Im happy with the rest of my hair, which is fairly full as ive had another transplant before. I mostly wanted that area pictured to be filled in, which is why i just included that

So I got a transplant in Thailand at Dr Kongkiat Laorwong mid Jan this year, so we're pretty much coming up to the end of 12 months and while one side is good Im really upset about the left side. Its completely patchy and singular and there is almost a line when i come my hair where you can see the weak amount of hair on the side of my temple. It is also incredibly sparse as you can see each individual hair and little density. Dr Laorwong says this isnt a failed hair transplant. What do you guys think? Is it a failure?

I have already had a fue with Dr Bhatti almost 6 years ago and aside from some bad placements it was actually quite successful even though I know he gets a pretty bad rap now. However my original hair is starting to think behind the transplant and I am looking to get another one done. I live in Australia and found by going to India I only ended up paying close to 4k for my transplant and so was looking to get a similar price again and was wondering what the best recommendations you guys would have for Asian surgeons. I heard Eugenix in India is good, was also thinking somewhere like Thailand. Anyway would love your input. Thanks

I have posted before just confirming that what i have is cobblestoning, which many agree that it is. I just hit the 12 month mark but can see there is still some growing to be done, I am wondering is there a way for me to fix the white lumps as they are all over the front of my hairline so its very obvious and concerning me a lot. I'm really crossing my fingers that i can repair this as it looks worse than if i had no surgery at all. I've heard mixed results on the idea of Fraxel surgery working. Thanks

I dont have a good camera, but if you focus on the right side you'll see the white bumps with hairs coming out. I need to post a better photo I guess.

So i got a fue with Dr Bhatti and now have what he calls hypertrophic scarring, but everyone else clearly calls it cobblestoning. I was told to buy some scar cream called Xeragel, I have also found such things as Scar Away etc. and was wondering if anyone knows or thinks this will actually help or is there no real fixing this problem outside of having more surgery like laser or another fue.

Hoping some of these images in the light make it a bit more clear, and its in the bright light that it looks the worst obviously and most noticeable. Dr Bhatti said quote "This will go with time. It is not usual. Some people have skin that heals excessively leading to these undulations. It will be better with time" Which could be reassuring however i think there is a chance he is being optimistic but i am unsure, obviously i am going to think the worst as im the one living it and its easier to say its all good. My fingers are crossed that it goes away but im guessing this is a permanent issue and what worries me is that it has started at 10 months growth and not at the start as some sort of transitioning phase. as you can see in the photo without the light that the hairs look very singular and there isnt much chance of it thickening up so that i can comb it over or cover it. I am not someone who's confident in himself to tell everyone i had a transplant like some people and wanted to keep it my secret but now i look disfigured and makes me feel like not only will people notice but, that i made a huge mistake.

Do I have any options at this point.. from what i've read it sounds like dr bhatti has just done a bad job on my hair and that i am permanently scarred from his surgery.

I cant really tell either, i think there are some hairs. I just googled cobblestoning and god it feels like all my nightmares are coming true. the worst of it is at the very front of my hairline. its so bumpy, it didn't used to look like that only in the past few months its started to look bumpy along with the fact that its sparse i really feel like i've made the biggest mistake of my life visitng dr bhatti. is there any advice/help?

So its been roughly ten months since my fue with dr bhatti and it was growing great for a while but recently the front looks really sparse and bumpy and the other day i noticed that all across the sides of my hairline is dotted with the white scars. Im worried that this is always going to look this way, as i never used to be able to see any scarring, is there a reason why it just started being noticeable? Is there any chance that hair will grow through this?

So its almost been a year (10 months) the sides were thickening but ive started to notice all the white dots (scars) are visible along my hairline which is really troubling, i didnt think this would be so noticeable or obvious at all, i havent reall yseen this in other patients before. Also in the front of my hairline the spacing is really poor, like a singular trees in the woods. Any ideas on the dotted scarring?

