I had a surgery with Dr Arshad in 2019, and am happy with the results and all of the aftercare provided. I have noticed a few results that are probably not as good as some of their earlier results. It would be really interesting if a representative from the clinic or the Dr himself could come on here and address some of the concerns and reasons why the results might not be up to the high standards they set. It could be that some of the poorer results the patients are an anomaly, but equally there might be some reason for this and it would be interesting to see how the clinic will address this. Just my thoughts.
I completely hear what you’re saying in regard to the clinic commenting, but due to client privacy I don’t this this will happen on a public forum. (And rightly so).
I’m planning on visiting them after 9 months irrespective of the results. Currently 7 weeks in.
I was quoted 3k grafts, with a caveat in the correspondence saying this may change as it was quoted via a FaceTime call and/or pictures.
Unless you’ve had a face to face consult/examination, there is no way of accurately estimating the grafts .
I had concerns regarding over harvesting and Dr Arshad respected that and agreed to monitor throughout. Finished a shade over 3k and my donor looks untouched after 7 weeks.
I’m a little unnerved by some of the other recent results. I was reassured on the day that I had a decent donor area, excellent quality hair for a HT and that the Dr was very pleased with the extraction and implanting.
I’ve followed all the guidance to the letter, sleeping upright for the best part of 3 weeks! Cut out alcohol and caffeine completely from 1 month prior until now (may have a couple of drinks over Xmas) and am taking all the meds, vitamins and eating a decent varied diet.
Fingers crossed I’ll have a good result.
I’ve decided not to update my progress at the moment. The negativity on this forum towards this clinic isn’t particularly constructive and (for those of us whom have actually HAD a HT) remaining positive during the shedding stages is tough enough without the negative comments.
Happy to discuss things on PM if people did have questions, I’ve found this to be much more constructive than the public posts.
