Agent47 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Hi Everyone, I'm planning on an FUE transplant in Mumbai. Who would be the best Dr. for this? Any recommendations? I am going to need 10,000 grafts as per the picture. I've been advised 3000-4000 grafts can be taken from scalp + 2000-2500 grafts from beard and rest from chest or body hair to achieve this. I'm doing my due diligence but it's very confusing. I have contacted some Dr's who said I'm not a good candidate due to bald area being large whereas other Dr.'s have said it's achievable. Anyone who can give me any directions I would really appreciate it so that I can plan the 1st procedure. Thank you! A47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted January 5, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2017 Welcome! First, I suggest taking a look at this link to all the physicians we currently recommend in India. Second, whether or not you are a good candidate for surgery depends largely on your expectations. As you already are aware, you have an extremely large balding area. I understand you are considering the addition of body hair transplantation. and while I've seen some impressive results and happy patients from this, the outcome is not what everyone might consider desirable. What sort of hairline, density and coverage are you aiming for? Have you seen any results on someone with similar hair loss that you find appealing? Most guys are going to advise you to shave your head and accept your baldness and they will certainly be the most cost effective response. However, I know that is not for everyone and that there are many guys out there that will prefer even a dusting of hair over total baldness. Thus, I always say that there is never any harm in consulting with a skilled, experienced and ethical surgeon even when the case may seem hopeless. If you're getting mixed messages from doctors, be sure that the the ones you are talking to have reputations as ethical and experienced in BHT cases.

Agent47 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Thanks heaps for your response David. The Physicians in the list recommended are not located In Mumbai and hence I can't consider them. I have seen US Dr's such as Sanusi Umar who has done 10,000 grafts with success however the cost becomes extremely high. Example of what I am after : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Rawkerboi Posted January 5, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted January 5, 2017 You are not a good candidate for HT! Kindly try Hair system which is the best option for you at present! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent47 Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Thanks for the response guys! Yes I know that due to my large balding area I am not an ideal candidate due to limited donor area. However, using Body and Beard hair mixed in with Scalp via FUE might give a good result as per above patients who are Norwood 6/7. Does anyone have any experience with Dr. A's Clinics? Since they are located in Mumbai and highly rated I was thinking they could be suitable. What things should I be mindful of? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
