Hi, my name is Reid Crowley and I would like to state from the beginning that I'm a previous patient of Dr Bhatti and act as a patient coordinator for overseas patients wishing to book with the Doctor. I tend not to post on the forums, but I came across this post and felt that the discussion would benefit from viewing a hairline (my own) that has developed full term. Please see below Just a few points that I feel anyone who is considering a hair transplant may need to take into account with regards to hairline design. Firstly, the majority of people that consider a hair transplant procedure are generally in their early 20's to mid 30's & sometimes don't take into account that, what may be suitable for them at 21, may not be so well suited at 41 or 51. Therefore much care has to be taken when designing a patients hairline so that the final result looks seemingly natural and appropriate for the patient as the years pass by. I was very thankful to the doctor for designing mine in just that way, I can understand why most patients would like a lowered, more horizontally structured hairline with little or no recession above the temple peaks, however it just doesn't look natural as a patient ages, keeping in mind that hair transplants are permanent! Secondly, Each patient would be taken upon the merit of their own case, for example a patient of Afro-Caribbean descent wouldn't warrant the same hairline considerations as a Caucasian patient. When I had my hair transplant back on 25/03/2012, we discussed the possibility of creating a lower, more squared hairline, however due to my larger frame and head the doctor suggested a subtle curved recession of my hairline above my temple peaks, as it would soften my facial features as opposed to a straighter more squared hairline as many would maybe prefer. Lastly, after reading many of the posts, I don't believe for one minute Dr Bhatti's results (i.e % of implanted grafts being successful) are being brought into question! It really is a point of aesthetic taste & variance in styles of hairline design. All I would suggest to anyone who would be considering the doctor, that they should refer to his previous patient pictures to judge for themselves. Also just as a general piece of advice for anyone who is considering a procedure with any doctor for that matter. I would advise them to research different styles of hairlines extensively and even look at famous stars or celebrities and find a look that they would ultimately want to achieve, this is always an invaluable aid to take to a consultation with a doctor, and may bear many fruits in ultimately achieving the style and look you desire!

Hi midnightio75, Excellent write up, I had 3050 FUE grafts myself with Dr Bhatti back in March 2012. Please gives an update, I always find it exciting to see how other patients are coming on!!! Regards HTindia
