Dear all.. I've discussed this matter with my doctor. He said its nothing but seasonal. He recommended Ketoconazole 2% shampoo once/twice in a week to prevent dandruff. I regularly use finasteride, biotin and folic acid tab at night. And use Seven Seas cod liver oil (Omega 3 oil) capsule with afternoon lunch. The redness is nothing but the color of that photograph. Here is my previous pic - taken one year ago. I have experienced the same but semi seasonal shed 8 months ago. I'm 43 now.

Hi Kiran,

You could try using Nizoral shampoo twice a week and see how you get on with that.

This should clear up the dandruff and then we can address whether this was causing the hair loss.

Actually, does dandruff affect transplanted hairs? If I could control drandruff, can lost hair grow back????

I'm experiencing some transplanted hair loss at the center to left forehead, after 2 years of my hair transplant!!! Any similar experienced persons here? I've dandruff, is that the problem of this hair loss? Please advise.

Sorry for the belated reply. It costs INR 99 for scalp grafts and INR 149 for body grafts (or beard)

Very impressive! It's hard to believe how far you've come already. What is the plan for the next procedure?

I am going to cover the same area again for much denser look. What are your suggestions? I am going to ignore crown region.

Thank you Sera for your nice words..

Thank you Myrapochu for your nice words.. See you all after the 2nd session. I hope to transplant the same areas again for more dense look.

Hello, I got good result. Now it is 10th month post surgery. Attaching some photographs here.. See..

(Planning for 2nd HT within a month)

Dear Chris, You're true. I'll try to discuss this issue with Dr. Bhatti once again. Thank you very much for such a great suggestion.

Thank you Chris. I have to resign my job and relocate to my native place after 15 months. I have to complete my HTs before this period. Natives are not aware of my HT That's the main reason.

Thank you wibbles for your kind support and suggestion.

Dr. Bhatti said so. He said if I have a plan for 2nd session, it would be better to take around 3000 at first session. He said my donor area is not much impressive. He also said that it would be easy to assess the donor area at the 2nd session. That might be the reason. Dr said 2nd session can be done after 6 months. The result will be visible within this period. I didn't discuss about the graft numbers for the 2nd session.

Now, what do you think? Could I fill the blank area in the frontal region again if needed at the 2nd session? I will discuss this with Dr. Bhatti too. I already asked his nursing staff after the surgery, they replied that this will be nice after the full result.

Dear Wibbles,

Worry is natural and it is always there

My mail content was same (widely spaced) which you have written here ! Anyhow, I have 2nd session after 6 months for my crown area. If any density problem at my hairline area, I'll try to fill again then. Is that possible?

Hi Wibbles,

The link you mentioned above is simply great. What an awesome result he has achieved, highly impressive.

Dr. Bhatti said me that it will be fine after 1 year. He didn't mention about the numbers of grafts allocated each place. I already mailed him my curiosity and waiting for his reply.

Hello wibbles 180,

I don't know about the allocation number of grafts. What do you guess from my photos? Please..

Hello Everyone,

I would like to share with you my hair transplant story with Dr. Tejinder Bhatti.

My planted graft count is given below :

Singles : 223

Doubles : 1205

Triples : 998

Beard : 853

Total 3279 grafts.

I’m a 39 years old Indian male working abroad. Started losing hair at my front and top area around 10 years ago.Crown area is also playing with my emotions now a days! I used Minoxidil 2-3 months when I was 29 and stopped because of extreme skin dryness.

I used hair patch but disappointed and threw it out because of its irritation, sweat etc. I have started looking for other solutions. Started following different HT surgeons worldwide – from Dubai to Turkey and from US to Europe. After wandering around different HT related websites and articles, doing a lot of research for more than a year, I finally got my HT done on 11th November 2016 by a state of art expertise Dr. Tejinder Bhatti at Darling Buds, Chandigarh, India. And waiting for the 2nd session for my crown area - after 6 months.

I dropped a mail to Dr. Bhatti around 1 year ago. He responded asking for some pics of my head. After seeing them, he estimated that I’d need around 4000 grafts that would look dense. I demanded for good densely packed scalp. For the next all months, I mailed him with questions and he responded to every single one of them.

After I expressed my interest in getting the procedure done at Darling Buds, they offered me a date and I made an advance payment to block the date. Dr. Bhatti sent me a pre-OP instruction manual.The clinic reserved a room for me at ABs hotel, Chandigarh and offered a villa at very reasonable rate at a hill station for post HT care. I have booked 20 days there. I arrived on the 10th afternoon at 2 pm, picked up by the clinic driver Mr. Subash, a very polite gentleman and transported to the Abs hotel.Please note that you will get very attractive discount if you are Darling Buds client.

