Regular Member Indian_Canadian Posted April 20, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Hello Folks! This is my second thread on this Forum. My previous thread intended to seek suggestions and gain insight about best FUE surgeons in India. I am very grateful to this forum for all the help. If you want to look at my initial photos please refer to that thread. In this thread I will only record my surgery experience and the journey post-surgery. Ultimately one has to make a decision and I have booked my HT with Eugenix at their Gurgaon location on June 18, 2020. I have selected their most affordable pkg. More excited than me are my friends and relations who have tried everything to save their hair, but never had the courage to opt for a HT. I think a lot of them would follow suit if I get good results. I made this booking about 1 month ago or so when COVID-19 was still not a pandemic and I was hoping that things would calm down by the end of May at most and the self Isolation rules for international passengers arriving in India would be relaxed. Lets see how things unfold. Lot of uncertainty for now. Looking forward to meet @GabreilleN @Abhinay Singh and team Eugenix in June!! Also hoping that the clinic staff and their families stay safe, healthy, and sustain financially in this tough time!

Regular Member Indian_Canadian Posted December 20, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 20, 2021 Hello Folks, Reviving this thread. My initially booked date of June 18, 2020 had to be postponed multiple times due to COVID and that's why I never updated this thread, but now I am scheduled for the surgery on Dec 28 in Mumbai. During the course of this duration, I have been in contact with Nelson, Sahil, Kaushal, and Rishabh from Team Eugenix and they have all been fantastic and very cooperative. I will post my next update with photos after the surgery and a description of the experience. @Melvin- Moderator @Eugenix Hair Science @Eugenix Hair Sciences 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Indian_Canadian Posted December 31, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 31, 2021 Dec 30 update (48 hours after surgery) Hi Folks, So I had a good time at the clinic on the 28th. I had provided the full payment for 3000 grafts, negative RT-PCR report, and blood test results beforehand and was asked to be at the clinic at 7AM. I was greeted by Imraan and taken to the photo studio where pre-surgery photos were taken and then provided a change of clothes for the surgery. A technician checked my BP and thereafter, I met Dr. Bansal and she was very open about taking my input on how I wanted the hair line to look so I showed her some previous photos of mine to provide her with visual details of how my hairline used to be and then surrendered the rest to her expertise and did not meddle with her design. After another round of photos with a shaved head and proposed hairline markings, I was taken to the surgery room. It was a calm and relaxing atmosphere there with some music playing on the TV. I was asked to lie down and was injected with local anesthetics in the recipient area first. That was probably the only painful part of the entire surgery (and also later when the donor was injected). Apart from these 15-20 minutes, the remaining surgery was relatively painless. Dr. Bansal made the hairline slits in the first 15 minutes or so and then Dr. Priyadarshini took over to complete the remaining majority of the surgery with assistance of Eugenix trained technicians. There was a team of technicians local to Mumbai but I believe some technicians had flown in from Delhi as well. There were multiple surgeries that day. People kept moving in and out of the surgery room while I just lay there as they extracted from the donor area and implanted in the recipient. At about 3 PM, I was asked about what I wanted to eat and they ordered an egg rice bowl for me which I only ate after the surgery was completed at 4.30 PM. I had requested the technicians to have lunch but I guess everyone wanted to complete the surgery first. Just before the surgery completion, Dr. Priyadarshini informed me that they had been able to extract and implant 3000 grafts and that the grafts were of great quality. I asked her and the technicians if they thought that the surgery went well and they seemed very satisfied and happy with their work and the outcome. I was taken to the studio for some post-surgery photos and then to a private area where I had my lunch. After my lunch, I was given a Eugenix bag with medical prescription (7 day course), saline water spray and refill, bandages for cleaning the donor, surgeon caps for outdoor wear, an absorbent pad to protect the pillow from donor area blood, and medicines for 1 day. Imraan briefed me about how to use everything and said that I will receive daily follow up messages with further instructions and videos, which I have been receiving from Kaushal on whatsapp (and are very helpful and specific). I had some questions for Kaushal which were promptly answered on whatsapp. I was asked by Imraan to visit the clinic again on Jan 4 for a headwash, which I will and post a 7 day update on this forum after that. Meanwhile, I have posted some photos from Day 0 (Dec 28) and Day 1 (Dec 29). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Indian_Canadian Posted January 3, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hi Folks, Attaching photos from Day 5 (2 Dec) after my 3000 grafts HT with Eugenix. There was unbearable itching on Day 2 and 3 in the recipient area, but has subsided considerably now. The oozing from donor area stopped on the 3rd night completely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MazAB Posted January 26, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted January 26, 2022 Very clean work done here! I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot more of Dr Das's work as she's risen up the ranks in the recent months. I'll be following closely. We would love to see some updated shots before the shedding kicks in.😉 Follow my Journey with Eugenix and Dr Arika Bansal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MazAB Posted February 1, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 1, 2022 Looks great at the 3 week mark! BTW, what was Norwood level before going in for surgery? Any before surgery shots you could provide for comparison's sake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Indian_Canadian Posted February 1, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) @MazAB I think it was NW4 before the surgery. I don't have photos from immediately before the surgery (they are with the clinic) but photos taken by me about 2 years before surgery are shown in the link below.
