Akeso - any experience with Dr. Akhilesh Jhangid

[S Butt]

Norwood stage 3, planning for a hair transplant in New Delhi. 

Does anyone have any experience with the work of Dr. Jhangid at Akeso Clinics ?

I have never seen any reviews of him over here...but i know about the clinic and i don't think you should risk it....in india you can check out eugenix and if you are open to travel to other countries than you will have many more options ...

Hi Archan, thank you for your comments. Yes I did go through all the posts about Turkey and Eugenix. 

However I am concerned about the lower package of Eugenix being done by less trained doctors.

Dr. Jhangid takes care of each and every step in the procedure as per his website. I like his techniques of using 25x microscope for graft extraction and DHI using Choi implanters.. Of course, I will do a consultation before I take any decision

Do you have any specific comments about or cases that you know of from his clinic ?

Thank you for your help Archan.

Thank you for your help Archan.

For Eugenix I don't agree with this "less trained doctors"  All the doctors are highly trained. Only based on their total surgeries performed with Eugenix packages are designed

Even if you select comprehensive package which is the Lowest in terms of price you'll get the same experience. You can check some of the results of comprehensive package. Moreover, there might be many information written on the website. But at the end, executing the procedure perfectly matters the most. Doctors won't be doing every steps. So technicians need to be well trained also. It is a team work basically.

The reason for my concern is your question itself, for which i don't have answer ...from my research i didn't find any...ask him to give 15-20 contacts numbers of his patients and than you may talk to them and check yourself 

This 25x and all is marketing gimmicks and don't fall for that...only end results matter

Even i was worried of the results by junior doctors from eugenix but now they have started to publish them and even some patients are posting their journey with them and you can check them though all of them are still at early stage ...but still imo they would be better but you can do your own research and take decision based on your findings as at the end its you who will have to go through the process and not me or anyone else....

Thank you @Shadman. However, there are clear packages that Eugenix advertises, with the lowest ones done by Eugenix trained doctors. Nothing wrong with that but obviously there is a difference between the different packages and the people who perform the procedure. It is very important for certain important steps to be performed by a well trained doctor as you rightly pointed out. and team work is integral.

I will take a repeat look at the Eugenix results. Most of the posts from Eugenix here show excellent results, so I have no doubts they do an excellent job. Just want to make sure that all their packages show successful results before I book.

Yes, take your time and do your research. I also had few confusion regarding the doctors. But once you'll have consultation I believe your confusion will be cleared. What I am saying that over the years result producing by Eugenix is very consistent. So even you select the lowest package apart from the doctor there won't be any changes at all.

@S Buttdid you end up with jhangid?

[S Butt]

Yes, I did. I have attached pre-transplant and 4 month post-transplant photos. 

The overall experience was good. It is not a big clinic. The Dr. is professional and clear up front. Answered all my questions during initial consult

He implanted around 3200 grafts in total. The procedure was overall painless but the table and set up was not comfortable. I guess I did not tolerate laying down on my face well. The post-op course was OK- lots of swelling. I was called for a cleaning session 3 days later. 

Outcome has been not super impressive. I can see some empty spots and the density implanted is not great overall. Maybe it improves over time. I think a higher density would have been better but the doctor is the professional, so he would have taken the best decision. Happy to answer questions

You are only 4 months post-op...this is where the fun begins. Be patient

@S Buttthanks for sharing the picture. I am also planning to do my transplant with Dr.Jhangid, will you recommend him? And also it will be helpful if you could share the transplantation cost and the package which you opted for

[Britanium]

Would you have any immediate post op pics we could see? Thanks 🙏

[S Butt]

Hi everyone, sorry for the late response. Yes I think he's professional and very forward about any questions you have. It's a smaller set up than a large setup like eugenix. My package came out to around 2 lakhs and some change and I did not do the microscopic implants . I don't have post op pics rn but any particular questions ? 

[Klaw]

@S Butt Any particular reason why you didn’t opt for MAGP? And also would you suggest to consider Dr. Jhangid over Eugenix lower package from your experience? Pls keep us updated with your progress and will be closely watching this thread as you know there is not much review about this Dr in this forum

[S Butt]

I didn't go for MAGP as the evidence of improved outcomes was not strong and it added extra cost. I can't comment on eugenix vs Dr. Jhagid. Eugenix posts excellent results everyday and the photos look amazing.. but that is how advertisement works . I am always vary of that. Being a big company , Eugenix will definitely try to keep their reputation and produce good results.. but at same time I am decently satisfied with my results with De. Jhagid. There are areas of low density I believe but they are well covered. I would recommend him . He's had a lot of experience in this but with eugenix you got a mbbs grad doing things on lower package. Even though they train them a lot , not sure if that is enough

@S Buttthanks for the input, waiting for your 6 months mark

[Klaw]

@S Butt Could pls share your 6 months progress and some pics would help? Thanks

[S Butt]

Hi. These are 6 months pics . Overall good growth but some areas in front were not filled well and the temples hair came out a little misdirected. Not any huge complaints for now though. I would definitely recommend a little more density behind the front line too

This doesn't look bad from what I can see. It will thicken up over the next few months, so you may not feel its too thin by the time you get near the one year mark. Keep us updated.
