It has been 15 days since my HT procedure and time for another update. Donor area has healed pretty well and I dont experience any pain or discomfort. Crusts have washed out, and hairs look more natural now.

Wwiizzkkiidd24 and Shera, Thanks for your votes of confidence. I am keeping my fingers crossed and trusting Dr Bhatti's wisdom and expertise.

In that case, I am hoping for the best.

Hi Johnny, Thanks for your feedback. I had talked to Dr Bhatti before the procedure about the density and he told me that with this much grafts, density should be good and I dont need more grafts this time. But I too feel this looks little sparse, at least at this moment.

Scabs are falling out slowly. some of the transplanted hair were also coming along with scabs. I guess that should be normal. Any thoughts?

Hey Guys, I am 30 yrs old and have been losing my hair since I was 24. This year I decided to go for FUE HT and after months of research I chose Dr Bhatti for the procedure. I was Norwood V and over skype consultation Dr Bhatti advised me that I would need ~4000 grafts for the procedure. I flew to India from SF on August 30 and had pre surgery consultation with Dr Bhatti on Sept 1 in his Chandigarh clinic, Darling buds. After examining my degree of baldness he advised me that I would need ~3700 grafts (3200 donor grafts from back of my head and 500 beard grafts). On the next day, Sept 2, my HT procedure started at 8AM and went for 8 hours. The procedure was very smooth and I did not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure. Only mild pain I felt was when Dr Bhatti was giving anesthesia Dr Bhatti harvested total 3335 grafts with following grafts breakup: 3027 scalp grafts: 782 - Singles, 1326 - Doubles, and 919 - Triples 308 beard grafts. During the procedure - anesthesia administration, grafts harvesting, and slit making were performed by Dr Bhatti and plantation of grafts was done by his team. Overall I am satisfied with my experience so far. Dr Bhatti and his team were very professional and they made me feel like home during procedure. Once the procedure was done I was given some medicine and saline water for the night. Next day I went to the clinic for hair wash where Dr Bhatti's team taught me how to do hair wash at home and gave the prescriptions for next 6 months. First few days were very important so I had to sleep on a recliner chair for next few night to avoid any accidental damage to transplanted hairs and reduce the swelling. After 5 days post procedure I started going office and I did not feel any discomfort. It has been 12 days since my procedure and I am going to post some pics here to track my progress. Please feel free to provide your feedback/thoughts on the progress. Just before and after the procedure:
