Bbunty,
Can you give us more information? Who was your doctor? How many grafts did you receive? Thanks, Bill

bbuntyb,
I think your post op pictures look pretty clean - it appears to be follicular unit grafting. Is Dr. Bishen located in India? Understand however, that 2000 grafts is such a large area will not give you a lot of density. Did you and your doctor strategize a long term game plan for restoring your hair? Personally speaking, given your level of loss, I would have considered restoring the front half first using densely packed follicular unit grafts and then hit the back afterwards. However, there isn't anything wrong with this particular approach assuming you understand that you will need another HT to achieve a fuller look adding density. Bill

Hi Bill,
Thanks for replying so fast. Yes, Dr.Bishen is from india and all the grafts were transplanted by himself. Regarding the area, if you would zoom into the picture where the hair line is drawn, you would see that the whole frontal area was shaved off. The doctor adviced me to keep the frontal area and work on the sides. But I did not go for it and asked him to clear it up and transplant on the whole frontal area so that my hair can look uniform and asked him to transplant the left over graft in the back. Recently I asked my doctor for advice if I need additional grafts in the front and all he said me was to wait for atleast 1 year for full results of the transplant and then plan if I need more grafts. Anyways I need one more hair transplant to cover my back area. Also, I would advice to all the friends that if they are considering for a hair transplant, then please select a good doctor and get it done as soon as possible, because it takes 2 years to get full result taking in consideration if you go for another round of hair transplant. and indeed HAIR TRANSPLANT DOES WORKS. Regards, Bunty |

Bunty,
Do you have a preoperative picture of the frontal area before it was shaved? I think that might help us get a better picture of why the doctor didn't want to densely pack in that area. With the areas shaved it's hard to get a true picture of your degree of hair loss. I hope you'll keep us posted on your results. Thanks, Bill

BB-
Congrats on the HT. Quality of work is a little difficult to tell from these pics but hopefully it will turn out nicely for you. With only 2000 grafts over that large an area, your coverage is going to be pretty thin..........just being honest. See how things go and if you're happy with it that's all that counts. If not, you can always go in again for a fill in. Best of luck,

Hi Guys,
It has been 8 months post-op and I am planning for my 2nd hair transplant next week for the crown area. So far, i am happy with the results. I got a question that may sound stupid even after having my hair transplant : is there is any risk associated with the surgery, like life threatening issues. Bye Bunty |
