Regular Member baldbandito Posted June 15, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 Hello friends, I will be having a HT at Eugenix Delhi on 8 July 2022. My surgery was originally scheduled for June 2020, but C19.... The clinic has estimated 2,800 grafts. I have been taking generic finasteride 1.25mg p/d since October 2019 and have included pics from the day I started taking the medication + latest pics taken today (sorry for the low res..) I'm fairly certain the medication has at the very least maintained / slowed the progression of my MPB. I will update the thread again next month and look forward to sharing my journey with you all. Thanks to everyone in the community - I have been a "lurker" for a couple of years now and have learned so much! Cheers, Ben 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member GaryStruthers Posted June 15, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 Awesome!! What’s your approach with your temple points? Best of luck for your surgery! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member baldbandito Posted June 15, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 15, 2022 Thanks Gary! I’m actually not sure but will be guided by the clinic. I’m wanting to keep it conservative as 1 it’s my first transplant 2 I’ve had a high hairline since birth and 3 I’ve always worn my hair long with a fringe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member baldbandito Posted August 2, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 2, 2022 Hello everyone, Photos/ update 25 days post op. Currently shedding a lot of the recipient hair, as anticipated (is there any way to fast forward time?!! Hehe) If you have any questions about surgery / clinic / India - please fire away or send me a DM. shout out to the staff at Eugenix! What everyone says - it’s true. Everyone was so damn professional, kind and accomodating. Now time to battle through the ’ugly ducking phase’ agh. Cheers, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member MazAB Posted August 3, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted August 3, 2022 Very similar hair loss pattern to mine Ben. Work done is very very clean. Like Adrian said, kick back and forget about hair for a while and you'll be 1000% better in 6 to 8 months.😁 Follow my Journey with Eugenix and Dr Arika Bansal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member ahmed9500 Posted September 14, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 14, 2022 Hi, Im also nearly at the 2 month mark and looking like an ugly duckling! However, I am worse than before my HT and started to get a little concerned, are you in the same boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member baldbandito Posted September 15, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 15, 2022 Hey mate I would say my donor healed very well and looks healthy however I experienced shock loss in the mid scalp just behind the recipient area and it still feels numb… I’m told this is totally normal so not panicking - just gotta ride it out. Good luck and try also not to panic 2 months is still very early in the recovery process (though it feels like it’s been 2 years …) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member baldbandito Posted October 4, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 4, 2022 Hey brothers, here is my 2 month update from early September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member baldbandito Posted October 4, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 4, 2022 And here we are at 3 months.. time for my pretty little follicle babies to reveal themselves! As my hair is light in color and fine in texture it’s hard to see them right now but I can def feel growth. also some of the transplanted hair never shed. These have been the longest 3 months of my life, no kidding. And I really need a haircut. Cheers and thanks for following Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member baldbandito Posted October 21, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Hey friends. 15 weeks / 105 days / 3.5 months. Thought I’d have a bit of fun and sprinkle some fibres on my hair line and take a snap in favourable lighting to see what I have to look forward to in the coming months. Also included a couple of old pics from when I buzzed my hair during the first 2020 lockdown (May?)

Senior Member ZeeMan Posted October 21, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 21, 2022 Looking good for 3.5 months, you will have a great result! Who was your Dr? And which package did you select at Eugenix? Cheers! 1 Follow my Journey with Eugenix (Dr. Arika Bansal) - November 2022 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member baldbandito Posted October 21, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Thanks man! but do note this latest set is straight from the r/hairtransplant playbook - unflattering before pics taken in natural light and the afters taken with hair fibres and in bad lighting! Month 4 update will be more realistic .. but for real I’m feeling totally on track, I can feel tons of hairs sprouting that ain’t visible to the eye or camera yet. Real growth doesn’t happen until after M4 anyway. I booked the surgery in 2019 and sadly can’t remember which package I selected or even if they existed back then…the clinic has properly blown up since that time. Following my booking the surgery was delayed for 2 years due to the closed borders and on reflection this was the best thing to happen re my hair as it allowed medication to get to work, gave me a better idea of where my hair loss was at and took the pressure off knowing that at any time I could cancel and only lose the 1 k deposit. hairline design and slits were done by Dr Bansal and the extraction and implanting were done by the techs with a supervising doc in the room at all times (his name escapes me..) Dr Bansal popped in from time to time to review the progress. She is a true professional and I have no regrets so far. Cheers!

Regular Member fadedbyadubie Posted October 24, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted October 24, 2022 just wanted to comment and say your results are looking good!! cant wait to see what it looks like in 6months to a year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MazAB Posted October 24, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted October 24, 2022 Looking very good for only 3.5 months. With color contrast between scalp and hair working in your favor as well as having wavy hair, the appearance of density will be much greater than usual for you. Should be a fantastic end result @baldbandito!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member baldbandito Posted November 9, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Hey, 4 month update. I feel like the growth has really kicked in the past few weeks. The left side is lagging compared to the right, partially on the hair line but I know this is quite common so not panicking. Great to finally get a haircut. Donor looks and feels healthy. Next couple of months should be fun. Thanks for all the kind words and msgs of support 🙂 Edited November 9, 2022 by baldbandito 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
