+1 for @A_4_Archan for being passionate/ very knowledgeable  about this subject -plus him being in a different timezone would be a boon to keep this site running round the clock.

Great report Archan, you're such a helpful member of this community -glad the procedure was smooth.

Need few more details on the Doctor /why you chose him- unable to DM you -can you please send me a message ?
 

Thanks for the suggestions @hkhare and @mr_peanutbutter.  

Anything to add on the pain levels for FUE vs FUT ?  (have read that graft picking from beard can be quite painful)

Thank you @A_4_Archan & @duckling for answering my questions. From what I read- meds will not help much after Norwood 5,but will check with my doctor for Oral minoxidil.

@A_4_Archan -I'll search more,but any datapoints-where Eugenix Dr.Das package was considered better than the one below it ?  
                            With high graft count needed for my case, I guess I'm not looking for top notch output, but one that results in decent coverage, carried out safely.

Firstly, thank you to all the members/moderator for sharing details of their journey and keeping the site friendly and useful for others. Glad I found it, albeit bit late

I’ve recently become serious about HT,after having been on Minoxidil,Finasteride for few years (they didn’t work for me, either because I was not doing them regularly or just because). Here is my current situation (pictures attached). 

• What would you say my Norwood rating is ?
• Any estimate of number of follicles needed ?
• Do you see any benefit in re-starting Minoxidil/Finasteride ?

Doctor/clinic decision- I’ve gone through several threads and these 2 seem to be good for high Norwood cases:  Eugenix & Dr.Nader:

1.   Eugenix – Will choosing a lower package (say Exclusive-$1.47 plus tax) a wise choice OR  Premium with Dr.Das is recommended ?  
                 (Do not want to go above this, as costs balloon significantly-esp. considering more follicles for my case)

2.  Are Dr.Nader results comparable to Eugenix results ?

Appreciate all inputs / pointers to help me make a good decision on Doctor/clinic.

Thank you.
