This review is written with the sole intention of sharing my experience of HT (Hair transplant) with the readers and shouldn’t be taken as a recommendation. Do little research and gather information and you will automatically narrow down to the best place for undergoing HT, which may be different for different people....I approached ALCS in the 2nd week of June 2020. Since, its pandemic time, most of my queries related to HT was answered digitally/telephonically by clinic manager Mr. Tarun and other competent staff of ALCS. Though, my doubts were already cleared (I already had done basic research on the matter and I would advise others also to do the same before going HT to make an informed decision), I still wished to consult Dr Sunil in person and he was kind enough to agree to it. After examining my scalp, he explained in detail about different procedures I could opt for HT, their pros/cons, no. of grafts required for good density etc. He was quite straightforward and didn’t mince his words at all. I was in touch with one other reputed clinic too who specializes in HT but after weighing in all the information I had gathered, I decided to undergo HT surgery at ALCS. My HT was done on 15th June 2020. I am elaborately writing the events happened on the surgery day to help readers to understand the procedure. I reached the clinic at 11:00 AM. By noon, all the HT pre-surgery basic formalities which include filling few forms, photography session of the scalp (which would be handy for comparison in future) taking 1-2 painkillers, outlining hairline on the scalp with marker, trimming of hair was done. Thereafter, I was taken to the surgery room wherein I was given some fluid (maybe saline/glucose) through IV and test for allergies was also done. Dr Sunil after ensuring that I was comfortable started the main procedure by administering local anaesthesia on the backside of my scalp from where extraction/harvest of hair had to be done. It took 2-3 assistants about 70-80 minutes for extracting the required amount of grafts. Once, the extraction part was over, I was asked if I was good to go for the transplanting part immediately or needed a break. Since I was in full comfort; I nodded to go for the transplantation immediately. This time local anaesthesia was administered on the front part of my scalp and under complete supervision and vigilance of Dr Sunil, assistants started implanting grafts on the bald area. The procedure lasted for around 2 hours. In the meanwhile, some blood was also drawn for segregating Plasma (PRP) which was injected in my scalp after completion of the procedure. The whole procedure was conducted with utmost professionalism yet in a very amicable ambience. Except for the time when anaesthesia was administered, there was no sense of uneasiness or pain during the procedure. Events in the surgery room ended with a photography session. I had a casual conversation with Dr Sunil after the procedure where he asked me about my well-being, the experience I had at ALCS, shortcomings if any observed by me so that they might work to eliminate it. He also gave me a few instructions/directions. From there I was taken by the staff of the ALCS who provided me with thorough instructions/directions on what to be done and how to be done in next few days and was also handed over medicines. I drove back home on my own (important to mention here since most people believe that there will be drowsiness or effect of anaesthesia after the procedure). It’s being more than 10 days I underwent HT, and so far I have not faced any post-surgery issue. Everything is just as fine as was before. In these 10 days, ALCS has voluntarily contacted me several times and is constantly keeping a check on progress; inquiring about my well-being and also providing me instructions wherever required.
