Hair restoration/repair surgery with Eugenix in India | April 2022 | 2526 Grafts

[Ryan Daniel]

Hello all

I have just finished my procedure with @Eugenix Hair Sciencesand wanted to give everyone an update of the whole thing. I want to thank everyone at the clinic for their great service from beginning to end, and forgive me if I am not able to mention all the names involved with my procedure. 

 

Arrival in India and day before surgery (25th of April 2022)

I arrived in Delhi after a very long flight on the early hours of Monday. Airport process took a while but since we had everything correct it was all fine! We were picked up at the airport by a very kind driver from the Hilton hotel. We drove there and immediately went to sleep. A few hours later I woke up and went to have a breakfast.  I got a call from the clinic saying hello and wishing to pick me up.  Anit, the Eugenix driver came with a luxurious car and collected me, it was a short drive. Maximum 3 minutes.  

As soon as I was dropped off the clinic I saw Anil waiting for me by the entrance, shook his hand and he escorted me inside the clinic. I might have complimented his hairline once or twice, I told him Ill have what you had! It was a nice feeling arriving at the clinic and feeling expected, especially by people who probably never saw me or texted me before. I felt like everyone wanted to say hello to me, especially being international and flying for so long just for a hair transplant. I sat in the lobby for some minutes and then Dr. Pradeep Sethi came and greeted me. We joked around about bad hairlines and how unnatural some hairs were hanging on the side of my head. We quickly said that these will be removed first thing as soon as the procedure starts. He introduced me to a few people in the clinic and showed me around for a few minutes. Later on a nurse came and took my blood pressure and did some blood tests that will be required for the procedure next day. After that I was finished and left.

Later in the evening, I visited the clinic again to meet and chat with Dr. Arika Bansal.  We sat down and discussed everything that was needed.  The conversation felt much more real and accurate compared to doing it on the video call. She is a very understanding woman, and she quickly understood what looked right and not right on my hair. We examined the donor area and since I had a lot of bad work done from the back she assured me that the thick hairs will allow me to get good coverage without needing to take a lot of grafts.  In the original consultation I was told that I might need beard grafts but I later on I understood that I wont need to. This wasn't a problem for me, however it is good to keep beard grafts for any future needs (who knows).  About an hour later I met some patients and quickly became friends, since the subject of hair was on everyone's mind! Dr. Pradeep came in the room and said that he wants to take us to his farmhouse for an evening dinner. This was very kind of him!  We went there all together, ate, listened to music and then I returned to the hotel. I also met @Yaasar - The Alpha at the farmhouse. Great guy! He is the hairline repair legend at the clinic. He checked on me many times via text messages and took the time to travel just to come and say hello. Also.. thanks to everyone from the forum who showed interest in me. The continued support was much appreciated!

 

Surgery Day 1 (26th of April 2022)

If I say something that wasn't accurate or missed any parts that you expected me to say... please forgive me

