Eugenix always opt for the conservative approach. 2500 Grafts will give you decent frontal coverage. I guess, Eugenix is not touching your crown and they want medication to do that job. Since you are from Mumbai, you can opt for Eugenix as it will save your time and travel.

Dr Laorwong, is a good doctor and 4000 grafts which he recommended is for complete coverage including front and crown.

@Rawkerboi Both have suggested for the front and mid part for now. The crown will need a second HT if meds don't work

Thanks @Shadman. Yes, Dr. Bhatti was a clear no-go. But I'm confused with Eugenix too. Over the past 2-3 days, I've shown my pics to Dr. Laorwong as well. Acc to him, I'll need about 4000 grafts for the front, mid and temples, while Eugenix had suggested ~2500 grafts for the same portion. That's a big difference. I'm concerned if it would impact density. Ideally I'd want a super dense frontal hairline. Most of the Eugenix's HTs I've seen have good density but not great. Seeking opinions from other senior members as well

@Dora @Knightrider @_Batman_ Did you guys get your HT done? Which Dr did you choose? Pls do post your reviews

Hi Everyone,

I am a 37 y/o male, based in Mumbai, and I'm considering to get my first HT next month.

I'm a newbie here and hence seek advice from the senior members on the most important decision - choosing the surgeon!

A bit of background about myself - My hair loss started around 10-12 yrs back and really aggravated maybe 7-8 yrs back. Of late it seems to have slowed down (not stopped), and I have a very long history of hair loss on the paternal side. I have never taken any medications yet.

Over the last few months, I've been seriously considering getting a HT done and have met with Dr. Bhatti (Darling Buds; interaction wasn't great and its a straight no) and Dr. Somesh (Eugenix). On a physical eval Dr. Somesh suggested that I'd need around 2500 grafts for the front and mid (part) and temple sections. And medications for thickening the crown. 

I'm sharing my pictures below along with some markings done by Dr. Somesh. I'd really appreciate everyone's opinion and suggestions on the approach and also whether Eugenix would be a good choice (and also which Surgeon. Dr. Bansal and Sethi are way above my budget)

Thank you!
