zone32 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 (edited) Hello my fellow follicle chasers, I am 45 years old, from MD, USA a Norwood 6, potentially heading to a 7. I've had two FUT procedures in the past with mediocre results. My first was in 2008, which gave some coverage around my hairline but had a poorly placed incision that was not in the ideal donor area ( too low near the nape of my neck). The second, in my mid-30s, added about 1.5k-2k grafts from same donor area via FUT but offered limited improvement. Over the years, I've relied heavily on concealers like Topic and Derm Match as my hair continued to thin. Recently, I decided to pursue one more transplant. After extensive research, I discovered Dr. Suneet Soni, who specializes in a combination of FUT, FUE, and body hair transplants. His results were impressive, and his background as a plastic surgeon gave me confidence. I had my procedure with Dr. Soni last week, and I'm thrilled with the results thus far and the entire experience. Despite my previous painful FUT, this procedure was pain free, and recovery has been smooth. Dr. Soni transplanted 5200 grafts, covering almost my entire scalp. He used 2800 just from FUT, 300 chest, 800 or so from beard and rest FUE from the safe extraction zone. A homogenous extraction is what ALL FUE centers promise. But if you area NW 5,6,7, ask yourselves about the life of those miniaturizing follicles! I highly recommend Dr. Sunil Soni. His professionalism, expertise, and results speak for themselves. For anyone considering a hair transplant ( especially a revision procedure or a high NW case - lowe donor etc., check out his work and consider his combination technique. In a well-executed FUT, every follicle will survive with barely any pain, scar, or donor depletion. I will post more of my timeline pictures. Week 1 is about resting and healing at the moment. Check out his work yourselves. https://www.medispaindia.in/dr-suneet-soni-best-hair-transplant-surgeon-india/ https://www.youtube.com/@drsuneetsoni1 Edited July 15 by zone32 updated topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasfor Posted July 16 Share Posted July 16 Best of luck @zone32! The coverage with 5200 grafts looks very good. I hope it grows well. Keep us posted! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Al - Moderator Posted July 17 Moderators Share Posted July 17 Thank you for posting about your situation and latest hair transplant. Dr Suneet Soni is a very good Dr and I think 5200 grafts should give you a good result when combined with what you already have from previous transplants. It won't be super full density because you are a NW 6, but you should certainly look a lot better than you did prior to the transplant with Dr Suneet Soni.

Regular Member StoneCold Posted August 7 Regular Member Share Posted August 7 Hi thanks for sharing. Could you also share pictures of how the strip is healing at the back? I am also considering a procedure with Dr. Soni and am half convinced to go for a combination procedure but the thought of a scar on my scalp unnerves me.

Could you please provide an update? @Sahu910 You should think about creating our own topic with some pictures and details about what you are looking for. You'll get better answers that way instead of always asking for others for updates to their transplant.