I woke up and had the best breakfast I could. Something that made me full but also something that won't upset my stomach and cause me to stop the procedure to use the bathroom frequently! I was picked up by the clinic and taken there. A small talk was done in a room before going for surgery of what I wanted and what I expected from all of this. They took me in the photography room where we took detailed before photos, they shaved my head and took photos again and started drawing hairlines, temporal points and lines around the donor area where the hair should be taken and where not to be taken. I explained to them to avoid harvesting from areas where there was over harvested from the previous clinic. I was promised that I will have a very balanced graft harvest that will give a balanced look at the back, rather than a patchy one.  The doctors said that the back side of my head looked great but I was still advised to avoid having short haircuts due to the circumstances of what was done previously. I completely agreed.  Dr. Pradeep Sethi did the final adjustments to my hairline and temple points. We drew everything as conservative as possible! I didn't want to be create new areas and worry they wont grow full. I made sure to fill the hairline with singles and make sure the conservative temple points are as dense as possible, with fine and soft single grafts.. all going with the correct directions. He insisted that I didn't remove all the doubles and unhealthy hairs from the hairline, but instead we would add a number of rows of pure single hair grafts that will be taken from the nape area. We also planned to remove 29 grafts that were hanging in wrong directions on the left side of my scalp. These bothered me for 5 years!!  Thank god they are gone.  We also drew into the crown area making sure we can plant as many grafts as we could, and blending some grafts into the midscalp as well so that everything will be joint together. Everything was discussed at that point, I got dressed and moved into the operation room. The technicians greeted me and Dr.Priyadarshini Das was also in the room waiting for me and explaining everything that is about to happen. Received Anesthesia and continued. A few minutes later Dr. Pradeep Sethi came to do the slits for my hair line and temple points. He was adamant that he wanted to be the one responsible to give me this new and natural appearance that I always dreamed about. Slits were done in gabs that I had between transplanted hair from previous surgery which will give me a fuller look and then finally the at the back, doing our best to make sure we get a dense packed crown! When the slits were done, he made sure I felt ok and left the room. The removal of the old grafts began and we planted them in mid scalp. I can't remember how long the process was on this day, but definitely not long. Total slit count on that day was 2526. Which at first was about 200-300 short that what I thought I had planned, but they all assured me that it is enough coverage for different parts of my procedure.

 

Surgery Day 2 (27th of April 2022)

Again I woke up and took a very healthy breakfast. Today would be the long day. I was already mentally prepared for it. I was picked up and arrived at the clinic. I met Satyam there and had a friendly chat. He was the man who organized a lot of things and made sure I had all the hotel and travel requirements arranged. Dr.Priyadarshini Das was in the room with the technicians and we all had a friendly talk together. Some of the techs that were in the room have been at the clinic for longer than 6 years, which made me very comfortable. The extraction process began.  I believe they started with the left side of my back, took out the grafts and planted them in the appropriate recipient area. The same was done for the other side. The nurse that gives me Anesthesia  made sure that I tell them anytime that I feel pain that I must tell them to give me a top up of Anesthesia. I was asked if everything was ok more than once!  As most people repeatedly say over and over, it is probably the only painful part of everything. It hurts... I have thin skin and I felt it. It was something that only stings for 3 seconds and then nothing at all. They were gentle with me, it was all ok. Another painful part was sitting on my face while they extracted grafts from the central part of the donor area. This wasn't something they can control, it was all down to me. But we did managed to do it with some small intervals while I massage my forehead.

As the hours went on, the DHT process began. Out of the back and into the recipient area. I remember there was a moment that made me smile, Dr.Priyadarshini Das was sitting at a short distance from me, wearing her microscopic equipment dissecting my thick grafts into something finer and more natural. I could see a lot of passion and care in that moment. Every step of the procedure, they use microscopes.  Extracting... dissecting and implanting. This is why I chose Eugenix. We mentioned a lot of times that when it came to choosing singles we made sure there are no telogens hidden in them! They continued by implanting the singles into my temple points, starting with singles and moving towards doubles as we go further back. The hairline consisted of grafts that were all taken from the nape area as mentioned. 

Dr. Pradeep Sethi came into the room to check on me, and we did a short talk explaining what we just did so far. They turned on a magnifying camera and showed me half the work done on a big screen.  It was AMAZING. We could see how the grafts were all implanted correctly on the temple points, and since the grafts have tiny hairs coming out they give us a small indication that everything will grow naturally and in correct directions. Most of them where flat and backwards and some were going downwards and backwards. We zoomed in on the hairline also. The detail was out of this world. We could spot out all the fine single grafts that were implanted before the thick wall of grafts that I had previously done. We made sure that we did 4 rows of single grafts to give a soft entrance to the hairline!

They kept asking me if there was anything I want to watch or listen. I told them all to play music that will make everyone in good spirit. It's not only about me, it was also about them. We were all in this together. There were about 2 or 3 washroom breaks in total and a few stops to drink some fresh Gatorade. I was also happy to get a back massage as well! 