After one hour Mr. Subash picked me to the clinic. In the afternoon, I met Dr. Bhatti at his clinic for consultation; he checked my head, donor area density etc. I was told that around 3000 grafts can extract from both back scalp and beard area. He drew my hairline and asked me if I was okay with it. Actually I was not okay with that hairline because of my high expectations. Dr. Bhatti said me to think about it whole night until next day. I took a snap of my hairline sketch and sent to my wife; she said it was very fine. I had a discussion with Bhatti’s manager Miss Shalini and counselor Miss Manpreet. Both of them said me that it was very fine hairline that suits to the shape of my face. Manpreet’s opinion and views were much friendly and close to heart. At last I decided to proceed with Bhatti’s hairline – after all he is an expert doctor. My blood sample was collected for some tests and I was given some medicines which were to be taken that night. I was asked to have a light breakfast and be ready at 7.00 AM for the pickup from the hotel.

Once I reached the clinic, I was given blue colored surgery clothes. I got a chance to review the hairline again and then my hair was trimmed by Dr. Bhatti. After some injections the doctor proceeded to harvest my grafts from the donor area. Anesthesia injections were made on the donor area of the scalp. The harvesting machine drilled into my numb scalp and the doctor extracted the grafts – which were completely painless. During the harvesting, we discussed some social issues and this really helped to relax. Placement of the grafts was done by his staff, a total of 4 nurses – Deepika, Shalini and I forgot other names. We discussed some bollywood songs during that procedure. Their commitment to work was admirable.

My operation took around 7-8 hours, from 7 am till 3 pm. Total 3279 grafts were planted in which 223 singles,1205 doubles, 998 triples and beard 853. My donor area was bandaged and I was given yummy Pizza and juice - lunch preference was noted before the surgery started. Next day, I went to the clinic to remove the bandage and scalp wash. There I got some tablets, antiseptic spray, saline bottles, after care booklet etc. Shalini explained each and every thing regarding after care of my planted and donor areas. Shalini was really understanding and very much supportive. Next day the clinic driver Mr. Chanchal Singh (very good gentleman) took me to the full-fledged villa. My wife arrived on 7th day post HT. She has taken care of my scalp care. Together we enjoyed very much because the villa and weather were fantastic.

On my 13th day post HT, Dr. Bhatti sent me a mail that I can touch the planted area to wash out crusts. He told me to go under shower. I had a wash with slight finger pats to remove crusts from the transplanted area and all crusts have fallen off by then. Dr. Bhatti recommended Finastride tablets, Biotin tablets and Monoxidil with Hydrolysed Keratin content for 6 months. Dr. Bhatti arranged 6 months supply for me and sent it through his driver.

We stayed 20 days in Bhatti’s superior villa. As of my experience so far I’m quite happy with the surgery and the treatment I had at the clinic and stay at the villa. Still we miss that villa and hill station. I would like to go for a 2nd session after 6 months for my crown area.

I hope you guys find this post helpful and will try to keep you updated on monthly basis or so. See the attachment photos, note down your opinion and views about the result I am awaiting. What do you think of my final result dears? Will it come out as a densely packed scalp?

i use caboki and i find it better than toppik and nanogen. It's more natural and does not contain ammonia. Buying it directly through the caboki website is cheaper, sometimes close to $10 cheaper as you can build up reward points. Especially when you do a subscription. Not sure if caboki ships internationally through their website.

thank you. Nanogen also says same.

I use Toppik and find it to be very good. Makes a great cosmetic difference regarding density. There is an art to putting it on and getting the amount right, to avoid it clumping together, or sitting on the scalp. I don't use the sealing spray.

THANK YOU DOLPH.

I decided to buy Nanogen. The main attraction is that I can buy it from India, my country.

How soon after a hair transplant can you use the fibers? Can you put them on the transplanted hairs after a few days and go back to work? Does anybody know if the fibers would cause more inflamation on the scalp?

-- No I don't mean to use soon after HT.

Thanks a lot dear friend.

Kiran I was a huge fan of hair fibers as a concealer because they work so well, but have stopped using hair fibers due to serious concerns over breathing the fibers on a daily basis.

Which brand do you like most ? And what about locking spray? Is spray an essential with concealer ?

Toppik and Nanogen

Thank you dear

Breathing problem? Really?

What about my other question about Spray ?

Hello friends,

After HT surgery and its complete recovery, I would like to use some hair building fibers at some areas only.

Which hair building fiber is best to use ? I prefer Caboki or Gofybr because I really impressed from the Pics and Videos from their website. I have some doubts, experienced users please do reply.

(1). If I use Caboki without ''Volume Control Mist'' spray, does it work very perfectly ? Is spray an essential thing with Caboki ?

(2). Does any side effect occur from any chemical ingredient in ''Volume Control Mist'' spray or Caboki product? Any scientific reviews ? Especially from Volume Control Mist'' spray.

(3). IMPORTANTLY, Caboki is available in Amazon.India also. (I'm from India). What do you suggest ? Is it better to buy directly from Caboki website? Or any genuine product problem in Amazon ? Because the price shows less in Amazon India.

Please Help.

Thank you,

Kiran Jain
