First of all i would like to thank the HTN owner and the moderator for this wonderful platform which was very helpful to me and many other people like me to get good and healthy information regarding hair issues and would also like to thank all the members over here who are committed to give suggestions and advice to other new members and pass on their knowledge and experiences which helped me and will help millions likes me in future.

And thanks ofcourse to Dr. @Kongkiatfor being so meticulous and super nice to me...i really had a wonderful experience at your clinic ...Be it you or your whole staff , all are very meticulous , helpful and good natured....You all made the toughest day of my life so smooth....So again a big thanks to the whole team of Absolute Hair Clinic for being so wonderful and i wish i will have a great successful outcome too.

𝐇𝐎𝐓𝐄𝐋

I stayed at hotel "White Ivory Bed And Breakfast" which is fairly priced...less than 5 mins walk from the clinic...very clean...excellent staff...i lost my neck pillow somewhere at the airport and the manager gave me her newly bought unused neck pillow..so special thanks to her for being so nice...actually most of the thai people are very generous and kind and friendly....

𝗦𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗗𝗮𝘆

I went to the clinic at 8 am(half hour late) like most of Indian guys who always be late at everything (please don't get offended as this was on a lighter note and didn't want to degrade any country or people 😅)

They did all the blood tests and checked my blood pressure and all and than Dr Laorwong came and checked my head and told me that i need around 6500 grafts for creating an illusion of full head of hair...i was expecting this quote as i believe that i will need somewhere around 6-7k grafts...he explained me about the options....he told me that i can go with fut+fue as i am high nw case and the combo would give more grafts but than i will not be able to keep buzz cut so i didn't took that option as i always keep buzz cut and if the surgery don't go well i may consider shaving off my head with a guard 1 and do smp...and the 2nd option was to go for 2 sessions of fue...1st session with around 3.5k scalp grafts and 2nd session with around 2k scalp + 1k beard grafts and i have chosen that option considering my requirement.So after 1 year i will go for a 2nd session of around 2.5k grafts

He than drew hairline and asked me if i am okay with that but i told him that i want to go for a conservative approach and dont want to lower my hairline and he quickly told me that it would be the best option if i don't be greedy for a lower hairline and take a conservative route as i may need more grafts in future so we went with that approach and than he gave me some antibiotics ,pain killers and sleeping pill (though i didn't sleep throughout the procedure) and we went to the operation room and i laid down and he gave the anesthesia and than he started the extraction process...

All the extraction was done by himself using Trivellini Mamba punch (0.95mm) as he said many of my donor grafts are thick and lowering the punch size may risk in transection of the grafts...after completing all the extraction he asked me to have a break and offered me the lunch...than after may be around 20 mins of lunch break we started the incisions process and that is also fully done by him...he created incisions from hairline to the midscalp ...after that they started the implantation using implanter pen ....there was a senior nurse who had an experience of more than 10years with the same clinic and she specialise in implantation...she told me that she can even do the implantation using forceps if i wish that but according to her implanter pen is more safe and there is very less chance of damage to grafts so i agreed to that...50% of implantation was done by her and 50% was done by Dr Laorwong himself which was a great plus as there are very few doctors who gets involved so much in implantation step too....so i was pleased to see that and he told me that he will do his very best to give me a good outcome...i liked that thing ...i believe that there are lots of factors which affects the outcome but what we need is full on doctor's involvement and dedication to the patient to try and achieve the best outcome possible...so in my opinion he did his best for that part and i couldn't ask for more...in between i asked that if they can show me the hairline and they agreed to it and i told them that i need a bit of correction and Dr laorwong happily agreed to that and did the changes.

Everything went on so smooth and i was happy for this and than they offered me some delicious snacks and juice and gave me the medicines and explained me how to take that....i am staying here for more days as he told me that it would be better if i stay and take LLLTP and head wash for next 4 days which will help in early recovery of wounds and also scabs will not be formed..right now i am not experiencing any pain but lets see how it goes after i complete my medicines course.

So i had a wonderful experience with the clinic and now the worst part (waiting part) started...This long wait really sucks big time...I will try to keep the forum well updated....

Right now i have just one immediate post op pic which a nurse clicked through my phone which i would share and the rest will be shared once i receive them from the clinic.

Today its the 2nd day and i went for the head wash and LLLTP and they told me that they will send me all the pics by tomorrow....

Happy for you. How long did the procedure take and did you feel any pain at all during it? If you're currently not feeling any pain, then you'll most likely be fine. I didn't even need to take the pain killers Laorwong gave me. And looks like they gave you a black bandana too, lol. I was looking everywhere in Bangkok for a black bandana but couldn't find one.

Haha...he was so kind to me that he gave me bandana and even minoxidil and even minoxidil tablets ...i have heard from many people that he dont talk much but you won't believe we had conversation for almost one hour or more...

Procedure took around 8 and half hours...i didn't had pain at all and today i went for shopping at evening and right now am going to a pub 🤪

8.5 hours is quick for 3,000+ grafts. They really are very coordinated in how they operate. I guess you just have to see if you develop any swelling, but doesn't seem like many Laorwong patients do. Enjoy your time in Bangkok. Really can't wait to go back myself.

Great to see that surgeon was involved in so many steps of the surgery. 
That really makes people feel good and less worried about results as they have more trust in the surgeon than their techs.

I liked the approach for hairline and can see many irregularities added to it.

will wait for your updated photos from clinic to comment on the work more as its little blurry to make any honest assessment.

Very good. Hope it all grows well. Do you know the density per sq cm the doctor used throughout your implanted areas?

Thanks ...yeh the density was around 50 per sq centimeter...actually he said 45 to 50 would be fine as more than that may damage my native hair...
