Thank you for the comments and for clarifying. I went for the Exclusive Package.

Why is it interesting, hair_forever? Just curious.

Thank you, Rawkerboi.

Update: It's been 4 months and 10 days from my HT. A picture of my scalp appears below. Comments, thoughts, or observations are welcome.

No. I did not. I just took some of my old pictures in which my head was full of hair and showed them to Dr. Das. Based on those pictures, she created a hairline. I spent maybe 10 minutes to think about the hairline she created and gave them the green signal to move ahead with it. I did not consider more than one possible hairline. As for hair volume, I told them I want to have as full a head as possible (I think everyone says that 🙂). I also told them to take as many grafts as they want from my beard, since I'm clean shaven.

Among the technicians, Kabul was great! I'm not sure if I'm spelling his name correct, though. I did not work with Dr. Vinita (but with Dr. Somesh and Dr. Das).

Both of them were in the hospital and would take turns to work on my head. They would also attend to other patients who were undergoing HT in other rooms. At times, neither of them would be in my room, but I would always be attended to by technicians. Hope that helps.

I had used topical minoxidil for many years (2003 to 2018), but dropped it about 5 years ago. I had not taken Finasteride prior to the HT. After the HT, following the recommendations of the doctors at Eugenix, I have started taking Finasteride and a multivitamin tablet containing biotin. After some time, I also plan to start using topical minoxidil.

Day 15 results Sorry, I could not figure out how to rotate the second picture. Hopefully, it gives some sense of the results.

Thank you very much, MazAb. I appreciate your comment.

I too flew from the US, though i visited family and friends and stayed in India for a couple of weeks after the procedure. I had expected them to begin work on the HT at 8 or 9 am on day 1. However, on day 1, they called me to the clinic at 4:00 pm. That day, they were only able to take pictures, make the headline, and make some slits. I left the clinic at around 9 pm. On days 2 and 3, I was called to the clinic at 8 am and they worked on my head until around 7 or 8 pm on both days (with some breaks for lunch, etc. in between). I also requested to use the restroom several times during the procedure and they were very flexible with all that. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you very much, BackFromTheBrink. I really appreciate your comments and good wishes.

In case anyone is interested, here are pictures of my scalp after the first head wash (7 days post HT).

Thank you very much, Gatsby. You are a huge inspiration and I appreciate you commenting on this thread.

Thank you, Harris. I went for the exclusive package, which costs Rs. 120 per graft (+ 18% goods and services tax). However, since I agreed to their media coverage (which effectively gives a discount of 20 percent), the net price to me is Rs. 96 per graft (+ 18% tax).
