Regular Member defiance79 Posted September 28, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted September 28, 2023 Saw Dr Patty and the team yesterday and have to say it was a pretty impressive experience - from the moment I walked in every step was co-ordinated and prepared. This is one organised and professional team. Upon her arrival her assistant Kleverly (who, as an aside, is stunningly beautiful) got me to fill out forms with relevant information. I was then taken to a room where one of the staff washed my hair in preparation for being looked at by Dr Patty. Then met Dr Patty who looked at my scalp and did her calculations as to what would be needed - 4272 - more than I expected but in terms of density it made me feel confident - the focus was going to be on getting density at the front with putting grafts with multiple hairs predominantly at the back. I have included a breakdown of the density Dr Patty provided at the end of the day. The procedure itself was a good 6-7 hours - Dr Patty present for the majority of the time and doing all the incisions herself and some of the placement with assistance. They ordered and provided me lunch. It really was not painful at all and the anaesthetic worked a charm - felt more "weird" then anything else. Following the procedure I was given a bag with fin, minox, plus antibiotics they want me to start taking straight away. They also give you a ridiculous looking chefs hat to be worn for 2 weeks when leaving the hotel or house. Im hanging around for 4 days to get the healing checked each day by the clinic as well as use their laser hair helmets. Also gave me saline spray and to top it off a letter for customs regarding medication when I head back to Australia. I cannot comment on the hair results yet but my experience with the clinic I really cannot fault. 10 out of 10 and 5 stars. Also, very very reasonably priced and I cannot imagine their prices will remain like this for long. 4272 for 1730,000 baht ($7325 AU). Pics below and I will update my results as we move forward.

Senior Member Hairwolf Posted September 29, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted September 29, 2023 (edited) Good report and good to see another report from this clinic. Result looks dense. Indeed the value is unreal here and they also offer the LLLT therapy after surgery which you can’t argue with. The report is detailed regarding cm2 density which is another plus IMHO. Wanted to ask though, when you say the procedure took 6-7 hrs was that total: extraction, incision and implantation? If so seems quite short/quick. Also would be great if you could upload some pre surgery pics. Happy growing!

Worth noting I seemed to be the only person there and Dr Patty was instructing a very large and efficient team which might speed things along considerably. will upload some pre surgery pics in the coming days.

Regular Member defiance79 Posted October 26, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted October 26, 2023 Ok update. I am worrying that I have pitting. I have attached pictures which I took yesterday exactly 1 month after the procedure. There has been some shedding but nothing massive like others talk about, but perhaps that will accelerate as it seems to have started over the last week. I really hope this will get better as the skin heels and the swollen skin is what is causing this pitted look. I also shaved my head to a number 3 a few days ago as the longer the hair gets, the more obvious the pits are - I got the ok from the clinic to shave it. Thoughts and opinions appreciated.

The feedback from the clinic is that this is great progress at 6 months, but my concern about density was responded to by them reassuring me that if the density does not increase over the next 6 months, they will touch it up for free. All in all, im very happy thus far. Happy to hear others opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member defiance79 Posted July 15 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 15 Apologies for taking so long to post update pics. I am at roughly 9 and a half months since the procedure. I honestly cannot tell if I have had much more growth since my last pics, these are pics I have taken today and its a little longer on top. It is overall a massive improvement however id like more density on the sides which you can see in some of the pics. One thing I am grateful for is that they have flagged if things stay the same I can come back for a touch up. So im not overjoyed with the results but I am pretty happy with them, and looking forward to going back at no charge for the touch up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does your new hair not grow any longer than that or do you just keep it short? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
