Regular Member yogeshg Posted March 1, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 1, 2015 Hello everybody , I would like to share my HT experience with Dr Radha Rani from Vizag, India. Any constructive feedback or advise on my progress and advice regarding best practice postop hair care would be appreciatively received. I have been experiencing hair loss from last 7-8 years.I consider myself Norwood 5. There's been hair loss history from both father and mother side. My back is almost full but crown is also thinning though it looks ok for now. However front was completely gone. I have been lurking around this forum from long and after almost 2 years of pursuit of finding a good HT doctor , i settled down to Dr Radha. I was on finasteride but dosage was very inconsistent (like once/twice a week 1mg). I checked-in at 8.30am at Dr. Radha clinic. Her assistant took a blood test.I was asked to fill up some forms. Short time after Dr. Radha arrived and welcomed me to the operating theatre. For the strip harvesting, I was required to lie on my stomach. I was given local anaesthesia injections. My donor area hair was trimmed, ice was the donor area and in few mins, I believed the donor area was harvested. Absolutely no pain at all. Had no idea if I was being cut or stitched at any point, felt nothing at all. After the strips were harvested and I was completely stitched up, I was asked to sit up and go freshen up if I wanted. I was given a meal, Pre-op Dr.Radha estimated 3800-4000 grafts however after the HT procedure was completely finished, she told me she was able to extract 4461 grafts from the standard-sized strip. Graft details: ========= 1hair : 1166 2 hair : 3085 3 hair : 210 Please share your feedback on whether this is enough grafts i would need for 4-5 years down the line ? Later i could go for second transplant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Rawkerboi Posted March 1, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted March 1, 2015 The work looks neat!! Be on medications to protect your crown, or else within few years be ready for another HT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member KO Posted March 1, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks for posting, given the no. of grafts and your balding pattern, I think this result will be great. 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 Rawkerboi Posted March 3, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted March 3, 2015 Hi, is there any hotel recommended by Dr.Radha? How is the Hotel? How long did you stayed there? And how far is the Hotel from Clinic? Last question is if possible to stay for 15days and remove the structure from the clinic itself? These are the few questions which my friend wanna know as he is not the member of this forum. He will travel from Ottawa, so he wanna stay there for 15days atleast, so that his structures are removed there itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member yogeshg Posted March 12, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 12, 2015 There's hotel named "Hotel Atidhi" which is a decent hotel imo and i enjoyed my stay. Its not top notch but if you are looking for reasonable prices , this is the place to go. I stayed for 2 days and its walkable distance , i 'd say less than 2 km. I think you mean sutures removal ? These can be removed 7 days post surgery. It should definitely be possible to book the room for 15 days , please get the contact from google search "Athidi Hotels Visakhapatnam". Good luck.

Regular Member yogeshg Posted April 4, 2015 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'd say almost 90% transplanted follicles have fallen out. Donor area is healing well , no trouble with it whatsoever. For first 15 days post surgery, i used Johnsons baby shampoo and thereafter i have been using herbal shampoo. I have been on 1 mg finasteride and cod liver oil capsules daily with multivitamins 3 times a week . No minioxidil yet. Used coconut hair oil here and there but not routinely. So thats that folks , kindly let me know how it looks. Please share your valuable feedback. Thanks for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member SunnyCool3 Posted April 4, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted April 4, 2015 Looks good. No redness which is nice. Wait another 2 months and you will start noticing growth. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member timetoact Posted July 5, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted July 5, 2015 Nice results so far. Seems like there was never a scar. The front looks good for 4 months. It's just 25% of your transplanted hair so you can assume what killer performance you gonna pull in next few months.

Regular Member timetoact Posted July 8, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted July 8, 2015 It was just less than 100 sqcm Thanks for the info, man. With 4461 grafts, you gonna get a great yield as it is already evident with your current growth. Edit: How much time did it take for your scar to heal? I just got my stitches removed yesterday. The pain is not there but when it touch it stings.
