New Poster here, though I've been a lurker here for a while, and consider myself to be a somewhat knowledgeable hair-loss sufferer.
quick thought -
It seems like a lot of factors with donor regeneration, and transplants in general, are very individualized. People respond differently in terms of regeneration, scarring, recipient growth etc.
Along that line of thought, why not go to Dr. Nigams in India, get a 50 graft personalized doubling test, wait a few months (or however long it takes to accurately access both scaring and regeneration), and decide whether it's a method that works for you?
I realize you'd probably have to get a temporary tattoo (or something similar) to measure things accurately; but, other doctors, from what I've gathered (please correct me if I'm wrong), aren't willing to even offer 50 graft tests as they aren't worth the return on their time.
Worst case scenario, you've got some light scarring, lost 50 donor hairs, and spent a couple thousand dollars traveling.
* I'd add that in my mind it makes more sense to wait until Dr. Cole has visited or Spencer has moderated a discussion between the two, and there is a little more legitimacy around this.
Anyway, appreciate everyone's thoughts and insights on this forum. Looking forward to posting more.
