I do appreciate help of people here who have tried to highlight the fine nuances of Hair Transplant. That is what I am here for...I am not rushing in to things if someone may think so. It is just that I dont have a 6 month period where I can get the HT Done, at the most a months research and I should be able to decide yes or a No ! Some of the guys here have just said things which do not really give any insights about HT. Like I have been saying getting a Artifical Hairline and shockloss with my other normal, strong hair is the most important thing for me. But other then that even I understand it, as HT should be done only if the sitaution really warrants ! what 's so extraordinary about being able to think this, I know that, I am aware about it :-)

No that is what is happening with you ! You dont admit it ! But you surely feel pissed off ! With your very ordinary advice you felt you did the most outstanding thing which was very ordinary thing even a no-brainer can understand it. With all your replies here, tell me one thing that you mentioned here which truly enlightened me except for the fact that Dont do a HT if you dont require ! Thats a No Brainer ! I have that it in my mind I dont want your dirty, abusive, filthy language to make me convince and understand it. :mad:

You need attention, you need someone to tell you wow what a perspective you have ? that is what you want which I did not give is that what pissed you off ?

You are saying the same things again...You did that out of choice what's the point in repeating it again and again when I sam saying no you have not done any favour to me !! :rolleyes: So now for sure with your posts I will act Ignorant !

Why does everyone here keeps telling this, what a big favour they did when they are just commenting and that is not help, help is something which Mickey85 has done by providing really valuable informstion...help is something which Matt1978 did, people just commenting and saying I helped you and that you should thank me for the rest of your life how is that help anyways ?? Excuse me ?? What and how did u help me ?? by just giving me another side of HT which otherwise also I am aware about as I keep looking for horror stories of HT on google aswell not just here ! That you havent said anything new!! No my friend I don't think u have helped me by anything and I really should indebted to u all my life. So pls stop patronising me !!

You are a inspiration to me now, your case is just like mine, infact you are at a better condition than I am, you have quite fuller and thicker even before your HT but you had the good fortune to get it done from Dr.Umar I wish I could do that !!

And he is also a morale Dampener !!

Please do that once u have it ! I had discussion with Dr Radha once though she sounded knowledgable I thought after a point she becomes a little irritable to prove who is the Dr kind of thing, I started asking questions to her and though she said I don't mind answering it but she said reading on the Internet will give you what only about 5% knowledge about HT with that you cannot compete with a HT surgeon on what best practices does she adopt ! Which kind of disappointed me a bit. I thought she was not open with someone getting too much in detail about the HT Procedure !

Can you put a Picture of the FUT scar after the HT ? How does it look ? Like you say it is Pencil thin scar, I am curious to see how thin it is !

And I cannot afford Bisanga or Feriduni :eek:

So are you saying Zig-Zag Pattern is not the right pattern while making slits ? You said you had a small procedure done in the past where your surgeon used the "stick and place" technique can you tell me more about it ? and also the other thing you mentioned is Most of the top docs use precised sized blades to create the recipient sites ? so what are these precised size blades ?

Any idea if Dr Bhatti uses a single hair graft in the frontal area and if he uses a zig zag method of planting slits ?

I genuinely don't know this, may sound naive but clarifying for people who accuse me of trolling. So one hair Graft can have more then 2-3 Hair Follicle right ? (And hair follicle is different from Hair strand or is it the same) So having one hair graft with one hair follicle is one approach of not having it but how about placing the slits isn't that also equally important like adopting the zig-zag approach and not placing the slits in one symmetrical line that is very important right ?

FYI I have already had a telephonic conversation with Dr.Bhatti but we did not talk about anything that you talk about here. I don't know every time you come here divert the topic and then say that we'll, you did not mean it and then you tell me I am trolling. I guess you will do me a favour not commenting here because you make things sound more sarcastic and complicated then be genuinely advising anything.

Not having a Artificial Hairline is the, the important thing for me, I thought you were the first very few supporters of Dr. Bhatti talking about Dr.Bhatti's good work and now you saying that Dr.Bhatti is not as good as others with the Hairline this is really making me very very scared and nervous about doing it with him now, Not Having a "Doll" like hairline is the very important thing for me !! Your this statement has shaken my decision which till now I had almost finalised in the last 1-2 days. It is giving me shivers with the idea of Hair Transplant now. I was with the first Surgeon who I still think and feel is better than Dr.Bhatti atleast in India but is like Crazy expensive $ 3.5 for a hair graft, so even he adopts the zig-zag approach of placing the slits and hair grafts so as to not end up having a "Artificial Hairline" I am stone shocked when you say that Bhatti does not have this approach I strongly feel that is the key thing (The. Zig Zag approach) to avoid not having a Artificial Hairline and he does not have this approach ?? Whoa :eek: that is scary man ! that really is getting scary !! :eek: again making me confused !! You see now I am really getting frustrated reading and visualising all this, making me go mad on should I be even doing a HT or not there are too many complications guys, then to get the right Dr, who has the right approach blah...blah...:eek: I think I will go mad till the end of this.:rolleyes:

This is getting interesting what do you mean by single hair grafts in the hairline ?

