Mr B Spot,
I am a layman in BHT and do not have the knowledge that you seem to be having. However,the proof of the pudding lies in its eating. I would like to mention three points for consideration. First, during my procedure and subsequently for follow ups, I saw a lot of activity and large number of patients of different nationalities at Dr Poswal's clinic. Second, my interaction with some other people, who had undergone treatment at his clinic revealed high satisfaction levels. Third, I have posted my photographs on the blog and I intend providing more of them with time, for people to make an assessment themselves. I cannot comment, nor am I aware as to why Dr Poswal is not posting photographs of his patients. Maybe, with his hands are so full, he may not be inclined to do so or there may be some other reasons. Not for me to comment. As far as the topic goes - costs, I am still confident that my assessment is correct that he is providing quite economical services.

Top--- everyone is looking for a great deal because this stuff is expensive, regardless of where you go. The reason Dr. Poswal does not post pictures on the internet is because he was caught stealing other surgeons before and after photos and posting them as his own. Most people who are apprised of the situation, believe the was a blatant ethical violation in an attempt to push his clinic for financial gain. That is why many here refuse to even comment on your results or your happiness over your experience. With that said, ANY time a fellow sufferer posts his or her experience with a doctor who has serious ethical or technical questions, I beleive it is important for one of us to continue to post these issues on EVERY thread of this nature. You have to understand that someone may view your thread and feel as if Dr. Poswal is a viable alternative, but until they possess ALL of the information about a certain clinic or doctor, that simply is just not true. Lastly, at 3.50 a graft the economics do not bear out. Many of the top HT docs in the US charge 4 to 5 dollars a graft for the first 2000 and seriously reduce anything after that. You seem to be an upright guy, and I am certainly glad that you found this site. Please continue to do research before going forward, and you may end up changing your mind.

Top Shiny,

You still have time to do MORE research. I literally took a double take at your pics and description on your blog. What you are allowing this doctor to do to you will not get you the natural results you are looking for. Please re-consider going back to this doctor.

Spend some time on this site and view the results of HTs from the top doctors. I really believe that you should consult in person with one of the top doctors in North America as they can advise you on the next steps you should take. If you cannot do it in person at least spend some time on the phone with them as it is free and they can answer all of your questions including costs.

The cost may be a little more traveling to North America, but the long term results, costs and state of mind will be totally worth it.

hey shiny

i think what your doing is very good. i mean by you actually blogging your experience, i think bht is a great option with donor area limited-for everyone. now what dht may or may not do i think is the same as any hair transplanted to that area.
i was at a open house with dr bernstein and he was speaking as how recipient areas actually change some of the inherit features of the hair. ie eyebrows or facial hair. so i think it would do the same with body hair, but only after a long period of time. It has been shown body hair does grow longer and that it does become finer. perhaps with a more in depth study it would be helpful. another thing i wanted to comment on
is how many people with normal hair transplants create blogs, very few. most likely due to them wanting to forget that they were bald or to busy with their lives. how many people would go out to say they took hair from pubic area or armpits??/ i mean the pictures look real. and i think this thread about bht should be given more room to grow. if it does work better in south asians fine why does it work better.
i dont know exactly what dr arvind did in the beginning but his work and dr woods work seem promising. and i want their patients to blog and express their feelings. i remember when bosley was the worst place to go to. but then pat the moderator said they improved somewhat after some company bought them. not every doctor is going to do studies for free does that mean that the experience gained from these surgeries be lost. i want to know what the 5yr 10yr post ops are. and the only way is to encourage people willing to take the plunge to blog on.
