This is my first review about the doctor who performed my first HT and I would like keep it as honest as possible so, that some one else in similar situation would be able to take a better decision.
In 2011 I did my first HT with Amitaabhh Shrivaaatav from Pune.I was insane that I did not do any research work before I went on to do a HT.
Hair loss panicked me and I started looking for HT.I was not want aware that HT is more of an art and not mere plucking hair from the back and putting it on your scalp.There are various things that need to considered from a doctors perspective, the number of hair in the follicular unit, the angularity and direction of the hair are a few.
When the HT is done you may fill up the scalp with so many Follicular units, but the placement of the hair at the front matter the most otherwise, people whom you meet tend focus on the hairline and keep on wondering "what's that ?".
Coming back to my HT experience, the doctor has 3-4 nurses who helped him identify the number of hair a follicular units a had,ony 3-5 hair units were plucked out(I underwent a FUE HT, the nurses were thrilled with excitement when they identified a 5 haired UNIT)It took around 3 hours to extract 800 units , then the doctor made holes with some punch instrument and the nurses inserted the hair units into these holes.The hole making and insertion took not more than 1 hour.
Extraction does take time but identifying best grafts and then making holes with desired depth, angles and direction matter very much, but in my case this process finished in 1 hour flat and the results were obvious.
My hair were pointing in all directions, I could not style them, I had wispy hair,100 of such hair still exist till date (2015).When care is not taken with the graft extraction, handling and insertion this usually happens(It is generally a result of a damaged graft , sometimes due to shock but , it fades out as the hair grows)I was expecting the hair to become straight over time but I see that they are damaged beyond control.When I asked the doctor about the wispy and curly hair he asked me to tie them with a rubber band, I was surprised to hear this from such a qualified medical practitioner.
The doctor gave me some refund but scarred me for life until I went in for a second HT at some other place in pune, a big chain of HT clinics which could not rework on the scar nor give me a natural hair line.
Please see my attached photos and choose for your self.
I will advice, get is right the first time as, rework always damages the original.Don't go for the cheaper ones, they will almost always cost you more in the long run.
Finally we have this great forum which helps people with best surgeons all over the world.
