Below are few questions you must ask your doctor to get clear picture of your HT 1.Don't make the same mistake I made , do proper research of doctor, technique they use. 2.Will they cover future balding areas 3. do they shave your head for gap free transplant this covers future balding areas 4.how many scars at back of your head , how long and how high 5.Will transplant leave any marks on your head like small pimples 6. will transplant hair natural , come out vertical like a hair brush or like matural hair slanted. 7.See at least 10 photos of old patients with balding pattern same as yours,there can be people with different balding patterns , you should know how some one with you hair line turned up after transplant. 8. Ask if he performs the transplant or lets his untrained nurses do it, happened with me !! 9.Have a very clear picture of what area doc will cover , ask him to sketch it for you using pencil and paper. 10. How will it look as you age with natural hair fall , you might be left with patches of hair in front and bald patches making situations worse. 11. Realistical what kind of results you can expect, what is the life of transplanted hair. 12. Most important how to stop further hair loss to prevent present hair line from going further back. If a doctor is hesitant in answering your questions dont go to him , none of these doctors take any guarantee and if things go bad yo are on your own so see to it he must answer all your questions. REMEMBER BAD HAIR TRANSPLANT IS EVEN WORSE THAN PREMATURE BALDING.

My friend if you see the pic posted by me , you are going to end up similarly, he has just transplanted in front of your head and alreay there is a small gap in real hair and new hair, on that all hairs are standing upright. With tme when your hair line recedes bit (in 2 years time) you will have similar situation as me. ALWAYS INSIST THAT THE DOCTOR SHAVE THE TRANPLANTED PORTION AND FILLES ANY AND ALL GAPS BETWEEN REAL HAIR AND TRANSPLANT HAIR IN ALREADY THINNING AREAS OR YOUR SITUATION WILL BE REAL BAD.

Hello Friends, I am 26 years of age. I started loosing my hair when I was 17 due to typhoid and then there was no looking back , I had progressive hair loss.I tried all types of medication--acupuncture,laser,massage but nothing helped. I wasn't very confident in my college and was scared to go to my native as my relatives made fun of me. So when I got my first job , I decided to go for a Transplant with all my savings of 6-7 months. I searched on Net as there was no other way to find a good HT doctor , first name which came was doctor in bangalore (he extensively advertises, I learned it later that all that glitters is no gold), I met him , he said we'll bring your hair line down by 2 inches and will need 1300 grafts at cost of 30 per graft.After HT he said we have put 1700 grafts and charged me 5K more. I was happy for 45k ill have my hair back. he did not advice me to take any medication to stop hair fall or anything. I got my HT done , my exiting hair WAS Not shaved and 2 inch patch was added in front. when my Transplanted hair grew they were look toothbrush bristles , standing erect, , I went to DOC he said this is because they are small , then there was a GAP between transplanted hair and original hair on Left hand side , , Doctor said this is because your hairline has receded after transplant, can any one explain why didn't he consider this while transplanting. the density in front of my head was very bad so I couldn't part my hair in side Nor in middle. . In 2 years time the gap between transplanted hair original hair was very clear , it is one full line.I was traumatized as I was looking like a Porcupine, I had to keep m hair all in front like Lalu Prasad yadav. everyone was asking me whats wrong with your hair. Worst past Dr punches wholes to transplant this left small mounds on my head in transplanted area like small pimples , so now I can not even go bald as it looks very odd with front portion with these mounds. This is after spending 50k on my HT and medication. I was so traumatized I used to put black color on my head to hide shining white skin between my hair. Now i went to all doctors to see if I can get this fixed Non surgically , they all said its a very BAD transplant and nothing can be done. I considered another transplant , I called Dr's office , this gentlemen is now charging 35 per graft. I was like I am not going to be fooled again. I searched on net and came to (another bad doctor)..met him, he charged 300 for consultation. showed me pics of his operations , said i ll take hair from below ears and stuff, now I already have a scar from previous HT and his doctor wants to make more Scars and make back of my head look like a Criss-Cross. He even said Ill put some 300 grafts on your crown(back of head). I was like OK, but for some reason I thought I need to do research more this time than to make same BIG mistake I made last time. He gave me a few names and I met all of them (even though it costed me 1500 more to meet these different docs) 1. When I met him and told him my situation , he told me that If I would have met him when I was 24 to not go for HT at such young age, take medication to stop hair fall and then consider HT. 2.He told he will take skin from back of my head in such a way it will leave only 1 scar, he will take of the previous scar so I am let with only one scar, this Dr never thought of.This was such a relief because Dr had left a heinous scar on back of my head which looked like Barbwire. 3.He convinced me that I should not have any hair on my crown , because he said hair on back of my head is still thinning and with proper usage of finepecia and mintop it can be controlled , moreover if I get few 100 hairs on back when at old age my hair will recede from back it will look like a an island of hair ,very awkward. 4.He said he will shave front of my head put hair in such a way that there is no gap , he will increase density of old transplanted and will transplant even in areas which already have hair for future balding. 5. He said be realistic , hairs will fall one day , I will transplant in such a way that when you are old your transplanted hair look natural. Now none of the doctors told me these things , they say yes to everything you say. A doctor should give you a realistic view , not just consider his business. You should ask a lot of questions to your doctor , as many , there should be no doubt in your head. Friends none of us want to to go for a Transplant in first place , it is not very pleasant and is very expensive. But what can be really worse is a BAD transplant , because that will make you life even worse.So choose your Doctor very very wisely , think of long term effects , so that you don't have to go through the ordeal of Multiple HT. I am posting my before and after pictures below.
