Mr.Nk

Hey everyone !! Well the golden time is over which everyone kept telling this last year that 'wait for 14 months .. a miracle will happen' ... well i guess the pics speak for itself !! i had a terrible last year and now iv decided im just gonna accept this growth and move on with my life ..start getting worried about other stuff rather than staring at the mirror .. looking for any new black spot on my scalp ..! stop getting depressed that iv wasted my money for this !! still sometimes do think if they can atleast return 50% of my amount .. lol i havent seen my doctor for the last 6 months and neither they have approached me .. so i guess this case is nicely handled Not a single person in this last year noticed that i got hair transplant and atleast 50 ppl told me to get a transplant .. lol .. these 50 ppl dont know what iv already been thru well guys thanks for the support last year .. it was a great experience sharing my sad stories here .. it really helped me pass this one year !! if anyone goes thru this horrible experience of necrosis and funny growth .. you can always contact me thru email .. ill be happy to help anyone thru this time !! i have all the best of wishes for Mr.Humayun Mohmand and i really pray from my heart that no one goes through experiences like mine !! wishing you all the best of wishes with your transplant !! Mr.Nk case is officially closed !!

Hey everyone !! yeah i did vanished fer few months and was not posting but actually i was waiting for a year to complete !! well now 13 months have been completed and ill be taking new pics today and then lets see if there are any changes !!

well after reading everyone's comments i have surely decided to wait for 12-14 months .. but as on today its been almost nine months and i just took some pics but there is absolutely no change in the last 20 days !! i remember when i had necrosis doc kept telling me to wait for another 2 weeks everytime i use to visit him ... this went on and on for 4 months until he finally did the small procedure and it was over and healed in 5 days !! so im pretty use to this 'wait and see' thing .. so i guess ill just wait and see for another 3 months ... before i decide to go for another HT ... cuz this looks so horrible in normal day/sun light that i have no other choice ... i really dont wanna have a strip surgery again cuz of the experience and large area which is still numb... i really was thinking if i can get a FUE to do the repair ... cuz somehow that looks somewhat less traumatic !! i wont be able to to go thru the same procedure again .. as flashes of HT journey still haunts me .. !! im not sure if Dr.Mohmand offers a FUE cuz all of his patients undergo the strip method .. and also .. on my consultation day doc's hair consultant who examined me (Shahid) didnt mentioned the option either ... Also wanted to ask what is the policy of different clinics on returning the money if there is a failure ... i havent talked to my doc about this but do clinics offer this ??

Thanks Future_HT_Doc for the kind offer but i guess there is nothing better to do than to wait for 12 months .. i guess my next update will be after 2 months now .. and megatron i know almost everyone requires a second pass but considering the experience in the first .. who knows if the second one will be smooth as anything .. there is a fear embedded in my head of going thru the same all over again !! and RCWest ..Dr.Humayun Mohmand did surgery with 2700-3000 grafts! my big no growth area (necrotic) turns tomato red when i take a bath or play outdoor sports ... but today ill again check if the spots turn more red or get bigger after a bath ...

8 months and 10 days to be exact ! well till now not a single person has noticed about my hair transplant .. lol .. i wont blame them either ! .. i have noticed red spots on my scalp this month(last pic) .. there are not like those which i got before when the hair were popping out in the 4-6 months .. i hope i dont have some new problem coming first there was necrosis ... then my surgical procedure to fix that .. then bad hair growth ... and now some new infection? ... i dont think i have the courage left to go thru another HT ... .... is this heading towards a complete failure ? or is it already one ?

thanks wb280 ... ill do that as soon as i get the time ...

im gonna wait for 2-3 more months hoping something is gonna change and look somewhat presentable .. ill book an appointment with Dr.Humayun after 15 days when my 8 months are completed ...

... 7.5 months ... just wanted to update pics .. nothing much to say

yeah i know 6 months is too early to conclude anything ... well tomorrow my 7 months will be completed .. and ill be posting new pics as soon as i take them this week.

Sir i have complete faith in you and in your work !! and i know how much u really do care for the patients and im 100% satisfied with the co-operation of your clinic! PLEASE do not think that im complaining about your work .. i fully understand all the things that mite be delaying the growth ! i update my entries every month on this forum as i receive emails from ppl to do so .. i still think i have small hair growing .. so im very hopeful that ill have good result by the end of 8-9th month .. i dont have hair in the necrotic area but im hopeful that the rest will cover that area! Thanks a lot for taking time and writing ..

yeah i can still feel a lot of small hair on my scalp ... i hope when they'll grow then it will look better !! ive seen a case on doc forum site .. his name is mayur? .. his growth in 6 month was really not good .. but i think 7th month started nice for him .. so i guess i have to wait a bit more .. but ill be posting every months progress here ..

yeah i guess cuz of the necrosis there are some no growth areas and it just adds to the emptiness even more !! i know i mustve lost a lot of grafts cuz of necrosis and then the small procedure to repair it ! my assistant at work paid a quarter of amount to a different local surgeon compared to what i have paid and my hair growth is just a quarter to what he has now But yes ill wait for 8-10 months cuz i can still feel some small hair growing .. i really hope all is well in the end ! thanks ur replies just gave me hope for 3 more months !

well here i am reaching the 6 month mark .. i guess 2 more months till the final result !! i really hope things start to change now .. till now not a single person has noticed any change .. and still known as the 'bald one' among friends .. !! been thru a tough transplant journey so far .. still hoping a good 7th and 8th month !

and do i have normal looking hair growth considering 4.5 months ?

