Practical_Radish4721 (Sujal), a 34-year-old from Hyderabad, had around 1800 grafts in Patna in June 2025 with Dr Abhinav Kumar at The Skin Centre, for sharper temple points and a refined hairline, paying about Rs 85K to 90K (Rs 45 per graft plus OT charges). He chose Kumar after a consultation at Eugenix, where he was told only a junior doctor would make the incisions. At 3.5 months he reported fabulous results and was super happy; at 8 months he said the results had come together really well, with most people unable to tell it is a transplant. One commenter replied with the word cobblestoning.
