Journey of HT:
Well i was aware of HT from long back but never gave attention till my hair get in bad shaped.There after i started my analysis about hair transplantation.
After much analysis and considering all the factor's i decided to do my hair transplant with Dr. Madhu in Hyd.I started exchange of emails with Dr.Madhu regarding my hair transplant.
Dr Madhu and Dr Deepak(Jr Doctor in Dr Madhu Team) always tried in best way to answer all my queries.
My HT date finalized to 22 dec and consultation on 21st Dec.
Consultation on 21st Dec:
Reached to Dr clinic at right time.In reception area there were lot of people waiting for their turn for consultation.
My first impression about clinic was good and it was very neat and clean.After all the formality like filling up the form etc i got chance to meet Dr Madhu directly and Dr Deepak introduced to me with him.
Dr Madhu is mid aged man with very down to earth and very polite person who like to satisfy his patients with all the queries.
Dr Madhu started examine mine scalp and he said you can get 2500-3000 with one strip surgery,but if you want more grafts then he can manage with the second strip(As per him he has developed this new technique where two strips are taken from the back for more no of grafts)from which you can get extra graft,say near about 1000,So total you can get near about 3500-3800 with two strips surgery in the same session.I was ok with this since i was looking for more number of grafts.
He answered all my queries in very good manner.

Transplantation:
On the date of transplantation i reached to clinic at correct time,Dr Deepak and his assistant explained the process of entire HT and after that they gave me couple of tablets and injections.Dr Madhu came and he draws the hair line and later he asked whether its fine or if you want you can draw your hair line as per your wish.
Again here Dr Madhu explanined that with two strips you can expect near about 3500 -3800 graft and with single strip 2500-3000.He also said this is just like two surgery into single session.I was ok with two strips since i was looking for more grafts.
After taking the photographs Dr Madhu asked me to lay down with my front exposing my head for strip harvesting.Dr Madhu says now you will feel pain here for only some moments,they put some injection in my donar area and after that i could not sense anything over there.Dr. Madhu made the took out the donor area and sutured it. He made all the incisions in the frontal area and later their assistants started placing the grafts.
Surgery take place around 7 hours and i had no pain and discomfort for the entire day.After the surgery i was taken into the rest room where i had juice and some biscuits(really feeling hungry) and i did not take much time to finish those things.
Dr Vijtha(Another Jr.Doctor in clinic) come and ask he how i m feeling and she suggested to take rest for atleast half an hour.After half an hour i got all the instructions for post operations precautions.
Finally in the last Dr Madhu came and explanined me that i got around 3360 grafts which is good number.
He gave his personal number if i face any problem then pls call me.Then i pick the auto and came back to my room
I m looking forward for my growth .
In summary, it was a great experience going to such a professional and caring clinic.

Pratik,

Congratulations on your HT. Although it is way too early to say anything, I am confident that your HT will yield awesome results since it was with Dr. Madhu. Thanks for sharing your experiences here.

Please do try to create a weblog of your HT on this forum with all the photos and descriptions so it is easy for others to see your progress through the months.

Good to hear that you have had a great experience. As Dr. Madhu might have told you already, the first 10-15 days after HT are important so stick to what he told you (like using that shampoo that he mentioned and showering with boiled and cooled down water etc) and you should be fine.

HI pratik,

Good to hear that you also had Transplantation with Dr.Madhu, I'm about to complete one month post HT from Dr. Madhu, soon i will upload my pics.

Quite honestly, I feel this is impossible. I agree redness might not be there but scabs cant shed so fast.

Bill and Doctors, Can you please comment?

Thanks!

Confused123:Attached is the pic which i took before the head wash.

Pratik,

I am sorry, but this sounds quite weired to me.

I am not an expert in this field and would await comments from senior forum members and docs.

Thanks!

Dr Madhu took two strips from the same surgery?

Does this mean that you have two scars?

I have seen patients with two strip scars but never from the same surgery.

Is this correct or have I misunderstood your post?

confused,

I see nothing unusual about his postoperative photos. The work looks nice and clean. The fact that there's not much blood could be that Pratik didn't bleed that much and/or it was cleaned up very well during and after the procedure.

Pratik,

Congratulations on your recent hair transplant with an excellent physician. I'm a little confused about the double strip comment though. Can you further explain having two strips removed? Do you have photos of the donor area you can share?

Best wishes,

Bill