Dr.Priyadarshini Das said that now it was time to focus completely on the crown area. They designed a natural whirl pattern for me the day before and now it was time to fill it up with the strongest and thickest grafts we can get our hands on!  Dr. Arika Bansal came to check on me and made sure everything was fine and that I was happy with the process so far. 

After the crown was initially done, we added a few more grafts to strengthen the mid scalp and any small gaps that remained in the frontal zone, scattered around as fillers for a fuller result. I believe the whole process on Day 2 was at least 9 hours! I have to thank the team in there, they were all calm and kind, and they never looked like they were fatigue or tired or have an attitude of wanting to finish fast just to get home. They never joked around with each other or messed around with the tv. They were so focused on me, and I enjoyed it when they were telling me on which part of the scalp they are working on, what type of grafts were being implanted and how I'm feeling They all worked like a well oiled machine.  Some people might think the day was too long for 2.5k grafts, but then again what is the rush? I was told by Anil that the team never rushes and takes every step of the way the same way as the one before it. This ensures quality, care and both patient and tech/doctor remain in good condition physically and mentally. I was completely behind this. 

Towards the end of the procedure Dr. Arika Bansal came for a final check on me and made sure everything was fine and that I was happy with how things went. She is a very busy person, I was happy to see the interest in me.  She also told me that it is important to get on medication when all of this is done. To prevent continues hair loss and make sure that the existing hairs remain healthy at full potential. She said the clinic will provide me with oral medication to take with me.

The surgery finished at 9pm at night. Total graft count was 2526. There was no pain and most of all no messy scalp! Barely any blood patches on my scalp. It was simply the redness that you expect and the fresh implanted graft. Amandeep came into the room in the end and greeted me, after so many WhatsApp conversations it was nice to meet the man who helped me get here. 

A few minutes later they sat me down in the photography room, took the photos and Dr. Pradeep Sethi came in to have a look at everything. He assured me that they did an excellent job on me and wished me a great result. We also filmed a conversation together with the photographer. I wasn't comfortable with it but talking about hair was easy for me. They assured me that any videos used online with have my face blurred. I appreciated that fact.

Dr.Priyadarshini Das came to me again, and took me in a separate room to discuss all the details for the post-OP. This was important to me since all clinics have different approaches. He explained that I will be informed every day about what I should be doing. Each day it was either the same thing or adding something. The medication pills, the forehead massages to prevent swelling and the saline spray for the scalp. The surgical caps, the pillow covers. They also gave me a lovely neck pillow which saved me on the first two nights! I slept peacefully without worrying about brushing my grafts on the bed!

Day 3 post surgery (28th of April 2022)

On this day the recovery started. Eating.. taking medication.. spraying saline spray.. following all the instructions they gave me and doing nothing but relax. 

Most of the day was spent in the hotel! I was called to the clinic to have my donor area washed with Betadine and they showed me how to do it by myself.

 

Day 4 post surgery (29th of April 2022)

Next day I woke up great. The recipient area was already healing great with the continued use of saline spray and I felt confident to go for a walk around the hotel, did some shopping and ordered a pizza. 

We took a private taxi and visited some historical sites.  Places with greenery and not that many people. I believe the peace and good mental health contributed to a steady recovery. My head was covered with the protective surgical cap the whole time outside and also being in the shade as much as possible. Everything was fine from that point.  Spraying the saline solution every hour to keep my scalp clean and moist

 

Day 5 post surgery (30th of April 2022)

