Regular Member bru Posted November 2, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted November 2, 2023 Well Hello and a big thanks to everybody involved with forum. The creators and the people that post their threads. I was a bit lost and unsure until I found this place and got some great information. So I start noticing thinning maybe 6 or 7 years ago and found finasteride. But that didn't go well I think I got every side effect there is on it and obviously stopped went in panic mode thought my life was done for. It actually put me depressed for a while but thank god everything went back to normal. Except morning wood but that doesn't bother me much 🤣. Then probably like a lot of people I gave up and accepted it until late last year when it really started to bother me. I start talking to a couple of doctors who recommended topical finasteride. So I found a topical and minoxidil mix and started in January still a bit cautious after the last time but I have never had one side effect from it 🙏 I obviously knew I needed a transplant aswell I talked to a couple places in Turkey that I nearly went for but never actually felt comfortable with the choice. I was on reddit everyday but there's not really a structure on there I don't think. Not much help except for one day someone had a link up to here 😁 That was about 4 or 5 months ago and I'm on morning noon and night the missus wasn't to happy I think she will be delighted I finally got it done. So it didn't take long for me to choose Eugenix they had everything I was looking for. Good results and the way they care and look after people is what u need I think going into something like this. Start talking to them and got a video consultation with Dr Das which she basically said everything I was looking for and wanted to hear. So booked and paid deposit. I was originally quoted 3700 grafts through pictures and video calls but I think the topical really kicked in the last few months hence only 3135. The minute I met Dr Das in the reception she put her hand threw my hair and said that you only need about 3100 she was nearly bang on. I paid when I arrived in India the day before the procedure through bank transfer. So when we were done I didn't even have to mention it the care team was in with me saying we owe u a refund as you got less grafts which I thought was nice. So procedure itself I was called in at 3pm Tuesday we went threw all the pre ops blood pressure which was a bit high at first and blood for prp. So they told me to relax for a while got me a pizza. Checked again after that and I was good to go a few nerves I think. Got all the photos done changed into scrubs. Gave me a few tablets pain killer and a relaxer which defo chilled me out. Dr Das got 1600 slits done in my hairline area but there was oozing coming from there so she said we will go again tomorrow which I was fine with. Second day we went straight into it t 9.30 I didn't really ask much or say much I just felt the confidence in them and left them to it. The Doctor is always in and out checking on the technicians but they know what there doing. We didn't break till 3 but they kept asking me from early if I wanted to stop but I was grand. I actually thought then it would run into third day but they weren't stopping not rushing or anything just kept on going. I have admit at this point the needles for the numbing were getting a bit sore as my head in general was sore. But had to suck it up once u get the needle u feel no pain just the sensation. All in all a great experience, lovely people and just chilling now in my hotel. Any questions just ask so many threads have helped me maybe I can help someone 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member bru Posted November 15, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted November 15, 2023 Hey just posting a 2 week update. Everything seems to be going fine started washing scabs on day 7 and it took 3 days maybe 5 washes to get them all off. It was easier than I thought it was going to be. Head still feels a bit numb in places but never had any pain just some itchiness which has stopped now. Started with aloe vera 2 days ago hopefully it will help with healing. First picture I post is donar after 3 days which I was surprised how quick it healed the rest are 2 weeks. There a couple with flash which is a bit clearer. Eugenix were onto me everyday for first seven days checking up and giving post procedure details and a couple times since. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member bru Posted January 1 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 1 Happy New Year all. Month 2 today for me as everyone says Month 2 is the worse it sure looks it. Still some redness and some shock loss but I did switch from topical finasteride to oral after the procedure to see how it went again so I'm guessing that could be some shedding aswell from that. And also started oral minoxidil. No sides of either so far thank god I tried to go in with a good mindset think that helped and this time I'm taken a full 1mg tablet rather that cutting them up. Might be something there. Anyway hopefully looking better in another month il post then 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
