Regular Member ashok Posted December 9, 2009 Regular Member Share Posted December 9, 2009 I zeroed in on Dr.Madhu and had my procedure done on monday dec 7th 2009. I will breifly pen down the my exp here. I got into the clinic 15 mins late, Dr.Madhu and his staff were waiting for me, they checked a few of my parameters, gave some meds, shot a injection, took some photographs, Dr.Madhu and I agreed on the areas to be covered, he wanted me to be doubly sure here. Then I was led into the operation theater.I was made to lay down on my front exposing my head for strip harvesting, they have put some bandages on my head then gave the injection for anestesia, here it pained slightly and later I could not sense any thing, this process took mostly half an hour. Then I was led into another room for the transplantation, Dr.Madhu made the incisions for some time then Dr.Sree Devi(wife of Dr.Madhu) took over and started the placement(Dr.Madhu said in an earlier meeting said she is very skilled at this), she worked with two other ladies, towards the end of the process I observed that only two surgeons were working sans Dr. SreeDevi, Dr.Madhu was doing rounds into the room all the while. All the while I was at home talking to the staff, they apprised me of the status regulary, they assured my comfort, the whole process took about 6 hours, only thing I didnt like is that during graft placement the staff some times were chit chatting about trivial stuff(the usual ladies banter), also in the middle Dr.Madhu made me sit up and gave a mirror and wanted me to check the placement, when the thing is done I was led into my room. Post op I didnt feel really tired, it was ok, actually I walked in my room as I was made to lay down for almost 5 hours. Dr.Madhu came and gave me the post op instructions, gave me a protective cover along with the tight hair band which was put during the HT left the clinic took an auto way home. Contrary to the consultation process which I though is slightly messy the surgery is pretty organized and methodical, the support staff are also very friendly. today is 3rd day post op, I am healing well, I feel tightness in my donar area and a ithcing sensation in the receipient area and no pain. I will update you with my album also. My Hair Loss Website - Hair Transplant with Dr. Madhu of India Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Ashok, Congratulations on your recent hair transplant with an excellent surgeon in India. Your recipient area looks nice and clean. If you haven't already, I encourage you to create a free patient website to share your experience and document your progress with photos. Then you can link your site to your forum signature so members can easily follow your journey every time you post. For instructions on creating your very own website and linking it to your forum signature, click here. Scalp itchiness after a hair transplant is perfectly normal. Avoid touching the grafted area for the first several days. After 10 days, I've found that applying Aloe Vera helps quite nicely to soothe the itch and provide a cooling sensation. I've also found that Nioxin shampoo and conditioner (the conditioner especially) works tremendously to sooth donor and recpient area itch. Happy healing and growning in the coming months, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ashok Posted December 9, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 9, 2009 thanks Bill, I will create a patent website. it is past midnight 3 am here, I woke up as this damned itchiness crept into a dream and I started to scrach my head(grafted area) for a split second. so Bill, I have to wait for 10 days to apply the stuff you are suggesting right, Is there anything I can do right now? it has become very tough to tolerate the itch. Never thought itch could be this irritating.. I will also check with the doc in the morning.

Senior Member Forrest Gump Posted December 10, 2009 Senior Member Share Posted December 10, 2009 Ashok, it is perfectly normal to feel itchiness in the recipient and donor areas. Whenever I had the itchiness, I scratched on my forehead near my hairline (without of course touching any of the grafts). It helps to some extent, perhaps as a placebo effect. Also, ask your doctor if you should apply vitamin e oil in your recipient area. Although vit e oil did not eliminate the itchiness in my case, it was nevertheless quite soothing.

I've taken the liberty of fixing the broken link in your forum signature. I trust you'll have excellent results. In the meantime, rest up, heal quickly, and growth will start before you know it :-) Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ashok Posted December 11, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 11, 2009 subbu, check my patient website. confused123, Please send a PM or something with all your doubts/concerns I will be glad to answer them. I am out of town so we cannot meet. Bill, Thanks for fixing the signature, that's the signature I was trying for. also regarding the itching, I applied two palm fulls of pure coconut oil to the grafted area, I made sure every graft/scab are kind of soaked in the oil and this definately soothed my scalp.

Bill - Seemiller Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 Ashok, I'm glad the coconut oil helped. You may also want to consider Nioxin shampoo and conditioner (cleanser and scalp therapy). The scalp therapy conditioner especially was a Godsend to me after each procedure since it helped to cool and soothe the donor and recipient areas, minimizing itch and tenderness. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashok, did you check with Dr. Madhu before you applied coconut oil? I remember he told me that oil was bad for the transplanted grafts, at least for the first month or so. Check with the Dr. just to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member ashok Posted December 18, 2009 Author Regular Member Share Posted December 18, 2009 drmtx, Post op Dr.Madhu himself suggested me to apply coconut oil every day before going to bed, also point I would like to emphasize is that I applied more than in the traditional sense and it had the soothing effect. ashok.

Regular Member ashok Posted September 25, 2010 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 25, 2010 hello folks, its been a while since I posted on the forum, my latest photos are also long due, I will update them. this is my 10th month past HT and I find the progress is pretty satisfactory if not out right amazing, important thing is I am happy . now the trouble is past 3 weeks I am experiencing heavy hair loss, I discontinued using propecia but continued with minoxdl. when I called up the HT doc, his staff said that this is a common phenomenon in 8-9th month and she explained that since a mass of new transplanted hair grow more or less at the same time after HT all of them will go into a mass shedding/rest phase and that is the reason for this hairfall. I wanted to check if any body has gone through it and is there any thing we can do about this.

Senior Member Surfarosa Posted September 25, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 25, 2010 Ashok - I have never heard of what you refer to. I also never experienced it personally. However, the fact that you discontinued Propecia could be the reason. May I ask why? And if your doctor had any advice pertaining to staying on or getting off Propecia post surgery. Most surgeons are very insistent that patients stay on Propecia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
