Hi Spanker, Thanks for the comment. I do think that all the grafts that were implanted didnt grew especially the frontline and nearby area (photos below). I am trying to understand what could be the reason: On the day of the surgery Dr. told that i have one of the better quality donor hair he has seen for a long time, for the matter of fact he mentioned to all the other patients that day about quality of hair. So, quality of hair was never a problem. Secondly, I have religiously followed all the medicines. So, I am in bit of dilemma about what could be reason for poor hair growth that could be avoided in the future. I have been consulting few Dr. locally and they say (it looks like 2500 - 2700 grafts) 1) probably there might be a technical fault in the surgery which destroyed few grafts. 2) As I had a mega session, amount of time grafts were out of body was long and few grafts didnt survive. So, still looking for options how this can be avoided. Direct Hair Transplant (DHT) could be one of the way in which amount of time grafts out of body can be reduced. What are your thoughts about DHT does it has better success rate that FUE? There is lot of confusion and nervousness as of now, to get the next one right. I completely respect and like Dr. Bhatti, but still cant shy away from the though (scaring me) of going again to him is the right decision? shall I go for DHT? Also, I am just planning to work on my front and midscalp (have a fuller look), how may grafts do you thing I need more? Thanks Vik

HT with Dr. Tejinder Bhatti, 848 grafts - 30th october 2016
vik757 replied to Hairhoho's topic in Hair Transplant Reviews
Hi Hairhoho, Did you check with Dr. how many grafts are implanted per/sqcm. Cheers V -
Hi Mate, Not any major improvement, I will post my pictures soon. I had a word with Dr. Bhatti and he agree that result is not as expected. He was expecting good result as I have good quality donor hair. I have scheduled for December 2nd week. Don't know number of grafts yet, will have a word with Dr bhatti in couple of weeks. But as per other doctors I need atleast 2000 - 2500 grafts for good density. Any opinions welcome Cheers V

Hi All, Another quick update, i am referring my case to few Dr. locally and online just to understand what could be the reason for poor density, below are the findings as per doctor's i met: All Dr. I met told me its very difficult to pin point what could be the exact reason, but generally it could be one of below: 1) Not using any medication after hair transplant (finasteride 1mg, Minoxidil) can result into poor density or slow growth (I was using medication, so option number 1 - Not applicable) 2) one of the Dr. told me if you have thyroid problem it can result into poor growth. (Not applicable to me) 3) Another Dr. told me that doing high number of grafts (3800 for me) in one sitting could be the reason for poor growth. Higher the time grafts are outside the body higher are the chances of it getting damaged. (applicable) Please add to the list above if you can think of anything else. I am currently on 10 month mark and I am patiently waiting another couple of months for and further growth. Fingers crossed. Cheers V

Completely agree with you, its disheartening especially when you wait a complete one year just to realize that you need another one. I had a word with Dr. Bhatti about shall I consider another Dr. for my second one, but he sounds pretty confident that we can rectify this. However, we are still trying to figure out what was the reason for poor density. Cheers V

Firstly, i am very curious to understand what is the reason if this HT becomes a failure. as I am bit worried if the same thing happens again As per my discussion with various doctors there can be only two: 1) grafts were overselled i.e. less were implanted and more were charged for - that seems unlikely. 2) grafts were damaged while doing the procedure. Secondly, you are right mosd I shouldn't settle for discount, as not only i lost my grafts, there is so many other things that is needed to get the procedure done travel cost,3 weeks of down time and most importantly we spend the entire year waiting for the result. I am still waiting another couple of month before making any decision. Cheers V

Dr says: Result is still not as expected, perhaps it is taking time as sometime it does so wait another 3 months. Dr. as usual was very kind and said "Its completely my responsibility and will do whatever it takes to make you happy." So, that was really supportive and encouraging of Dr. But, I am still trying to figure out the cause of why all grafts are not sprouted. Is there anyone out there who started the growth between 9 to 15 months that is question? probably I should start a new thread to get opinions.

Thanks Dutchie, I have couple of questions here: Does this look like all 3800 grafts sprouted? if not what could be the possible reason for this as I thought if good quality donor hair are transplanted it should grow. Also,What you think is a good time to make a decision about second transplant, I am guessing 12-13 months? your thoughts? I have send photographs to the doctor and waiting for his reply. Thanks V

Hi All, I have hit the 9 month mark, attached my photos in the link below. (photos are taken in the garden area at around 4 pm) To be honest its still not much of the improvement. hair are looking thin with gaps. Please have a look and give me your feedback about what do you feel.

Hi Martian, did you try to figure out what was the reason of transplanted hair with Dr Kapil Dua didn't grow, was it that, not all the extracted hair were not implanted, or was poor selection of donor grafts or something else. As per my consultation with various doctor, if a good quality donor hair is transplanted it will grow your body can't reject your own hair. All I am saying its important to know the reason. So that you don't face the same issue again. Cheers Vik- 17 replies
