Introduction
Hair loss is a struggle that many men face at some point in their lives. It often starts with a receding hairline or thinning crown, and before you know it, bald patches begin to show. For some, it’s just a cosmetic issue, but for others, it can deeply affect self-esteem and confidence.
This is the story of Rohit Sharma, a 33-year-old from Surat, Gujarat, who faced severe hair loss but regained his confidence with the help of a successful hair transplant at Hairfree Hairgrow Clinic.
Rohit’s Background
Rohit had been experiencing hair loss for nearly eight years. It started with his hairline receding, and over time, the thinning spread to the middle of his scalp. His crown area also began to lose density. By the time he visited the clinic, he was at grade 5–6 baldness, which meant extensive hair loss on the front and middle areas.
Other important details about Rohit’s profile:
-
Age: 33 years
-
Location: Surat, Gujarat
-
Health: No diabetes, blood pressure, allergies, or other medical issues
-
Scalp condition: Only mild dandruff and dryness
-
**Previous treatments:**None; he hadn’t tried any major medical solution for baldness.
Despite the baldness, Rohit was otherwise healthy and a suitable candidate for a hair transplant.
Why He Chose Hair Transplant
For a long time, Rohit had simply accepted his hair loss. But his perspective changed when he saw the remarkable transformations of patients at Hairfree Hairgrow Clinic. Their results gave him hope that he too could look younger and feel confident again.
He decided to consult Dr. Jinkal Kunjadiya, a well-known dermatologist and transplant surgeon at the Surat branch. During the consultation:
-
His baldness and donor area were carefully evaluated.
-
He was given a realistic explanation of what results to expect.
-
The doctor discussed the treatment plan in detail, including aftercare and follow-up.
This open and transparent conversation gave Rohit the assurance to go ahead with the procedure.
The Treatment Plan
-
Procedure Dates: 18th and 19th January 2023 (over two days)
-
Technique: I-FUE (Follicular Unit Extraction)
-
Planned Grafts: Around 4431 grafts
-
Additional Care: PRP sessions after transplant, along with minoxidil and multivitamins for long-term maintenance
The goal was to restore his hairline and cover the front and middle bald areas. The crown was saved for a future session if required.
Step-by-Step Procedure
- Hairline Design
A new hairline was designed to match Rohit’s face shape and age. The corners and middle scalp were included for transplantation.
- Donor Area Check
His donor area, located at the back of the scalp, was found to be healthy. The hair was mostly black, with some grey.
- Anesthesia
Local anesthesia was given using a painless technique. Rohit felt only mild discomfort, similar to an ant bite, at the start.
- Slit Making
Small incisions were made in the bald areas using a sapphire blade. The surgeon ensured the angle and direction of each slit matched natural hair growth.
- Graft Extraction
About 4431 grafts were extracted with a micro punch of 0.8 mm. The grafts were stored at a controlled temperature to keep them healthy.
- Implantation
The grafts were carefully implanted using the K.E.E.P implanter, a modern tool that ensures precision. This step alone took around three hours.
By the end of the two-day procedure, Rohit had a newly designed hairline and coverage across his front and middle scalp.
Recovery and Growth Phases
-
0–3 Months (Shedding Phase): After the surgery, many transplanted hairs fell out, which is a normal part of the process. Rohit also received his first PRP session two months after the procedure.
-
3–6 Months (Growth Phase): New hair started to grow back. By the sixth month, about 80% of the transplanted hair was visible. Though the hair lengths were uneven, the difference in Rohit’s appearance was already noticeable. Additional PRP sessions were given at the fourth and sixth months.
-
12 Months (Final Results): By the end of a year, Rohit had a dense, natural-looking head of hair. His hairline was well-defined, and the transplanted area blended perfectly with his existing hair. To maintain the results, booster PRP every three months and supportive medications were recommended.
The Transformation
For Rohit, the change was more than just physical. His appearance looked youthful again, and his confidence soared. Simple activities like going out with friends or attending social events no longer made him self-conscious.
He described his experience as smooth and comfortable, appreciating both the professionalism of the doctors and the personal care given during and after the surgery. Today, Rohit continues to follow up regularly at the clinic and maintains his results with supportive treatments.
Key Takeaway
Rohit’s journey highlights how advanced baldness, even at grade 5–6, can be successfully treated with modern techniques like I-FUE. With expert planning, careful execution, and proper aftercare, it’s possible to achieve natural, long-lasting results.
His story is not just about regrowing hair it’s about regaining confidence, self-esteem, and a fresh outlook on life.