Ok guys let me put this straight without beating too much around the bush. Yes I feel I need hair at the empty corners of my forehead I feel that will change my look and just fill in the gap which I have always felt but never really too much bothered. I am most likely planning to do it with Dr.Bhatti what are my chances of ending up with a Artifical "Doll" like hairline ? Any straight confident answers to my this statement ? Dr.Bhatti = Artificial Hairline yes or no ?

Spanker your comments always come as a respite :-) I will reply to mickey85 comments in a little detail later. But Frankly your comment brought a smile on my face :-)

So from what I understand you are saying If I Just wanna fill in the Corners I can, but not to bring the hairline down right ? But even if I Just fill in the corners that will still mean a new hairine right ? Maybe the peak will be the same but hairline will definitely change even if I Just do the corners. Also in terms of artifically looking hairline, I have seen some senior members here suggest that any HT Surgeon reccomended here on this forum, will give you a Natural looking hairline, so people were suggesting here I should have no no worries on that front ? Right ? Wrong ? I dont know ? And I didnt understand when you say I am really curious to know what do you mean by this...Are you saying I should go low in desnity because it is a Frontal area ? is that what you mean?

Ok Guys an update. With the growing number of difference in opinion here (And sadfully in this process, making some people get a little worked up here, which I didn't intend to...) on the number of grafts that I may require, I thought let me just ask again the first Doctor who gave me this grafts estimate who I think was right. Now looks like the Hairline I assumed he was talking about and the Hairline which he actually meant for 500 Grafts were totally different. So we went through all this all over again, of drawing a Hairline now this time we drew 2 hairlines one slight up and the other a little below that so with the first hairline (from the top) It turns out that I may require close to around 1500 Grafts and the second from the top around 2000 Grafts. First one would be around 1.5-1.75 cms and second around 2 Cms below from my current hairline. (And this does not involve bringing the widow's peak down this just covers bringing the hairline a little low but keeping the centre, widow's peak at the same level so this new hairline will start a little low and join/merge in the widow's peak And this has shot up my Budget like Crazy :eek: This is giving nightmares to me now, with an objective to just enhance my look It has started me think that should I be even looking at it to do it ? Simultaneously was going through some horror stories of Hair Transplants going horribly wrong namely, Doll Hairline, Too Much gaps between 2 slits is making me terrified. I dont know how to convince myself in getting in to this. I want the final result but am scared of the process what if anything goes wrong ?

I think you still need to understand what forums and communities like these are meant for...It is not always for only after you have done something, It is also to acquire, find information about something, before you are going to attempt something. And that also involes asking questions Hypothetically( Not Fictiously It is called Hypothetically not fictiously lemme correct your English) Regarding My Pm to you, I was asking you since you have already done the procedure with him, do you by any chance found him, or got a feeling that he may get too commercialised with things ? I was no way accusing him, that he for sure is a unethical person and he for sure will do it with me... But without understanding my comments you started putting words in my mouth.

Good points. Will rethink on my strategy. And yes I am not in any denial :-) who else could be a better judge of me then me myself which I have been watching myself since childhood that My hairline has not changed one bit, it was the same 20 years back and it is the same even right now aswell !! I have all my past photos to compare what more could be a convincing proof then the photos.

Ladies and Gentleman 120th time :-) I am not losing hair :-)

lol ! I dont think anyone other then you have had any problems understanding my english so perhaps it is not a problem with my english but like you admit your understanding of english because of not being your native language. It surely looks as if you are having hard time understanding me ? When did Dr.Bhatti come in to picture ? When did I say he is unethical ? Are you crazy or what ? I have not even approached Dr.Bhatti, when did this Dream come to you that I have already approached him and we have had a discussion on estimated grafts and he is giving me a high number of grafts when not required...woosh ! :eek: Do you read my comments with a glass of Vodka in your hand or what ? Please do not spread ill feelings here about me or for any Reputed Doctor. I have not done that, I am not even intending to do that. "Please read and understand what I am saying" DO NOT JUST DERIVE CONCLUSIONS AND PICTURES WITHOUT A PROPER UNDERSTANDING ! My question was purely hypothetical that when I have already got a estimate of 500 Grafts from one renowned HT surgeon "what if" I am again repeating "If" the second Dr gives me outrageously high number of Grafts it will raise doubts in my mind so how should I look at this entire thing. That is all what I was saying. My entire assumption was based on "What if" do you now get it ?

I am sure people agree here if a Doctor says you need 1000 but you want 600 then I cannot make it look more dense is ethically not correct. That raises a lot of question about that Doctors authenticity as genuinely concerned about giving the best results to his patient.
