“Seeing scalp through my parting felt like losing a piece of myself. One year later, I’ve stopped worrying about where the wind blows my hair.”
— Patient B., 51 yrs. Siliguri
- The Challenge: Progressive Thinning That Makeup Couldn’t Mask
Our patient—a government school-teacher—noticed the centre part widening year after year. Vermilion and clever combing offered only temporary cover; oral medications barely helped. She wanted a lasting, natural solution without a dramatic haircut or social downtime, so she booked a consult with Dr Choudhury.
- Consultation & Decision-Making
At Dr Paul’s Salt Lake Clinic, Dr Choudhury performed a digital trichoscopy confirming female-pattern hair loss focused on the frontal and partition zones. The recommendation: a Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) transplant using 2,000 grafts—enough to restore density while preserving donor reserves.
Why FUE for women?
- Minimal shaving—just a postage-stamp window at the occiput, hidden by long hair.
- Micro-dot scars invisible even in ponytails.
- Faster recovery versus strip surgery.

- Month-by-Month Progress
| Timeline | What Happens | Patient’s Notes |
| 0–3 mo | Transient “shock shed”; follicles rest. | “Looks thinner—Dr Choudhury’s team assured me it’s normal.” |
| 3–6 mo | Peach-fuzz sprouts along parting. | Colleagues notice subtle fullness. |
| 6–9 mo | Diameter thickens; scalp visibility drops. | Returned to simpler hairstyles. |
| 12 mo | Final calibre & shine. | “I feel photo-ready without filters!” |
Result: near-complete coverage of previously sparse zones, with natural density and zero tell-tale scars.

- Key Takeaways for Women Considering Hair Transplantation
| Myth | Reality at Dr Paul’s |
| “Transplants are only for men.” | FUE is gender-neutral; design and hormone context change, not the science. |
| “I’ll need to shave my head.” | We use micro-shave windows concealed by surrounding hair. |
| “Results look pluggy.” | QHT™ handling + ≤0.9 mm punches = feather-soft, natural hairlines. |