Once again, easy sleep and woke up feeling good. I did try to hold myself from looking at the mirror every 4 seconds but I did want to make sure everything was still there, looking healthy and undamaged from the night sleep. I also want to add that I've had no itching or urge to touch anything on the scalp. Swelling was also at a minimum, mainly on the lower part of the forehead! Today was the final day in India and we decided to visit the Taj Mahal. It was a long safe driver with a private car, I didn't have to do anything but sit, arrive, small walk and back again. That's all, safe as can be. Later on that evening I was invited to the clinic again, I purchased oral medication and they did a final wash for the donor area. They explained that since I won't be here I will have to be careful doing the 7th day wash of the recipient area myself by following their instructions carefully. Nothing to be worried about! I said my goodbyes to Amandeep, Satyam and Dr. Arika.. and thanked them for their service and said goodbye.  Anil called me to say that Dr. Pradeep wanted to invite me over for a dinner, I happily accepted and we drove there. Fantastic food and hospitality. Dr. Pradeep Sethi and the other doctors are all excellent for anyone considering hair restoration. It's that simple. We said goodbye to him and some of the technicians that were also at the farmhouse for dinner! Later on that night I returned to my hotel to try and have a good sleep before my flight the next morning.

I would have liked to stay longer, for a more relaxing recovery and a recipient area wash by the clinic but I couldn't afford it. I am now sitting at home recovering. I don't think I missed out of anything crucial, I tried my best to write in detail! All I can say is that I had a good experience and a professional approach when it came to the procedure. If anyone out there is looking for a safe place to go for surgery, consider Eugenix part of your list. I can honestly say you are in good hands with these people and you can trust them.  I certainly trusted them, especially with my donor area that was already depleted and I trusted them to give me a natural hairline! 

Day 6 post surgery  (1st of May 2022)

Leaving India. Overall I had a good stay and had very minimum complaints, all of which had nothing to do with the clinic! Didn't sleep too much due to having to wake up super early for the flight back home, but the most important thing was that the grafts were safe and intact. The hotel drove me to the airport and flew back home. 

I've put all my trust into Eugenix and as we know there are a handful of excellent clinics in the world, but I decided to travel a long journey to choose them based on their history with changing peoples lives, natural results and what they can do for my specific case. I look forward to the first 2 months to be over and patiently see the new growth. 

I know some of you might think the hairline is too low in the photos below.... and the temples can appear quite aggressive. Hairline is 6cm in length which is on the lower side. I tried to make sure the clinic did a conservative job to frame my face. The temple points are also not symmetrical, which I trust that Dr. Pradeep designed it well and hopefully it will grow natural with all the singles that we planted and on the first rows of the hairline! I also believe the extraction was so clean and punch holes are so tiny, that you are now seeing just the mess that was done from turkey... we tried to even it out. Hopefully it grows nicely at the back. If anyone is wondering what that black patchy stuff on my donor area is.. its SMP.  

PS. I am currently on daily 1mg Finasteride medication

That's all for now

What a fantastic write up ! Very detailed account 👍🏽 The work looks impeccable, and the donor extraction looks superb. Yet another Eugenix thread to follow 🤣 

[ITA]

Great write, can I tell you that from the pics , your hairline wasn't that bad?  There are far worse ones, in any case, I'm sure this will be a very good final result.  Good luck.

[Yaasar - The Alpha]

It was nice meeting you brother 🙂

[GaryStruthers]

Wow! Great write up Ryan. This was exactly what I needed to get pumped about my August surgery. You mentioned you would have liked to have stayed longer. What would the hotel price per night run you in $US? I’m hoping to stay for 6 or 7 days as well.

Hello friend, 

I would discuss that with the logistics guy if I were you. The clinic will pay for the first 2 or 3 nights I believe, the rest will be paid by you. Ask them how much they are charging per night as Hotel may differ for everyone

Good luck for you procedure in August! 

[Melvin- Admin]

Congratulations @Ryan Daniel do excited to follow your journey 👏🏼

[Gatsby]

A brilliant write up @Ryan Daniel with what will be an equally brilliant result! 👌

[Bandit90]

Great write up Ryan! I’m so happy for you. The work looks so clean. I have every confidence this will be yet another Eugenix home run result!

It wasn’t something that I request, but after he saw that I needed to remove pluggy grafts from the left side of my head, he decided that he wanted to be responsible for the design of the temple points and do the slits with correct angles and directions that will give a natural result for me

[NARMAK]

Great write up Daniel and really chuffed for you. Happy growing and will be following along. I'm due to head out myself and get mine done in 2 weeks. So hopefully also can benefit from your experience too. 

