Senior Member HCH Posted April 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 8, 2021 (edited) Hey Guys, Finally i did it !!! After 5 years of researching and exploring all non-surgical treatments, I felt confident this time to take the plunge looking to regain my hairline which I lost 10 years ago. Hopefully i won't regret it 😬About Me38 years old, diffuse thinner with a high receding hairline and NW6 family history. Have been on Min, Derma rolling and Multivitamins for almost 15 months. Recently, i added low dose fin/ 1mg on alternative days (3 Months now with no side effects). you can check my below thread for more details. Why Dr ArikaDo I need to explain ? Look at her real patient results and make up your conclusion! Simply, she answered all my questions, cleared my doubts and assured me the best result. Eugenix Team Well organized, professional and very responsive. They did their best to make me comfortable and meet my expectation even though they were overloaded. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to Eugenix team @Abhinay Singh. It was an amazing experience. Surgical Details FUE 0.9 mm punch 1s = 90 2s = 981 3s = 10454s = 405 5s= 20 (7 partially transected) Total - 2541 grafts / 6900 Hairs / 2.7 Average Pre & Post Op Photos Edited April 8, 2021 by HCH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member j1mmy Posted April 8, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted April 8, 2021 Congratulations again, I'm sure it's going to be great. And decent hair/graft average helps :)! I imagine they split grafts to get enough single hairs at Eugenix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Britanium Posted April 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 8, 2021 Excellent work ! More grafts than the original plan of 2200. Love the hairline design. No doubts this will become another excellent Eugenix result 🙏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took a pic of the white board during the surgery. Dr. Arika extracted few single grafts from behind my ears at the end of the procedure to soften my hairline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the hairline design. No doubts this will become another excellent Eugenix result 🙏 Thanks a lot, actually i changed the design several times. Initially, it was more aggressive and straight then i asked Dr. Arika to curve it slightly up on the temples so i can save some grafts and use it to thicken up my forelock. Maybe you can notice the difference in this photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member SLA Posted April 8, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 8, 2021 Fantastic @HCH! Thanks for sharing the breakdown. Did they implant into the crown area or just the front? Also, what nationality are you? Being Caucasian myself, I am keeping a close eye on the non-Indian patient results. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I preferred not too touch the crown at this stage for several reasons. I am a Lebanese national living in Dubai. They have many Caucasian cases and now planning to open a branch in Dubai for international patients. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HCH Posted April 12, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 12, 2021 7th day update: I had my 1st wash this morning and most of the scabs are out. My recipient is still red with few dark dots along the hairline. Donor seems to be very good at this point, i didn't expect that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Curious25 Posted April 12, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted April 12, 2021 Looks great, very clean work and a lovely hairline design. Any plans to address the crown? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HCH Posted April 12, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 12, 2021 Thank you all, the waiting game just started. Hope everything will go as planned. I didn't want to address the crown as there is a high probability it may expand. I am on finasteride now so it's better to wait for another 6 months and assess its efficacy. Also by this time, i will have an idea about my end result so i can plan accordingly. Dr. Arika suggested 1500 for the crown but i think 2000 would provide a better density. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member HCH Posted October 22, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 22, 2021 Hey Guys, it's been long time since last update, I decided to wait until the 6th months mark to post my result. Here's some photos before and after hair cut. I got a nasty pimple no one punched me 😉 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