Exactly one month out from the procedure! Didnt lose nearly as many hairs as i thought i would have. happy so far

Hi guys thanks for commenting on the post. While yes my initial reactions on the first day were of confusion and a little negative, the next day I had a bit more of a chance to get my questions answered, also it was explained to me that there was an issue with another patient that I wont go into but it caused a lot of issues for all the staff and it sounded traumatic for the staff. None of these issues i might add were of the clinics fault but of the patients lack of disclosing personal issues. I am now resting and feeling a lot better about everything and have actually had plenty of nice chats with Dr. Bhatti over dinner at his villa in Kasauli. If you ever decide to get treatment with him I highly recommend spending some time up here to recover, it is truly a beautiful and peaceful place. I might post some pictures at a later date, for now imagine a shaved skull with red dots all over it, I'll try to update when the fun stuff starts.

So a bit of background I am 30 and have had a receding hairline since i was 17. I still have a bit of hair at the front but it has drastically gone over the past 2 years so after lots of research and the fact that I was taking a trip to India anyway I decided to try Dr. Bhatti. We had emailed back n forth for a while and I had sent him photos of what i would like it to look like. So I arrived at 7pm the night before surgery and was sent to the hotel ab, I thought there was a chance that he would like to have a chat before hand but we didnt. Anyways so I get picked up at 6.50am and taken to darling buds clinic. The place is nice and all but I found the staff really strange, almost abrupt and non communicative. Eventually around 7.30 I met Dr. Bhatti who drew my hair line way down and I stated no no I want it to look a lot more natural like the photos I had showed you. This all seemed somewhat new to him which I found a bit weird. Next thing we moved into another room and I sat in a chair, and without even telling me he started shaving the donor area... now yes obviously this is something thats meant to happen but it just seemed like a long list of things that were never explained to me. It felt like everything was so rushed and being in an uncomfortable and nervous situation I never felt like anyone was trying to put me at ease. The procedure quickly went ahead and was relatively painless but once again nothing was explained to me it was just lie down and bam they were operating. I've spent months researching on here and you guys point out things like how many doubles, triple grafts, the size of the extractor in millimeters etc. none of this was told to me at all. When they began to put in the grafts I remember asking will Dr. Bhatti be doing this and one of the ladies said yes, which wasn't true at all as he only showed up once roughly during the end of it. Not that the ladies seemed to do a bad job it was just yes once again a lack of communication. After surgery I was asked to sit in the waiting room for 1 hour and have my head sprayed every twenty minutes. After that hour was up I asked what to do and they said wait another hour, then someone brought me some lunch which was nice so i scoffed that down and asked whats next and they said how long have you waited and i said 2 hours.. wait another hour was the response. If someone said that he is very busy in surgery and that once he is done with two other patients he will come to see you and change your bandages then that would of been great and I would have understood except none of that happened. I really felt like i had done something wrong to piss him everyone off or something. Finally after the three and a bit hours I was asked to come in and see Dr. Bhatti, he said have you been talking or moving your face because it is bleeding... Once again no one said not to move my face or not to talk .. why would this not be told to me? I was asked if there were anymore questions and I said i had one about the photos he took in which i dont want them published on the website and it was brushed off and we will speak tomorrow. From there I paid my money and got in a cab, where the driver didnt want to carry my really heavy travelling bag for me so I had to carry it to the hotel which worried me as i would be causing stress to my skull. Well here I am sitting around spraying my head every twenty minutes until midnight feeling very confused and scared and nervous about whether i've made the right descion and if now i'll just be laughed at if it looks silly ... plus I have no idea how im going to conceal it for the next three months as it hopefully stars to grow. I know this has come off super negative and I think the work looks well done, I just wish for the money i just spent I was treated a little nicer and given some time and patience.

Hi i was wondering what happens to the rest of your hair that im assuming will continue balding?.. after getting a great new hairline does the rest of the hair keep falling out leaving you with a bald middle and a great fringe? or is there some preventative taken whilst the surgery is done like filling in those areas too? Thanks