I'm actually pretty surprised at how dense packed they made your temple points. Both are over 250 grafts each and the left side temple looked in that pre-op to be quite good. Should look even more amazing! 

Happy healing and don't worry. 6cm is NOT too low imo. It seems to frame your face really well and looks good.

Agree I was also quite impressed with the temples. Can't wait to see how they turn out!

Ryan the post-op looks great. Happy healing.

Update

I must say recovery has been an absolute breeze! Maybe it was because this was my second surgery and I expected everything. Nothing was messy, maybe it was because I only had 2500 grafts? or maybe because the clinic did such a clean job! Pillows and sheets never had blood stains on them, even the night post op. Sleeping was so easy the first week since I'm used to sleeping on my back, and the neck pillow was comfortable that it never bothered me. There was one night where mosquitos were buzzing around my bedroom, I had to sleep with the blue surgical cap because I became paranoid if one of them stung my recipient area! 

I had minimal swelling on the forehead for maximum 2 days but nothing after. Saline spray kept my scalp fresh and I had very very minimal scabs. Quite surprising. No itching on the grafts and redness was at a minimum. I had some itching on the donor area after coming out of the shower for some reason but now it's quite over. I  sprayed saline on the donor area whenever it was itching. The only negative part was that I had to go outside wearing a loose cap and also had to return to work. I returned to work and wore a cap at day 8, which is would assume the grafts are well secured but I was always careful and gentle.. I didn't want the scabs to pull off with the cap and dislodge anything. Who knows? I made it my priority to be careful and I delayed the head scrubbing/washing because no matter what people said, if something went wrong I would be the one to pay the consequences.

Everyone has different post-op approaches, some people say grafts are secure after 4 days? 5days? some even wait 14 days before scrubbing the scalp? I don't know.  I went with my experience and gut feeling. You also make decisions based on how it looks if you really know what you're doing. Basically if you have a head full of scabs, thick and messy, you're gonna wanna spray them and clean them without contact... and let them decrease naturally. If you're scalp heals with minimal scabs, I would avoid trying to scrub them, but instead let them fall off easily. Either way I'm sure the grafts are well secured after 7 days, but lets just take everything in a safe approach!  At work there was no stress or lifting heavy object though, everything was fine. Now I'm looking forward for the scalp to be completely clean, I will be performing a good head wash tonight with baby shampoo and then we wait for the shedding faze to arrive.

 

Day 1 next day post surgery 

Healing easy at hotel, very minimum redness

Sorry I don't have photos from the back, I wasn't stressing myself how the back looked during healing period

 

 

 

Day 5 post surgery 

Recovering at home, scabs slowly appearing

 

 

Day 9 post surgery 

Most of the scabs naturally fell off. I continued spraying saline solution which softened which never allowed the scabs to get hard and nasty, and showered my head gently with just a plastic cup water on day 7 and 8

 

Back side

 

I believe the crown is doing great. Happy the way it's filled and healed as well.

My poor donor area took has been through a lot, I know it looks terrible but I'm sure everyone's donor looks like this for the first 2 weeks. 

SMP is showing hard since the hair length are short

I'm praying it grows back full like it was, because the extractions made by Eugenix felt very minimal which is a bonus for me

 

Day 10 post surgery 

Tonight I will perform the proper head wash to make sure the tiny scabs left are gone and simply let everything take its course after that

 

 

Thanks for now, I will keep update in a couple of weeks!

Great update Ryan and honestly looks really well framed and done on the frontal area. 

I actually think i'm going to use your picture to show the more flat and shallow M shape design i'd like too lol. Just a slight tweak on the temporal point angles though to be a bit more vertical for myself but your hairlines gonna look amazing man. 

Can't wait to follow your journey and post my own soon. Just 10 days left till i fly out and hopefully will post a thread myself. Love your formatting so might rob it lol

[drawdownfx]

Really good to see they have done a good job with the angles on the temple line. Hairline looks on point as usual from Eugenix. 

