On the public record
New Zealand's Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal found professional misconduct, which he admitted: his CV falsely claimed passes in UK postgraduate exams (MRCP Parts 1 and 2, FRCA Primary), and he falsely told his anaesthesia training supervisor he had passed Part 1 of the ANZCA exam, backed by a forged letter. Suspended for six months from 23 September 2010, fined NZ$5,000 and censured; he kept his registration.

- male 27 yo 1,400 grafts surgery 2024
Glum-Transition-5549, 27, had 1400 grafts with Dr Vikram Jayaprakash in Australia in 2024, paying 10k AUD, after about 2.5 years on finasteride. His original post was deleted, so his own assessment is not in the thread; the 5 month update photos drew mixed comments from others, some calling it natural and dense and others calling the hairline unnatural.

Immediate_Mushroom83 had a hand-held FUE with Dr Vikram Jayaprakash of the Knudsen Clinic in 2021, 300 grafts on one side and 100 on the other (400 in total); no price is given. At 2 months they titled the post '300 graft FUE poor results', said it looked about the same as before and that 'pluggy thick grafts' stuck out, and asked why so few grafts were recommended. In a 2023 comment they said the surgeon 'absolutely butchered my transplant' and scarred their forehead after it was removed.
