Regular Member Tony711 Posted March 5, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted March 5, 2022 (edited) Hey Guys!, I finally went through with it and flew to India and did my HT with Dr Sethi from Euginex! The team at Euginex have been amazing. From my first contact with Amandeep, then mostly with Satyam and of course Dr Sethi. I will try to make it short. If you search my screen name you can see my post from 2006 and the experience I had from 1996 which was awful. So I was very hesitant to do another HT and specially flying all the way from DC to India. I arrived on Feb 27th and the driver from Euginex picked me up and took me to my hotel. I thought I arrive two days early to beat the jet lag and be ready for the procedure on March 1st and 2nd. These were the dates set for 2000 grafts. On the 28th Feb I went in the late afternoon to do some blood work and that’s when it hit me. I was thinking what the hell am I doing?!! I flew half the globe to India to a hair transplant when I could just shave it and be happy with the SMP. Anyways , the anxiety started to kick in. On the day of the surgery , March 1st the driver picked me up around 9am. Once at the clinic I changed clothes and waited for Dr Arika, she came in and we talked a little then she left. Then Dr Sethi walked in and I felt like I know this guy for years! Whatever anxiety I had went away, he was very down to earth and just a happy guy. He took one look at my beard and my chest hair and said we can give you full head of hair!! Probably 10,000 to 12000 grafts. I was not expecting that, he said let’s do 3000 grafts. So we decided to do 3000 instead of 2000. 518 was scalp and 2500 beard. He told me my beard is very good and can probably do the crown too. So we started the procedure and it took 3 days until March 3rd. i stayed at the farm house from the 1st to the 3rd March. It’s an amazing property. I was treated like a royalty. @Melvin- Moderator Wasn’t joking about the place. It was very nice. i finally met @Melvin- Moderator, @Gatsby and @Zoomster via video chat and it was definitely nice chatting with them for a few minutes. Made me more relax. So thank you guys! One thing I noticed about Dr Sethi is he personally in contact with his patients and always checking on them even way after the procedure. You don’t get this from the other doctors and specially not from the ones in the US. Here my pics 2 days post op. I have also linked below a separate thread when I was looking for advise on which doctor to go too and you can see my before pics there.

Regular Member quantumhair Posted March 6, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted March 6, 2022 All the best to you @Tony711. I have these questions if you could answer. I see from the picture that the donor in your case was around ears as opposed to the back of the head. Is it because of donor scarcity on back of the head? Also, the beard hairs were used above the chin 👍possibly to get more coverage. I recently had a hair transplant at Eugenix. Checkout and let me know your feedback. https://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/topic/63068-eugenix-3000-grafts-grade-67-my-first-hair-transplant-february-28-2022/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, Dr Sethi was able to extract from around the ear area and close to the sideburn areas. Managed to get 512 grafts or so. The rest was from beard which was 2500 grafts. He also took grafts from above the chin too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member NARMAK Posted March 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted March 11, 2022 You look like you're really healing well for post-op and the redness should abate hopefully. Look forwards to seeing the results in 12 months and of course along the way. Always love hearing when you get better than expected news. Hell, those body hair grafts trying to pop out the robe and to the top of the head already! All the best Tony. 1 Follow my first Hair Transplant Journey!

That was sooooo painful and took such a long time to heal. This was a breeze. And yeah the body hair are next to attack and put in the crown area. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
