Hair Transplant
in Indore — by the doctor himself

Judge it on three things: postgraduate qualification, how many procedures the surgeon has personally performed, and whether he operates himself. Dr. Abhishek Malviya holds an MD in Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy from a government medical college, served as Assistant Professor of Dermatology at AIIMS, has performed over 5,000 hair transplants across 15+ years, and does the extraction and implantation personally at Radiant Skin, Hair & Laser Clinic, Pipliyahana. He is listed among Indore's top three dermatologists by ThreeBestRated.

Dr. Malviya. He designs the hairline, extracts the grafts, creates the recipient sites and implants them. Ask this everywhere you compare — at many clinics the doctor consults and technicians operate, which is the main reason results differ so widely at similar prices.

Radiant prices per graft, so the total follows your graft count rather than a package you cannot audit. Most cases fall between 1,500 and 4,500 grafts. Your count comes from a scalp examination with dermoscopy and the full cost is given to you in writing at the consultation. Current rates and worked examples are on the hair transplant cost page.

Typically 1,000–1,800 for a receding hairline, 2,000–3,000 for front and crown, and 3,500–4,500 for advanced loss. The estimator on this page gives the range for your Norwood stage; the confirmed number depends on donor density and hair calibre measured at the consultation.

Yes. Grafts come from the back and sides of the scalp where follicles are genetically resistant to DHT and do not bald, and they keep that resistance after being moved. Your remaining native hair can still thin, which is why medical therapy continues afterwards.

Six to eight hours for 2,000–3,000 grafts, in one day under local anaesthesia, home the same evening. Most patients are back at desk work in three to five days and scabs clear by day seven to ten.

Transplanted hair sheds between weeks two and six — expected, not a failure. Growth begins at month three to four, is clearly visible by month six, and the final result is assessed at ten to twelve months.

FUE leaves scattered dot scars instead of one linear scar across the back of the head, so you keep the option of wearing your hair very short. Recovery is faster and there are no sutures. FUT yields more grafts per sitting, but large cases can be staged instead.

Regularly. Operating on loss that has not stabilised, or on a donor area that cannot support the coverage requested, produces a result that looks wrong within a few years. Those patients start on medical therapy and are reviewed in six to twelve months.

Survival depends on graft handling, time out of the body and site creation — which is exactly why the doctor performs those steps. Growth is reviewed at months three, six and twelve against baseline photographs. Ask every clinic what their written policy is before you book.

Yes. Before-and-after photographs from fixed angles under the same lighting, with graft counts and intervals stated, are shown at the consultation. Be wary of galleries with no graft counts, no timeframes and inconsistent lighting.

Call or WhatsApp +91 98260 54185, or use the form on the contact page. The consultation covers scalp examination with dermoscopy, your graft count, a written plan and the full cost. There is no obligation to book the procedure the same day.

The result depends on the surgeon, not the city. What a metro adds is overhead, and what it often adds alongside it is a technician-led model, because high-volume centres cannot have one doctor operating on every case. At Radiant in Indore the operating surgeon is an MD dermatologist and former AIIMS faculty member who performs the surgery himself, which is the variable that actually decides the outcome. Patients travelling to a metro should ask that same question there before paying the difference.

Ask for the doctor's name as registered and their state medical council registration number, then check it on the public register. A hair transplant is surgery, so the operating doctor should hold a recognised postgraduate qualification — MD in Dermatology, or MS/MCh in plastic surgery. Dr. Abhishek Malviya holds an MBBS and an MD in Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy and is registered with the Madhya Pradesh Medical Council.

Yes, and from Dhar, Khandwa, Khargone, Ratlam, Shajapur and Jhabua. The procedure is day care, so no overnight stay is required. Outstation patients are usually scheduled so the consultation and surgery fall in the same visit where the scalp examination and blood work allow it, and later reviews can be done by video with photographs.

In well-run FUE, survival is typically quoted in the region of 90–95 per cent, but that figure is earned in the operating room rather than promised in a brochure. It depends on how gently grafts are extracted, how long they spend outside the body, how they are stored and how the recipient sites are made — all steps performed personally by Dr. Malviya here. Growth is reviewed against baseline photographs at months three, six and twelve.

It is a day-care procedure under local anaesthesia with a well-established safety record, and the common after-effects — soreness, swelling, small scabs and temporary shedding of the transplanted hair — are expected rather than complications. The real risks are infection, poor graft survival and donor depletion, and all three track back to surgical technique and case selection. Blood work is done before surgery and anyone whose loss has not stabilised is advised to wait.
