Regular Member Dalveer Posted January 25, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted January 25, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone! as mentioned on my previous post I went ahead and had my surgery with dr suneet soni in January 17th 2020 in Jaipur India. I received around 4000 grafts from FUT and FUE combo method and around 500 I believe grafts from underneath my Beard. I wanted to ask you all if my transplant looks good and what you guys think my density will be like. My donor wasn’t exactly the strongest but dr soni said he initially aimed to cover half my head but was able to cover the entire head back to the crown area. I just thought I’d come on here and get everyone’s opinions on how my hairline looks and how the graft coverage looks. I also want to know if my closure done by the trichopytic technique looks good or not. I am currently on day 8 of my transplant and have posted pictures from day 1 which was the next day right after head wash and day 6 as well as a beard picture right after washing it.the closure picture is from yesterday which was day 7. I am currently still having slight pain near the sides of the closure but overall it was a good experience outside of having to get IV before my trip back due to vommiting issues because of the medications prescribed. it’s started itching which means it’s healing nicely I assume! Let me know what you all think! Edited January 25, 2020 by Dalveer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member skallig Posted March 11, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted March 11, 2020 Hi @Dalveer, I am not expert to talk about the process done, but I'll be waiting for more updates from you to see the progress. What was your baldness class, and do you happen to have any photos before transplant? I am also considering a transplant by end of this year. Dr. Suneet Soni told me I would need 4000 grafts. I am a bit skeptical about FUT scars and trichophytic closure, but I see he have some really good results with no scars visible at all after hair grows. All the best, and keep posting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Dalveer Posted March 13, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Sorry for the delay in my update guys! I have attached current pictures at 55 days about 5 days from the 2 month mark. i will attach other pictures as well but for now the stitches just fully dissolved and scabs finally came off the fut donor site and now it’s in the growing phase as it has all shed (will upload those pics as well!) Let me know what you guys think of my current state I am due for PRP at the 2 month mark as DR soni has told me to. I do have some shock loss right under the FUT strip but I assume it’s temporary and that is where they took out FUE so hopefully it comes back!! My beard also has fully recovered the hairs are lighter there but when I grow it out as you can see in the pic it’s not noticeable and the area he took it from makes it hard to see anyways even when it’s fairly short.

All the best, and keep posting Hi skallig! sorry for the delay in my response man I’ve been super busy. I was a NW 5 I actually have another post on my account showing my loss prior to surgery. He’s a good doctor overall but to be 100 percent honest with you he wasn’t the best in terms of 1 on 1 care. He did assure me before everything will be okay and so far it is and I believe he’s done a great job and does so on other patients but he’s busy and doesn’t really give personal attention too much. I would say if you do surgery with him be careful of the pain meds after they caused me to be dehydrated and I had to go back in for IV but that’s not the clinics fault. Honestly I was skeptical too and I saw another post by Thappa and even brought that up as a problem to the doctor but he said the reason behind it stretching is because people are careless afterwards and excessively bend their necks. I haven’t done any bending at all tbh and have been extremely careful and so far it’s healing nice outside of a few areas that have temporary shock loss. I have exactly 4580 grafts if that helps and it was combo fut and FUE by him. If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to message me I can fill you in on everything! Another thing is I was skeptical but when I got there I actually met a Bollywood actor that got it done there which was super weird but I saw his scar and it was barely noticeable and I also met other people that had gotten theirs done and had brought friends to get it done as well and it seemed like everything was good so I took the dive and went for it. I do know Eugenix is the best in India but FUE wasn’t an option for me and that’s why I went this route as hes the best in that closure method and his hairline design is the best in India in my opinion.

Regular Member skallig Posted March 28, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted March 28, 2020 Hi @Dalveer, thank you for posting the updates. I think it's still early to judge your final results, as it would take 10 months the least to show a complete progress if I am not mistaken. I can see the mark at 55 days of your update. Does the trichophytic closure helps hair grow through the stitches? I think the case with same with most Indian doctors, in terms of their full involvement in the surgery procedure. Look forward to your future updates too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Dalveer Posted April 7, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted April 7, 2020 Here are pictures from day 80. I have noticed fast growth in the past few days and unfortunately I am unable to get prp done as advised by the doctor because of The coronavirus. As soon as everything is normal I will be getting prp and it will hopefully grow even faster! I will provide my next update April 17th which will be 3 months. let me know what you guys think of the growth so far. I attached a pic of the crown as well as the hairline and mid scalp and the fut line where the shock loss is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Dalveer Posted May 19, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted May 19, 2020 Hi everyone! I am posting my 4 month update here. Tried to get better pictures this month outdoor with natural light. Currently still on minoxidil and doing coconut oil massage 2x a week. I’ve noticed it getting darker this month but I’ll let you guys be judge in how’s it going. Let me know what you guys think!! I took these pictures with the hair moved out of the way of the scar to show it better. As you can see there are still some scabs on the scar line. My wife did cut my hair a bit around the ears and the length in the back as it was getting bad but didn’t go anywhere near the top of scar line. anyways let me know what you guys think of the progress this month really looking for some feedback. I also did not comb the hair before these pictures so excuse the messiness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Dalveer Posted June 18, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hey guys sorry for the delay! Here are my 5 month photos. Big difference in my opinion from 4 months. I had an area in the middle front scalp where it’s still lighter but catching on slowly. I have not had a haircut properly prior to surgery. These were taken after a shower so if it looks weird in that picture from the back with a gap that’s because I was lazy and didn’t comb it but you can’t see the stitch line for the FUT closure. My beard I didn’t take a pic but it’s healed and still a bit light in that area but honestly nobody can see it especially when it’s grown out. let me know if you have any other questions and what you guys think!!

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted June 25, 2020 Administrators Share Posted June 25, 2020 Scar looks a bit stretched, or possible shock loss. The top is looking on track for 5 months.

Regular Member Dalveer Posted October 17, 2020 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 17, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone! I have been so busy that I totally forgot to update you guys. So I got my first haircut from my barber and I’m really loving the look now! Due to covid my prp was late I got it done September 18th at Dr. Gabels office in Oregon and it has started to grow thicker I think because of that. I have attached a pic showing my hairline now with the haircut. Let me know what you guys think! I cut the back pretty short and you can’t see the FUT line so it healed nicely I’ll post a pic of that tomorrow.
