Senior Member SunnyCool3 Posted November 26, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2014 This should come out really well. I'll be looking forward to updates on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member hadenough2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2014 Correction: Since my scalp laxity was good, Dr. Radha was able to cut a wider strip, hence she could extract as many as 4113 grafts from the not so great donor area that I had. At least that's how I understood it. The best docs will be conservative in all estimates prior to touching anything and then they usually get more during the course of the procedure. In fact, the best professionals I have ever met in any profession under-promise and then over-deliver. This is the key to happy customers with aligned expectations. Anyone who promises more than you would think is realistic...run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member KO Posted November 26, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted November 26, 2014 Thanks. What about side effects of Finasteride? Should I also be using Minoxidil? The side effects are typically uncommon. Usually the best thing to do is to try the medication, see how you feel, most people tolerate it well but some do experience side effects. It will work to slow down your hair loss. 3382 FUE Lupanzula http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185463-3382-grafts-lupanzula.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member mikeey Posted November 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted November 27, 2014 I think Dr. Radha perhaps is the only worthwhile doctor Recommended here from India. The Rest are just Hair Mills ... Stay away Guys because they all make super Tall claims and are only wanting Business . Radha is never advertising here nor does she hhave any Representative on this forum to defend the wrong doings to cover up. Its only becos she uses all her resources on her work and not on making tall claims. Her advertisments are her Real Patients who click pics in Real sunlight and not in a studio.

Regular Member nitin Posted November 27, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 27, 2014 Mikeey you are very true...there are very less who actually thinks about patients..others do only acting of caring to expand their business... They are running business only and they dont care if two out of 10 goes wrong becoz of not proper attention as they are doing two or three surgeries on the same day..even the cost of HT is not right...as the cost of input in whole procedure is very less...if they actqually think about patients they should reduce their cost..do one surgery with full involvement in a day..also trained the new doctors...I know this is the business world & what I am saying are ideals...

Senior Member mikeey Posted November 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted November 27, 2014 I hope members here take note of this point raised by you nitin.. because then if it fails then no one shud regret ... also noteworthy is that Not all docs recommended on this site are "Equal" pls get this point clear ... some docs here are not worth looking into at all ... yet there are many super docs who are not listed here.. they r not inferior ... so members shud not take the docs recommended here as words from the Bible.

Regular Member nitin Posted November 27, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 27, 2014 Yaa..I agry with u mikeey...so its the duty of each & every member here to explore more & more options...make this forum familier with them....it will start a better competition between docs..finally reduction in cost..enhancement in quality & personal care...

Senior Member KO Posted November 27, 2014 Senior Member Share Posted November 27, 2014 Keep in mind, then it also means that patients should stop shopping by price. Ideally, a doctor should raise their prices, and focus on one procedure per day. But then patient compare by prices....one doctor charges $5/graft, another does $3/graft, and they pick the second one. You cannot have both a reduction in cost and an increase in personal care. If you reduce prices, then it will mean higher volume and less attention. 3382 FUE Lupanzula http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/185463-3382-grafts-lupanzula.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member nitin Posted November 27, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 27, 2014 KO...I agree with u..but ideal situation is tht reduction in price & increase in personal care...it will definitely happen very soon in 2-3 yrs...This HT surgery is not very costly input vice..bt rates r very high..just becoz we have limited options...so I m asking forum to come with more and more options who are also doing good work..but not advertising so much and not recommended here...

Regular Member nitin Posted November 28, 2014 Regular Member Share Posted November 28, 2014 Ko..I completly agree with u for now...but in future it will definetly happen.. now surgeons are charging according to thier greeds...and as there is less competition in the field of HT, patients are fulfilling the greed of surgeons...but in future when we will have more surgeons and new techniques the price will be down and quality will be up..so come and take part in expanding the options...

Regular Member FullCoverage Posted November 28, 2014 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 28, 2014 Is Minoxidil mandatory along with Finasteride? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member FullCoverage Posted January 15, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 15, 2015 Hi folks...here is my update after exactly 6 months 15 days. The numbness in the recipient area and pain in the donor area is 100% gone. My worry is, the transplanted hair is still curly and will not blend properly with my native hair since my native hair is not curly... I also called up Dr Radha and asked if I can go for the 2nd HT, as my crown area and the sides on front were not adequately covered. Being a true professional that she is, she will evaluate the possibility only after a minimum of 9 months from the date of first HT. Please let me have your opinions on the progress.

Regular Member FullCoverage Posted January 15, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 15, 2015 Just to give a perspective, here are the BEFORE photos taken by the clinic just before performing HT. The last photo was taken shortly after the HT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Garageland Posted January 15, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted January 15, 2015 Fullcoverage your results so far are very good big difference from your starting point. With your question about the new transplanted hair being curly and not blending with the donor area that is normal. You can clearly see the hair is frizzy and immature and can take up to 18 months maybe even longer to fully mature and settle down. This will be a thickening of the hair shaft in most cases and your hair will become less frizzy and curly and resemble the donor hair. --- Former patient and representative for Hasson & Wong.

Senior Member hadenough2014 Posted January 15, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted January 15, 2015 It looks great. You have had great growth and look much better. The curls will flatten a bit over time. No worries. But even if they don't, they help add more to the appearance of density. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member FullCoverage Posted January 15, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 15, 2015 Thank you very much for the responses and the clarification about the curl. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Xephis Posted January 15, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted January 15, 2015 Amazing work by Dr. Radha and progress. Do people recognize you after 6 months? That sure is some progress, and the best part is that its gonna keep getting better with time. Imagine the results had you been on finasteride and minidoxil. I'd like to know though, when did you experience your first shedding of transplanted grafts ? And when did your stutures at the donor site completely dissolve?
