can say from my experience. My RT is coming super at 4months and LT not as good yet as the right.

Pictures after completing 3.5 months (108 days)

So folks, I had a video call with Dr. Sethi where he explained me with pictures that there is no chance of me having retrograde alopecia. Luckily, they had some more pictures from different angles. A good 40 mins was spent by Dr. Sethi reviewing my pictures and videos on the big screen. Also, Dr. Sethi explained that microscopic evaluation of the nape donor area would have given false positive. I only told Dr. Sethi that I wished that we had all this detailed conversation during my designing stage. He told me that just trust Eugenix to get it right. I have allowed Eugenix to post my pictures and provide their side of the story for the community and then we can close this topic. Thanks to Eugenix and everyone.

This is not correct please. You said that Dr. Sethi will be back tomorrow and allow some time to check availability and update you. I replied saying take your time as im in no rush. You never scheduled anything until I messaged here today.

Go ahead

Sorry it was @bobs personwho made those comments.

Please schedule a call with Dr Sethi as he is the doctor I selected for the surgery and needs to be held accountable. If Dr Sethi cannot make it then do not bother with any other doctor.

Thanks @Captain Haddock for sharing your experience. I believe Eugenix has used nape grafts on my temples and we'll see how they turnout in coming months. But there is surely a long term risk in using these grafts.

Some pictures 6-8 months Pre HT that I could find.

This is what I got from Eugenix at 3 months. 'Thank you for sharing your scalp images, as per Doctor's evaluation your hair growth is good and on track. You might still be experiencing some shedding of your transplanted / pre-existing, which is natural. Please do not worry'.

Thank you @gillenator. Being one of the senior most member of this community, I really value your views. However, I think this is 3.5 month post op picture and maybe due to recovering from shock loss it could be misleading. I don't know, I am just saying this out loud. Also, my barber does keep the nape area short and shaves it off. I just wished that Eugenix would have done their due diligence when I was physically with them during the planning stage prior to the surgery. While I am happy so far with the initial results, it is sometime that will always play in my mind.

@Eugenix Hair Sciences Please why my donor was not assessed properly?

This is today's pictures of the nape region. I am 3.5 months post op as of today.

No microscopic examination at all. Three doctors (Dr Pradeep, Dr arika & Dr. das) from Eugenix examined my donor and didn't take more than 2 minutes in total all three of them.

As I mentioned, the donor assessment by both the doctors were just a mere eye glance and not thorough check which is why I am paranoid.
