George M Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Last year my hair line was really getting me down. My hair was quickly receding and I was forever telling people that it didn't bother me, however, I found myself forever wearing hats when I was out in public. In fact I was frequently wearing hats when in the house. I had read about FUE hair surgery and I thought that I would make some enquiries. After speaking to several clinics, I came across Dr Mani's profile online. He had a fantastic write up and so many great reviews. I spoke to Dr Mani via a video call and very quickly after joining the call, I knew that he was the right surgeon for me. Dr Mani was open and honest, explaining the procedure in detail. What I especially liked with Dr Mani was his clarity in terms of the type of hairline he provides his patients. A lot of people I have seen who have had a hair transplant go for a hairline that is very straight edged, making it not look very natural. Dr Mani looks to provide his patients with a natural looking hairline which fits the contours of your face, as well as, a hairline which will look natural with age. This was exactly what I was looking for. I had my surgery back in November. Before the surgery begun, Dr Mani went through the process of what the surgery will entail and drew on a hairline of which we both agreed was the most suitable. The surgery itself is a long process where the morning is taken up by the extraction of the follicles, followed by the afternoons follicle implanting. Yes, the surgery took around 8 hours in total, however, Dr Mani and his team were great in keeping me relaxed and entertained with conversation. After the operation, Dr Mani went through the after care in detail and explained everything I should be doing. With this he asked me to update him daily for the first 2 weeks with pictures of the implanted area. Post operation was not the easiest nor the most comfortable. Every 30 minutes for the first 2 weeks, I had to spray the implanted area with saline solution. In addition, I had to sleep in an upright position in order to protect my head. The swelling was quite intense for the first couple of days but soon went down. In addition, the implanted area did scab very quickly. Daily I had to wash my hair by dripping soap suds onto the area. As days went by and after Dr Mani reviewing my updates, he guided me in terms of how to deal with the scabbing on my head. In order for the process and post op to be most successful, the scabs that have formed on the implanted area need to be removed. When cleaning the area with the soap suds, progressively over the first 2 weeks I had to massage the area and slowly increasing the firmness of the massage. This I did find a little daunting at first, however, the scabs did fall of relatively easy after applying slight pressure when massaging the area. Following the 2 weeks post op, I could go back to a normal life and although initially the implanted area starts to shed, my hair has quickly grown in. The results have blown me away and 8 months post op, my hair has grown in rapidly. I provide monthly updates to Dr Mani and I could not thank him enough for the terrific work he has done and the advice he has provided me throughout the process, pre and post op. If anyone is looking to have a hair transplant, I would definitely recommend Dr Mani and my one regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hair has now fully grown in and what has been most impressive is how natural everything looks. Dr Mani focuses on providing the most natural hair line, with the results showing amazing growth without it looking like a hair transplant. Dr Mani still keeps in touch with me, asking for updates and providing support in relation to any questions I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best it reads like this patient was asked to come on here and post rather than someone who came here of their own accord to engage and document their journey. The work looks really good nevertheless, If Dr Mani is asking patients to post here (which is fine), it would be nice if Dr M himself posted and offered his insights, experience and cases as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member RTC Posted June 19, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 19, 2023 (edited) I don't like shady marketing techniques and boiler plate reviews clearly provided by the surgeon to patients so they can post.

You are definitely a 'Dr Mani' stan. You either work for him or you are him. Time to come clean bud. This isn’t really the way to engage with a new poster, mate. I agree there’s a lack of authenticity in the write up compared to what we’re used to, and it would be nice if the OP was transparent about that. But ultimately if the OP is a patient then it would good to engage and hear from them in their own words rather than subject them to accusations. It would be great to have another good surgeon in the UK producing high level, natural looking work distinct from the innumerable god-awful clinics we have. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until you see the guy get to know his work and his ptients you haven’t got a clue. And I won’t back down on this one because if the above ptient is real and there’s no reason to think he isn’t, given what he has written half way through the thread, then no wonder he doesn’t come back to repost.
