I other words what you are saying is If I intend to bring my hairline down by just 1 Cm it is not worth to do a 1000 graft for it ? Aim for a little more lower and then 1000 grafts would make sense ? is that what you are saying ? I don't think I would ever think about lowering it below 1.5 CMS notes, no ways. I will still do a 1 Cm and the last thing only and only If I think it is sill not doing too much max I can just about go to 1.5 cm but definitely not below that.

Ok the other thought behind this thing is, I would like to rather start slow with a lesser number of grafts as I am not sure how will this entire thing turn out, like I have been saying I am not bald nor am I losing hair it is just to lower my hairline I have been thinking about this. So it would be advisable to start less aggressive and do it again if not satisfied then to go aggressive and cover a lager area and then repent as I will not be able to go back and undo it.

See there you go...It is becoming a growing consensus 500-600 is max I would require. C'mon Guys India's "The Best" Doctor in HT has given me this estimate and convincingly he has made me believe this so he cannot be wrong. I wish I can only afford him.

what if he then tells me I cannot make it look thicker and fuller then dont blame it on me :rolleyes: I guess if a doctor makes such a drastic statment, the best point is not to get it done from him atall. Because then it raises question on the whole performance, quality of the results. That speaks a lot, if somebody goes on to make such a statement.

Now this is really becoming a challenge for me, I dont know how to deal with this. I had almost Finalised a Doctor who according to me is the best but his Rates are ridiculosuly expensive (People with USD/AUD/EUR/GBP, please dont compare here, I am an Indian having Indian Rupees and in Indian Rupees it is way way too expensive, the Doctor that I am talking about) he is exorbitantly expensive which is becoming too too heavy on my pocket. He has given me a Graft Estimate of only 500-600 Grafts and that is what I would like to believe because of my extremely low requirement. So now because I cannot afford him, I decide to move to the second best I have mentioned his name here who is in the North of India who I may want to get in touch with, but because his rates are so low to make up for the deficit he might unnecessarily give me a higher estimate and he will be in no mood to listen to the estimate what the other Doctor has given me. So the net net result is the same then. Less Grafts+High Price = More Grafts+Low Price. How do I get a way outta this ?

Please explain what does it mean ?

Did this in a lot of my earlier threads, people here have suggested should be between 500-1000 but in any case should not go beyond 1000 grafts no way... And the 500 graft count matches to the doctor I met personally even he said 500 grafts only, now if someone tells me 1000 I would be very wary of him...

Does it get swollen like this always with everyone ?

This happens in the entire medical field, not just HT diagnosis of all Doctor is different from each other unless it is something like a organ failure kind of thing which all the doctors have to agree because it is a very evident thing. But something that cannot be seen or examined by the naked eye each one will have his own theory and chances are one who has said less and if you take it as an example and use it as a example with the second. The second might just say I don't care what the first has said but this is what I feel and think. It is easily a good way to Hike up the Graft count and there by hike up the bill. That is what I fear about. Now in my case if the Number one Ranked Doctor in HT in India most arguably (Sorry have been warned here against giving his name) tells me I only require 500-600 grafts just because I cannot afford his rates, I go to somebody else the next will one have his own graft count, this is what I hate and don't wanna let happen.

Read my earlier thread in the other section which goes by "How many more grafts required just to bring widow's peak down"

Because I am in India and I don't wanna get it done outside India.

Yes I have gone through some threads here about Dr.Bhatti. Thanks for your help since you have already done a procedure with him I sure do have some questions for you regarding him, I will PM you those...

I get your point Mate and that is what I am most worried about I know with my kind of requirement which even the tools now given here to measure a estimate hair grafts required confirm this, that I don't require a lot of grafts so the moment a Dr starts talking about some outrageously high number of hair grafts that I would require like 1000-1500 it really starts ringing the red alarm in my mind

His website does have a contact form, but no email ID, can anyone mention here his Email Id ?

So he is good but he is not officially Reccomended by the Forum here is that what u r saying ?

So if one reputed Dr tells me say 600 grafts and for the same thing if a equally reputed Dr tells me 1000 grafts How do I decide who is giving me a correct estimate and what is the correct, true number of grafts that I require and that is indeed the case 3-4 doctors that I have met, sent my pictures all have given me different number of estimates !! So now how Do I know who is correct and how much do I require ?

Wait a second I am getting confused again you are saying 600 grafts for widow's peak only that includes the area around the widow's peak line right ? like where my hairline ends on the forehead that entire border line right ? Like the one you have marked in red light on my picture or are you saying 600 just for the centre peak the middle portion tip of my hairline.

Hey Guys, I have got an quote from a Dr whose name cannot be used here he is the best but then so are expensive his charges as well. As a second best option, just second in the list. Since I only wanna do a FUE Technique I was thinking about Dr. Tejinder Bhatti in Chandigarh India. How is his feedback ? does he do a good job ? in terms of results produced ? is he recommended here ? Please Advise ? Thanks Augustya

Fantastic !! You are my Hero ! The red line is exactly what I am looking for...So you are saying even if it goes a little low in the temples with the First Line the Red Line it should still not be more then 600 Grafts right ?

I don't think FUT or FUE has got anything to do with the results or density, results can be the same with both it is the extracting method that seperates both of them the implanting method is the same with both so how can the result be different for both finally it depends on the skill and expertise of the Doctor doing it as the results can vary based on how he does it rather then what methodology he uses it.

Oh Man that's gonna be tough :-) let me try so if I wanna bring my widows peak down by 1 index finger which would be roughly 1 CM does it mean I will require another 40 grafts just to bring my peak down ?

Nope not always, though me myself I am asking for a graft estimate here I know atleast this much it also depends on the skill of he Doctor u r getting it Done from...

Please don't hijack my thread ! If u r looking out for some help put it as a separate thread !!

I used the Calculate Grafts required mentioned in the sticky notes put here by Mickey85 http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/mm/calc.html and Boy was I not delighted by the results it gave. It gave me a Estimate of Grafts required, exactly what the Dr I am planning to get it done from told me, 500 Grafts. However this is just to bring the hairline along the widow's peak to bring a 1 CM down so If I just incase even think about bringing my widow's peak point a little lower should I add what ? another 50/100 grafts more for this ? Please see the attached picture, it shows the point that I am also thinking about ? Thanks in Advance !
