Pls keep us posted once your planted hair start falling ....which I feel takes 20 days post op.

I saw mine... and the falling hair-roots looked like J hook i.e. the papilla/bulb was bent in a U shape.

I am afraid if such an upsidedown root would result in hair growth INWARD (deeper into the skin) or will the hair come out straightened (outside the skin).

Didn't they fall out? I heard two months post op almost all of them fall down.

is it? where did u read it?

It is foliclitis.... Infection of roots.

Touch base with your doc immediately.

Hi... CAn you PM me the cost you incurred for your procedure. How much does Dr. Sohi charge per graft?

Dr. Nigam ...Is there any patient of yours who is 100% HM (no FUE, no FUT etc.) and 6 months post op?

I would love to see his pics.

MJ,

Can you post one more front pic of yours post op. I suspect left and right side wavy patterns are not similar. Could be my illusion only.

my God.... I got confused between Dr. Bhatty (which you mentioned) and Dr. Bhatti (in India). Both sound similar.

No, it is not changed. It is hairtransplant-india dot org

The one you guys seeing is of some consultant, i guess. Notice it mentions "our surgeon......" and dr. bhatti is there.

BTW soon I will be visiting his clinic and update you guys.

Dr. Bhatti, I heard that beard hair become grey sooner than head hair.

Will it be same if they are transplanted?

Dear Friends on Forum,

Midnightio has just completed 30 days after the procedure- FUE hair transplant.

He is progressing well. The hair shall now continue to grow till 6-8 weeks when around 60% of the growing hair shall start shedding.

Why the shedding you would ask?- The growth that Midnightio is witnessing in most planted hair is not the hair which are growing but the root underneath that is sprouting a new hair. This hair is pushing the old shaft outwards. The new hair just about reaches the surface at around 6-8 weeks- the time when the shedding takes place. The remaining about 40% grafts continue to grow since they do not get disjointed from the root.

In response to theMidnightios other queries-

Also, can you also describe variables such as hair thickness and skin color/complexion and how this affects and influences hair transplants in general? I know that I have thin hair and a fair (white) complexion which may present some challenges. Ofcourse the thicker your hair is, the better the result after a hair transplant. However, Midnightio's hair is blondish and since there is not too much of a contrast with his fair skin, he should still have a satisfactory result in within the next 4-8 months.

 

One other question -- Since grafts (besides body hair grafts) are harvested from the rear of the scalp, is it correct that this hair is genetically programmed to continue to grow through my lifetime? Is this always true? Or is this hair also subject to changes due to aging? The hair at the back of the head does not have receptors to DHT and hence it is widely believed that it is permanent in nature. However, since thinning of even this hair occurs in those in 70s and 80s, the transplanted hair will mirror this change whenever it occurs.

Dr. Bhatti,

Looking at the front side of the pics of "midnightio"... I dont see the hair are following any particular alignment. They are growing like in crazy directions... some in left some in right.

How do you make sure of the alignment while operating?

@Jasser

 

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

@Crusade

Hi Crusade, me too from delhi and considering Dr. Bhatti for the procedure.

I would love to meet you in delhi and see your results by myself.

Please PM me your contact number and/or email id.

thanks,

Pradeep

I didn't know about autoclave thanks to this forum. Thanks dr. bhatti for explaining.

Now, I feel HT is safe

Dr. Bhatti,

How do you make sure that HIV infection doesn't spread through the procedure.

After all HT involves scalpels, forceps, punch etc. which come in contact with the patient's blood.

Dr. Nigam,

What about my first question?

i.e.,

1) I read that beard hair are better as they are thicker and grow long. How about pubic hair? They are even better than the beard ones.

I am eager to know this because I am willing to go for HT and I have ample of those hair there.

Hi Deepak,

Just curious to know whether your doc prescribed propecia/finasteride after ur HT?

Hi Dr. Nigam,

1) I read that beard hair are better as they are thicker and grow long. How about pubic hair? They are even better than the beard ones.

2) What about stem cell resulting into a tumour/cancer in near future?
