I’m guessing the yield is like 75%. Along the temple peaks it is maybe 90%, but in the front middle it is too sparse, and has been for the past few months while the other areas grew in. The left temple point is seriously thin.

While I was on the operating chair, after grafts had been extracted, Dr Bhatti drew the hairline on my recipient area and actually changed the design to implant further forward in front of my left temple point, saying he was making it symmetrical. What’s odd is that, although the left temple point was implanted further forward in front of native hair, he didn’t use more grafts on that side than the other. So unless I keep the sides really long, the left temple point will look obvious.

See that? He should have implanted with enough density, or not brought the left temple so far forward. Even if every single one of the grafts grows in, it won’t even be 20% of my native density in front of the left temple point. What sheer idiocy.

The right temple point doesn’t look good but it’s not obvious.

And by the way I’m getting it all reversed. The placement of the grafts, the sparseness, the patchy scarring in the donor area, are unacceptable. The grafts are pretty much all growing, and it is obviously too sparse. I only have two choices: go for another hair transplant and tap out my donor supply, or get it reversed. Dr Bhatti left me with no choice. I’ve already consulted top docs and it’s going to cost like 20-40k.

Thats how they usually do the temple peaks for indians... doesnt look bad imo

wow!! nice to see such a nice soft hairline

at this point all you can do is get good opinions of your graft count, alot of clinics lie about grafts numbers bc its really hard to tell, to me it looks somwhere around 2000 grafts but I could def be wrong

this is def one of the best results on this site!

I think hes a very good choice considerig theres only so many FUE docs in the states but I dont want you making your decision based on my opinion, your going to need to do your own research and this site is the best place to start.

If you need a small procedure like that than your good ( under 2k grafts)  I was reffering to higher norwoods that need lots of work.

I like Varonas work seems very nice and dedicated also uses such a small punch making the recovery process much easier the only thing is he needs lots grafts to cover smaller areas.. So does Dr Buabac and many other top docs

Im 40 days post op an FUE surgery, This morning I noticed little blood on my pillow also a couple weeks ago had little blood on pillow. Not sure if this is normal

very good result!!

since money is not much of an issue for you id offer to pay more and have the doctor more involved in the surgery, Im pretty sure they offer such low prices bc techs do most of the work.

I agree Farsan, was trying to figure that out myself

happy things worked out well for you, although I chose a different doc I still get amazed on how hes able to creat such natrually looking hair lines, I love watching his videos every friday, If you watch his last youtube vid he created a dent like patern on the left side of his clients hairline which blew me away!! Looked super natrual

they got good results on insagram but dont know much about them.

Of course there is a few good docs on here located in the U.S. my point is they are such a minority, I seen way to many people get surgery done only to have very minimal growth 12 months later

Edit

I was on Fin/Propecia for a receding hairline only than about a year afterwords while on it I noticed my crown starting thinning, It def does not work for everyone

Melvin:

How long did you wait to get back in the gym after your fue surgeries?

I been sitting around the house for over 2 weeks now... would really like to get back to getting active but dont want to chance anything

when do you guys think is a good time to start hitting the gym lightly? 2 weeks long enough?

Harry did you do anything for your new hair after the 2 weeks post op? water it, conditioner, aloe etc

what about chest hair?? is it almost as good as beard hair or how much less likely is it to grow?

Using beard hair as a donor source has not been around that long so its longevity has not been tested.

But there are no reasons for doubting it to my knowledge.

IMHO, the real issues are visual compatibility and optimal yield as compared to scalp donor.

You choose a good place, they seem very dedicated and hungry to show what they can do since they joined this site, so you should be in good hands.

Nice work doc!!

Can having (pain and inflamtion) effect the growth on hair transplant

Looks 10 years youger... very nice hairline and temple work!
