4.5 months update

well , it has been 4.5 months now ...

Hair growth has been even in the last 15 days ... left side which was laggin behind actually looks better than the other side now ....

expecting more density in the comming months

alind

msgd u aswell

@Jasser

Sent you a private msg containing my number...cant post my details in a public forum

yes i m satisfied with the overall result .... one side was laggin behind but it too has filled up pretty nicely ..

no dr bhatti extracted grafts and made slits in the hairline ... implant were done by the technical staff

I was prescribed minoxidil by my ht surgeon , to be used 6 weeks after surgery .

But i had never used minoxidil ever before so may be there was that factor ..

I think u ll be safe starting it 3 weeks after surgery ..

Hi crusade.

Can you please shed some more light about doctor Bhatti. I've contacted them. But all I got was the prices and nothing else.

I live in Australia and I need to know if it's worth going to India.

 

Thanks mate.

 

Wade

any specific question ? i'd b happy to help ..

So It has been 4 months now since my surgery ..

Right side is pretty thick already

Left side is lagging behind ...kinda worried abt it

here are a few pics

I almost bought my tickets today and now I have 2nd thoughts. If I ask him to be careful with the hairline, do you think it is still worth to get it done with Dr.Bhatti. How about growth on other areas.

 

I just want to make sure it is not a scam with all the pictures and write ups.

SCAM ? ...well , yes it is ...so cancel ur tickets asap

And please stop spamming in my thread .... I started this thread to document my progress and i will continue to do ....

I reached there on the day of surgery ... 6:30-7:00 am ....and left next morning around 11:00-11:30 am...

They ll wash ur hair on the next day ,provide you with meds and then Dr. Bhatti ll give postop care schedule..

Sent you a private message regarding the cost of surgery ...

I got 1200 grafts done

There is a hotel next to the clinic , u would get a decent a.c. room for about rs1300-1400 but food there is pretty crap ...so better order from somewhere else

I am planning for FUE with Dr Bhatti and will be travelling from US. Did you chk out Dr.Prabdeep from Reviva. I contacted both but Dr.Prabdeep seems to be very slow in replying emails.

 

Any reccomendation and advise will help.

Never heard of dr. prabhdeep

All i can say abt my procedure is that things are looking good for now ... i cant say how it will turn out ...but the thing is , i chose the most experienced surgeon from the options available to me and got the procedure done at the lowest possible rate (less than 1usd) ....thats the best thing i cud do 4months ago ...

I Dindnt like the design of hairline initially ,but at this point , its actually looking good ..Again, cant say how it ll look after a couple a months

I ll b updating pictures on 8th september (i.e. 4 months mark ) ... u can judge for urself

Thanks. I checked his website, it says INR 70/graft.

 

Btw, did you travel to Chandigarh twice? Once for the consult and then for the HT?

yes i did go there twice ... nd i actually paid less than the price qouted

Hey Crusade,

 

Your hairline looks good. I am in Delhi and exploring reliable FUE HT options. Could you indicate as to how much does Dr. Bhatti charge for the HT? Also, were there any other options that you considered?

 

Thanks

Well i am from delhi aswell . . I did explore a couple of options in delhi BUT

1. They could not show me , what u call , a catalogue of their past patients and their results

2. Those who did (one doctor if i remember correctly) , were charging a lot about rs90-120 per graft .

Dr bhatti , on the other hand , does a hair transplant every single day so he has loads of experience plus with a little bargaining with the mgmt , i cud get my HT done at less than 50% of the price offered in delhi .

hope it helps

Nice Crusade......reckon you should put a couple more pics? Was under the impression you would have grown your hair longer than the pic posted....

 

Hairline looks very natural....what you reckon?

well ,i did let my hair grow for abt 2months but trimmed em off .... the thing is , the grafts which did not go into dormant phase kept on growin n so those hair were longer as compared to the new hair which hv been sprouting up lately ... so i kinda decided to give it an even look ..

yea , hairline looks good for now but i still hv a long way to go from here .

You generally get an idea of final results by the end of month 6 , so still 3 months to go ..

finally hit the 3 months mark! ..

Crusade,

 

can you show us your latest pic? any improvements. Try not to be too close to the light

i ll hit 3 months mark on 8th aug ... will update then

This is my piece of advice. If you really want to have some hair on your head you need to start on finasterid. You are heading for an advanced NW patterns. Your new uploaded pictures shows a decrease in your excisting hair. So i don't think that HT + minoxidil will give you a full head of hair. If you're ok with not having a full head of hair and you don't want to take finasterid that fine. The reason why i am writing this is so you will not be disappointed.

Thanks for your advice . Actually in the last pic i posted, i had a CFL shining jus 2 feet above my head ,plus my hair are less than a cm long ryt now . I plan on waiting a month or two for my hair to reach length similar to what i had pre op. After that i ll b able to assess the situation better .. and if needed , i wont hesitate starting on a low dose of finasteride .

Btw does fin help in regrowing hair or will it just maintain my existing hair ?..

hey mate,

 

you said that out of 1200 grafts, 100-150 grafts didn't fall off and another 200-300 sprouting...so what happened to the remainder 550 - 750 grafts???

 

Also, do you have to apply minoxidil on ur newly transplanted areas?

Keep us posted as I'm looking to get mine done by Dr Bhatti

1. Yes ,i have been applying minoxidil regularly to my transplanted hair aswell

2. Again , it has only been 2 months since my HT and i have started seeing some serious growth in the past few days . As far as i hv read on this forum , people generally start seeing growth after 3.5-4 months .

I am pretty happy with the results so far , remaining grafts will show up with time ..

that's very bad..... your money totally wasted

dude it has only been 2 months since my Hair transplant ...u need to wait for a minimum of 6 months to see results... i just updated cuz another forum member (Iroy) wanted to see how it looks like at 2 months mark ...

2 months and 4 days update

Under DirectLight

out of 1200 grafts

- about 100-150 grafts didnt fall off

- can see another 200-300 sprouting up

- have been on biotin and minoxidil 2% foam for the past 1 month and though i do not find any broken hair on my fingers after a nice massage of minoxidil , i still kinda feel that my existing hair density is decreasing .. .. or maybe its just because my hair are way shorter than what they were before op.

Hope this helps ... m still waiting for the results though

Hi and good to see your photos, looks good to me. Is it possible to call you to chat about FUE and your experience, can I have ur phone number please. I will call you from Doha or Dubai. Your suggestions will help

sent you a private msg .. happy to help

You mention thinning beyond the hairline, did the doctor ever discuss adding density to this area at some point in the future? Are you on finasteride?

1.) I have been prescribed finasteride (1mg * 6 months) , minoxidil foam 2%(once a day before bed) and biotin .

But i am 23 and way too apprehensive about finasteride , ED n stuff ! .. So no finasteride for now .

Anyways it has been 1month and 8 days since my HT n i hv started with minoxidil 2%(tugain) and biotin .

2.) Actually i asked doc for transplanting some grafts in crown area and on top of my head but he refused saying i have an okay density and meds can take care of that , plus he said i wont like the shock loss .. but the rate at which i am loosing my hair , i m pretty sure i would need another procedure an the coming 4-5 yrs

Day 10-11 show time : Well ! the scabs have fallen off completely and i believe about 10% hair shafts came off along with the scabs ...

I am satisfied with the density i see as of now (its more than what i have on top of my head)

my only concern is the the design of hairline ... it looks fine at the center and towards the right side but is kinda straight on the left side ... i mean , it doesn't look natural.. or may be its too early to comment ...

Any ways ... so far so good
