Hey @LeftHook- I've booked up with Eugenix for late July as well. I've gone for Option 1, just to have the peace of mind in knowing that Dr. Sethi / Dr. Bansal will be involved in all aspects of the transplant. 

Good sir.

Best of luck

Hi.

You are on right choice.

I done with Dr. Sethi. If you don't have any price Issue then go with Dr. Sethi. You will be happy after your results. Other doctors also very good and experience. But I just share my experience 

 

Best of luck 

Hi

I seen that you are happy to go for Eugenix. And trust me you will get your new look as you already seen.

Its Its something else what Eugenix treating us. They created relationships with. Not only business. So just trust on them and think positively. That you going for good one. Believe me once you happy with your results you will never think about money what you paid little bit more compared to others.

Eugenix Doctors said to me. Do it once Do it best..... and I mean it today after 9 month 

So go with positive thinking and do it. 

Trust your doctors and his results. Tell them what you want how you want and go with your old pics. What kind of hair line you look for. So they will give better then that.

@Looking for HT Really cool to hear that you've chosen Eugenix in New Delhi. Like yourself, even I've considered the European options, and whilst Turkey was a write off, the other European clinics have higher fees, and although that isn't the be all and end all, it seems that the patient experience and satisfaction with Eugenix tends to be notably greater. Whereever I look I only tend to find positive things written about Dr Bhansal and Dr Sethi, as well as their clinic and team.

Even I'm 90% certain that I'll be having my HT with them next summer, for pretty much the same reasons as you (and some other forum members) have expressed.

My situation might be similar to yours in one respect that I have a thinning area (hairline), but it is not a complete write off yet in terms of baldness. So I might end up receiving the same advice as you, albeit for my hairline, that I shouldn't bother getting that worked on for another half decade or so. My crown will be what needs work.

I'm interested to know, in due course, whether you'll go with their pricing option 1 or 2.

Hey buddy. I am going with option 1 as I am told that 100% incisions are done by Dr Sethi/Bansal and they are pretty much involved throughout the surgery. I just want to have peace of mind considering that its my head

I would suggest that you have a video call with the doctor and let them see the areas on your head that needs HT. In my case my crown is thinning and not completely gone bald but my frontal part has receded quite a bit including hairline and temples.

Let us know how you get on.

Cheers

Hey bud. Not trying to be funny here but you sound as if you are merely doing marketing for the clinic. 

Trust me, this tactic puts off everyone and does not work.

This forum is quite transparent and let everyone do their research before they make a decision.

Thanks

Exact 6 months to go for my HT from today.

In past few months, I have done some research on Finasteride and due to its association with side effects, I have decided not to take it after my HT.

I had a call with Dr Sethi and he has mentioned that Fin is not for the new transplanted hair but to keep the existing hair and therefore taking this medicine is optional.

I am a bit of a fitness freak so there is no way I want to put my health in danger.

I would love to know the views of other patients who did not take Finasteride and did it affect the growth of the transplanted hair.

So scared of such a mild drug? Hair Transplant without stabilization is a potential death sentence.
Finasteride will not only benefit you for a transplant but it will thicken existing hair. Your native hair is the most important element and factor towards a successful transplant. Your Norwood and history is what surgeons generally use as a long term plan towards your transplant goals, and future procedures.
Without finasteride it won't end well. Essentially it will require much more work to make the balding transition.

The side effects of going bald opposed to trying finasteride and most likely responding well is an easy decision. A marginal percent change, you have sides that are easily reversed!!

What people fail to realise that even those with male pattern baldness your entire scalp slowly erodes to the final pattern. Not just the recession areas, all though those are more prone within the pattern
Without finasteride you are speeding the rate at which you bald by over 80%

Wow !! What a feedback. Mild drug? Mate , you really need to do a bit of a research. My decision is after consulting the doctors in Ireland.

Below are the most common side effects of Finasteride:

• impotence,
• Prostate cancer
• loss of interest in sex,
• trouble having an orgasm,
• abnormal ejaculation,
• swelling in your hands or feet,
• swelling or tenderness in your breasts,
• dizziness,
• weakness,
• feeling like you might pass out,
• headache,
• runny nose, or
• skin rash.

Please dont spread false details about a drug that has left many in distressed state and calling it a mild medicine !!

Just to give you some information, Transplanted hair is not dependent on Fin. The donor hair follicles are genetically different from the follicles that are effected by male pattern baldness. Donor follicles are not sensitive to normal levels of dehydroxytestosterone (DHT). Once transplanted to areas of balding scalp these follicles will continue to produce living hair. Finasteride lowers DHT levels reducing the effect on native (non-transplanted) follicles and by doing so helps to control progression of male pattern baldness.
Hair restoration specialists use Propecia and Minoxidil preparations in conjunction with hair transplantation not to maintain the transplanted hair but to prevent as much as possible loss of native hair from the balding scalp.

Hope you get the point. Fin is not needed for new transplanted hair.

Hey man.

I had a similar conversation with Dr Pradeep regarding finasteride. He explained that the main purpose of finasteride is to curb hairloss from progressing. I've been told I'd need 2500 grafts for my HT, and I'd like that number not to have to increase. After the HT, non-recipient areas can still continue to be affected by hairloss, and so Dr Pradeep suggested continuing 1mg of finasteride for 6 months to a year, before cutting down dosage.

I've been on Finasteride since the start of the month, and even I'm a health and fitness fanatic (I don't smoke, drink, take fizzy drinks, workout everyday at 5am, 6 pack abs, etc), and so I was nervous about it also. As far as drugs go, i've not even taken an aspirin for decades, so I hated the idea of taking tablets.

The side effects are indeed frightening... but the common side effects apparantly effect something like 2 or 4 percent, and then after a few weeks the side effects pretty much go. 

I've not experienced any side effects thus far. I hope it stays that way. I can, however, feel some stubble starting to pop up from my bald spot in my crown. Now I have to wait and see what happens.

Thanks mate. What happens once you stop taking the medicine or do you plan to take for coming years?

@Looking for HT I'm going to be taking the medication for the long haul. The way I see it, unless I follow instructions to the letter, if it fails then there will always be fuzziness as to whether it failed because the medication itself doesn't work (at least for me) or whether it failed because I quit to early or didn't do as instructed. 

I've seen one or two Youtubers videos where Finestaride users said that after they stopped taking it, hair loss resumed. The medication therefore seems to be a maintenance thing.

Cheers mate. That is why I cleared up with the doctor as its only for existing hair and HT hair is not dependent on it. I definitely wont be taking it. Long term use can cause hormonal imbalances and prostate cancer so I would suggest to keep an eye. All the best mate.

The time is coming closer and I can truly say that I am very excited. Hiding baldness has never been easy and I hope the surgery will be a confidence booster. I want to thank everyone on this forum for all the help and suggestions including their own journey. I will definitely return the favour once I get my HT done and will post my journey.

I truly believe that Eugenix and  Dr Sethi and the team are one of the best and I feel secure .

Watch this space as 12 days left for my surgery. Feel free to ask any questions. Cheers
