My First Hair Transplant with Dr Radha Rani

[Rockstar]

Hi Guys,

 

I am 24yrs aged, residing in Hyderabad(India).

I have been following this Network since last 1yr. Although i joined as a member today itself..

Thanks to Bill and others who are doing an excellent job by maintaining this site which is very useful for many Baldies like me.. Great work guys..

 

I have decided to undergo HT with Dr. Radha Rani in Vishakapatnam. I have been loosing hair since last 5yrs.

I haven't used any medications till now.

Dr. Radha Rani advised me to start using medications after HT.

 

My HT is scheduled on 26/04/2012. which is day after tomorrow.

Will post my pre-op and post-op pics as soon as possible after my HT.

Will keep posting updates regularly.

 

Wish me LUCK..

 

Regards,

Rockstar

Hi Rockstar,

 

Good luck with your procedure with Doctor Radha. I had my HT with her late January 2012 and she is a dedicated surgeon and cares for her patients. Your in good hands.

You should create a blog on this network.

Rockstar,

 

This community has been highly impressed with Dr. Radha Palakurthi, as have I. That's why she's now recommended on the Hair Transplant Network.

 

I trust you'll be in great hands with Dr. Radha and I hope you'll share your detailed experience and photos right here on this forum.

 

I look forward to hearing all about it :-).

 

Bill

Rockstar,

 

Congratulations on your decision. Dr. Radha's work is very impressive and I'm sure she will deliver a result worthy of your moniker.

Hi guys,

 

Had a successful HT on 26/04/12 with Radha Rani.

It was a wonderful experience and frankly speaking, i haven't found any surgeon who takes so much care of her patients. She was right beside me almost with the entire process.

 

I had undergone a surgery of over 2800 grafts.

The pre-op and post-op pics including other details are with Radha's clinic.

Will create a blog here and post everything as soon as i receive mail from clinic.

 

I am really short of words to praise her.

I will definitely be indebited to her for the rest of my life.

She took care of me just like her brother.

Anyone who is still wondering which surgeon to chose, i would suggest you to stop worrying and book an appointment immediately with her.

 

Will update other details shortly.

 

Regards,

Rockstar.

clean work..looks pretty cool..Happy growing... One thing, even your donor line at the back looks little above as it was for hair4ever.

[Rockstar]

Thanks for your comment allabouthair.

coming to the donor area,there is a good one fist gap between the crown and scar.

so i think that is fine. Also i believe, the lower we go, the thinner the hair gets.

correct me if i am wrong.

[AllAboutHair]

If there is enough gap that would be absolutely great.

The one thing I liked is your donor area closure. Its really thin and neat

[Rockstar]

Yeah i am really surprised after looking at my donor area in the pictures.

The scar looks very very thin and i am pretty sure it goes unnoticeable quickly and forever.

Now the only thing remaining is waiting for the grafts to shed and regrow.

Its been almost one week already, and i haven't lost even a single graft.

 

Can someone pls explain me about the shedding process(when it takes place). so that i can be less worried.

My friends are telling me that the transplanted hair is growing slowly,but as far as what i read from this forum, the grafts need to shed first and then start growing in 4-5months.

 

I am really confused. Pls let me know the exact process.

Thanks in Advance.

Here is the update of my HT progress.

pics taken on 20th day..

 

I have lost so much hair while washing off the scabs.

I am not sure if that hair will grow.can someone pls confirm about that.

coz if that hair returns back,my head will look much better..

[HARIRI]

Looks clean and tidy. If I were you I would shave the rest of my head to match the length, it would look natural. Mine was messy because maybe I was applying Minoxidil 2 weeks before surgery which made it more bloody. You can check my thread to have an idea. I think you chosed the right surgeon in Asia, I'm starting to be a fan of Dr. Radha's dedicated work.

[Rockstar]

Hi Hariri,

 

I was suggested by Dr.Radha to wait for 30days before shaving my head..

so that is the reason.

 

Any idea about the hair that has fallen while washing the scabs? will it grow back??

[HARIRI]

If transplanted correctly, then use it will grow back. I advice you not to touch the scabs for 14 days, just pour water on them. Becareful and remember each scab is $1. Take care of them haha.

Yes, the shed hairs will all grow back in due time. Expect all your scabs to fall off in the next few days since you're at 20 days post-op. Approximately 70% of your transplanted hairs will shed in the first month and half. You will start seeing new growth of the transplanted hairs at 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 months after surgery. The transplanted hairs will thicken and mature for the next 7-8 months after initial growth. You'll have full results at 12-14 months after surgery. You have a long ways to go so try not to worry about growth. Time will fly if you think about other things besides your hair. Good luck.

[Rockstar]

Thanks a lot Janna for clarifiying my doubt..

I was terrified that i might have plucked the grafts while washing off scabs..

Your words have given me a lot of confidence.

Now i will peacefully concentrate on other things and hope for good..

Hariri,

 

May I know from which doctor you had HT earlier? I agree with you Dr. Radha is so far great in her results. I am also planning HT with her. Reply is appreciated.

[TakingThePlunge]

Rocstar,

 

Janna's given you excellent advice. Try not to worry. Everything is progressing normally. The work looks excellent.

[Rockstar]

Shaved the sides so that it matches the transplanted hair.

Loosing lot of transplanted hair since last 10days.