[Britanium]

Fantastic update @Ryan Daniel👍🏽 It’s healing very well, you have been taking very good care of it 👌 

[Ryan Daniel]

Day 12 post surgery 

Quick update from me. Scabs are practically all off now. I have a little dry skin left on the crown around the grafts but those will come off tonight for sure. I didn't scrub hard, I took it gently for the 2 days after initial head wash with baby shampoo and rinsed away with saline solution. After seeing all the crusting fall off, I was happy to see all the soft singles that were implanted all across the hairline and the outer entrance of the temple points. At this part of the journey we have a rough estimate of what is what, and how it was implanted while also giving us an estimated idea how things will look in the future if we decided to shave everything off.

I was immensely happy to see that there are only singles in the hairline, after living many years with a thick wall of doubles from the previous surgery. After the implantations were made in the operation theatre we used a high magnification camera that zoomed in on the hairline and it showed clearly what was implanted and the directions as well. They ensured me that the grafts I wanted to be implanted, were implanted where I wanted them. I felt secure and assured that I was getting what I paid for. Doing this was a very professional touch by @Eugenix Hair Sciences

So far everything seems to be healing fine, I was probably more careful than I should be. I'm doing my best to keep the cap off! I only wear it for work! But I guess at 12 days the grafts are completely safe. I still wear the cap though because I don't want sun exposure to make the pink scalp to last longer than it must...

Regarding previous transplant, I can still notice the thicker grafts with bad directions growing in my left side, it's not a big issue but I wish I would of removed more than just 30 grafts. Hopefully the newer grafts will completely camouflage the bad work done previously and hide everything since all the softer grafts on the temple points are 6 rows in front of the pluggy grafts.   I'm also 11 days since taking 1mg oral Finasteride everyday, hopefully I can benefit from results after 6-10 months and continue using it. It would be a shame if my hair didn't respond to it, I'm taking it with high hopes and positive attitude 👍

 

 

 

 

 

Now I will patiently wait for the shedding faze to happen, which is due in about 2 or 3 weeks eventually

 

 

Thanks for now, my next update will be next month!

At this part of the journey we have a rough estimate of what is what, and how it was implanted while also giving us an estimated idea how things will look in the future if we decided to shave everything off.

I was immensely happy to see that there are only singles in the hairline, after living many years with a thick wall of doubles from the previous surgery. After the implantations were made in the operation theatre we used a high magnification camera that zoomed in on the hairline and it showed clearly what was implanted and the directions as well. They ensured me that the grafts I wanted to be implanted, were implanted where I wanted them. I felt secure and assured that I was getting what I paid for. Doing this was a very professional touch by @Eugenix Hair Sciences

So far everything seems to be healing fine, I was probably more careful than I should be. I'm doing my best to keep the cap off! I only wear it for work! But I guess at 12 days the grafts are completely safe. I still wear the cap though because I don't want sun exposure to make the pink scalp to last longer than it must...

Regarding previous transplant, I can still notice the thicker grafts with bad directions growing in my left side, it's not a big issue but I wish I would of removed more than just 30 grafts. Hopefully the newer grafts will completely camouflage the bad work done previously and hide everything since all the softer grafts on the temple points are 6 rows in front of the pluggy grafts.   I'm also 11 days since taking 1mg oral Finasteride everyday, hopefully I can benefit from results after 6-10 months and continue using it. It would be a shame if my hair didn't respond to it, I'm taking it with high hopes and positive attitude 👍

 

 

 

 

 

Now I will patiently wait for the shedding faze to happen, which is due in about 2 or 3 weeks eventually

 

 

Thanks for now, my next update will be next month!

 

You're looking pretty solid post-op and thanks for sharing the update. 

The angles on your temple points are interesting because one side is very much set all going in the same direction (right temple?) but the left side for some reason are turned a bit differently. Interesting observation that hopefully will have no impact upon the final results hopefully.
