Senior Member Domino Posted November 29, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 29, 2021 So last year someone I know revealed to me they had a hair transplant. I was really impressed it. He showed me his before pictures and said I should think about getting it done. I’ve been buzzing my head for 6-7 years and at a NW6-7 I was thinking I’m too far gone, nether less the seed was planted and my hair journey begins. So I grew my hair out to see what I was working with. I was bordering on a NW7. Started doing some research online and realized I could get a HT although not full coverage. I started to get excited and thought about going to clinic in Turkey where my friend went but instead I decided to go to a local Doctor. I had a consultation and hastily booked with that Doctor for 2500 grafts FUT. After a while thinking about have strip surgery and dealing with the scar I backed out and canceled. I decided I’m going to do FUE instead. Start getting some online consultations. I ones I reached out to were Dr Bhatti, Eugenix, and HLC. They all roughly said about the same. I have roughly 3500 max donor plus 500 beard grafts which would give me a hairline and light coverage in the back. Although interestingly Dr Bhatti said he would use chest hair too. Also HLC said they won’t accept me unless I’m on medication for 6-12 months. This was Jan 2021 so I soon realized going to India anytime soon wasn’t going to happen with the travel restrictions. I started using minoxidil and got on finasteride…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SLA Posted November 29, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 29, 2021 Hi @Domino- Looks good. I am surprised, your donor from the looks of it seems as if it could handle more than 3,500 grafts. Did Eugenix confirm that you maxed out on grafts?

Senior Member Domino Posted November 29, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 29, 2021 Thanks @Mggm @SLAI hope I’m not maxed out but they didn’t say. I’m 39 I know I’m probably going to continue to lose hair. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member SLA Posted November 29, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted November 29, 2021 I see....they probably were referring to what could be extracted in 1 surgery. Top doctors will generally not extract more than 25% of donor in one go via FUE. So if you have a very average donor of 15k follicular units, you can harvest 40%-45% of those in a lifetime totaling 6k-6.5k grafts. 25% of 15,000 is 3,750, so you likely have an extra 2-3k grafts left in the bank. Again, I am an amateur and this just a guess at how these things were figured. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Domino Posted November 29, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 29, 2021 @SLAlooking at my donor it’s red and inflamed from the surgery of course, so it’s a kind of hard to tell whats what but it doesn’t look depleted though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Domino Posted November 30, 2021 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 30, 2021 Thanks @rob7331I went with the exclusive package. It was 7600 usd for 4000 grafts. I honestly don’t think it matters what package you choose except the fact the exclusive package includes hotel and rides from the airport and hotel and back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
