Regular Member kiwidan Posted May 27, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) Day 0 Currently heading to Delhi to Eugenix from New Zealand. I’m booked for 4000ish grafts on Monday. Very nervous and miss my 6 month old son and wife. I’ve had 3500 FUT previously from Jerry Cooley. That transplant left me feeling confident and good about my hair for around 8 years. I want another transplant because my crown has been balding for a few years now and I also want to thicken up my hair around my first transplant. Dr Sethi, like she has for many others, has recommended adding grafts to my temples. I’m not usually on any meds but I’m on a low dose of fin at the moment to mitigate shockloss. I get side effects. Enough said. Things were okay on Oral Min but eventually I got water retention in my face and got puffy eyes so I had to stop. I’m fairly convinced if you have a good diet and exercise a lot this side effect is likely to be mitigated as you’ll have less excess water in your body. That said, life isn’t always conducive to vigilant exercise. This brings me back to HTs and Eugenix. I’ve witnessed more than enough success stories now and I’m putting my trust them for this next part of my journey. Hopefully this is it for me. I’d very much like to get my hands on some Xyon topical dusteride but it’s not for sale in NZ yet. It’s my opinion that HTs with Xyon Topical Dusteride are the new gold standard - just hope I can get my hands on it soon. Wish me luck!

Regular Member kiwidan Posted June 1, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Day 1 post op From the morning of day one, through to the evening of day three when my third HT experience concluded, I felt well looked after and in caring hands. On the morning of Day 1 Dr Arika Bansal and I decided on our plan of attack and we got stuck in! Yep. Stuck. In. After Eugenixs took the obligatory before photos and other prep work I was led to my room and they got started. Today I feel great. I quite like my new look.

Regular Member kiwidan Posted June 3, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 3, 2023 Day 3 post op - I’m feeling great about my procedure and my time spent in Gurugram. I have had hardly any scabbing for which I am feeling blessed. I can only put this down to vigilant use of the saline spray which I try to use every 45 minutes. I don’t think it’s because I have any inherent super powers. Anybody else NOT get scabs? ------------------------------------- 700 graphs is never enough!

Regular Member kiwidan Posted June 3, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 3, 2023 I’ve had a beard for the past 15-20 years.

Senior Member Spring15 Posted June 3, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted June 3, 2023 Hah interesting. I've never grown a beard or stach ever. Shave every second day lol Yes I've had a transplant with Dr Pekiner 4 months ago, my second transplant The scabs should form anytime around now though, then you should remove them around day 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member kiwidan Posted June 10, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 10, 2023 Day 10 From the front the grafts look plentiful. I couldn’t be happier. My own mental jury is still out regarding the crown. It looks less full of grafts. But they could be the light. I’ll take some naturals soon. I already have graft greed, I’m thinking about going back in a year to get my fut scar filled up. Or maybe just some of it. 2 ------------------------------------- 700 graphs is never enough!

Regular Member kiwidan Posted June 28, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 28, 2023 Day 28 It's been an interesting week as I have been noticing lots of small black transplanted hairs falling out. It's a nerve wracking time, I know shedding is inevitable but I have clearly been in denial about it. From a recovery point of view things are going great. These photos are here for me just as much as they are for you. I've marked out the areas where my new hairline was transplanted so I can monitor it and review on day 365. 1 ------------------------------------- 700 graphs is never enough!

Regular Member kiwidan Posted August 21, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted August 21, 2023 Three months. First week vs three months. Where oh where have all my precious grafts gone. Any thoughts or comments on donor from side view. I’m not overly concerned but I wonder whether it looks over harvested to you guys. ------------------------------------- 700 graphs is never enough!

No, I don't think that your donor is looking over harvested. Donor has recovered very well. And with time it'll recover more.