First of all thanks to everyone here who supported me on everyday basis .. this forum really helped a lot throughout this necrosis journey !! i think otherwise these last months would've been really tough .. As for my no growth area .. Dr.Humayun has been saying from the first day that his patients are all his responsibility from day one and yes he told me that he will take care of this area ! im very impressed from his professionalism and ive also learnt a lot as a person from him ! ill wait for my final results and if this area is nicely covered with the rest of the hair then i dont think ill go for another surgery ! ill wait for complete 8 months !!

very small linear scar .. which he said will almost disappear completely in coming month ! its just that there are no hair around it so this area gets a bit obvious !

Hey Everyone, Finally im free of necrosis !!! Dr Humayun removed the area about a month ago and after 7days he removed the stitches !! Everything was performed by Dr.Humayun from anesthesia to stitches removal ! i dont know how much time it would've taken to heal on its own but im glad he did the surgery and now im on my normal hair transplant journey !! There is minimum scarring and i think he did a great job .. it was a less than 10 min procedure ! Im uploading today's picture ... not a great quality but ill upload a new high res soon ... dunno im still hoping that i get hair growth in this area !! and what about rest of the area .. 4.5 months .. ?? Thanks

im just coming back from my appointment with Dr.Humayun .. he examined it and told me that this is hyper-granulation tissue.. which is bulging out of the skin ! and which is causing the delayed healing !! He has now planned a minor surgery under local anaesthesia on Tuesday, in which he will remove the granulation tissue and stitch both ends,approximating healthy skin! There are no signs of infection and hopefully ill heal within a week if all things go well !!

i took a shower last nite and the scab came off i think 7-8th time in the last 4 months ... there is still granulation tissue under and its pink in color. i received a call from Dr.Humayun clinic today , i have a appointment with him tomorrow so lets see what he has to say after looking at this ! so no idea right now if he will give any treatment options or let it heal on its own ! i will ask him about silver nitrate and mrsa and will consider a derma consult after that .. and i would also like to thank Bill personally thru this forum ... trust me this is a great help and the only thing i turn to when i see my necrosis area not healing.Its a great support to the patients, God Bless you Bill !! Thanks

i met Dr.Humayun in the mid of march and he said its fine ... and i really dont wanna bother him again and again after every 15-20 days .. i know this thing is not infected as it is not showing any signs of it .. this is granulation tissue and it takes time but i dont know how much more time its gonna take !! he told me that he had another patient like this but it was twice the size as mine and it took him 4-5 months to heal so i was just hoping this shouldv gone by now .. so thats why i didnt see a dermatologist ..

its been 3.5 months and im still undergoing healing process !! My doc said it will disappear by the end of march .. but i dont see this healing even by the end of April !! 1st picture shows areas of no hair growth and second one is the latest as of today ! just hoping the rest of the hair covers this area soon ... as the hair are growing now n its covering the area of no growth ! not at all excited about the hair growth as everyone gets in the 4rth month ..i just wanna heal .. can any doctor here tell by the pic how long do i have to wait more ??

Romeono1 being a doctor i have researched for more than 6 months before i went to Dr.Humayun !! So i have no complains with the Doctor .. he is a great human being and a great surgeon !! and im meeting him every month for a check up and he is giving me more time on every appointment than i think i usually require for a normal check up Im replying to the post u have started about the "quality of Technicians" not the standards of my doctor !! So this goes to all the surgeons and techs working around the world !! Im not here as a doctor on this forum but as a normal hair transplant patient !! So i dont regret my decision at all and i still have all the faith in my doctor and in my results !! and yes it was my mistake that i didnt inquire about who will inject the anesthesia ! .. as i thought obviously the doctor performs it ?? !!

Romeono1 i have to say a Great post !! i came on this forum after a month i think and i was really surprised to read this post ! This is something which was always there in the back of my mind but i dont know sometimes u never ask these questions loud !! I developed a necrotic area .. and its been 3.5 months now since my surgery and im still waiting for the wound to heal !! ive been told by other doctors that this mite have occurred due to the anesthetic solution .. and all i remember is my doctor was Not supervising the technicians when they were injecting it (not even in the room) Even at that time i was wondering what sort of qualifications and degrees they have to do all the procedure !!?? which hospital do they go to for training ? which test they pass ?? or is it just watch.. learn and do later qualification ! NO matter how experienced u are but u need to know the human anatomy atleast about the area ur dealing with ! the arterial and venous system .. the nerve supply .. pharmacology of the drug in ur hand ..cross infections and so so on ... i have suffered a lot in the last 3-4 months .. still am .. and i guess ill never know what really caused this ... i hope and wish you with the best of results and health !! take care and thanks ...

well so far there are only assumptions what could be the reason but i guess this is something which can potentially happen to anyone .. im understanding now that any sort of surgery can lead to poor circulation resulting in necrosis ! im just concerned now about its healing .. its just taking too long now .. another interesting thing ive noticed is a big dent ... attaching a picture ...

Hello everyone ! Its been almost a month since i updated my pics and now i am uploading a mini collage of my necrosis ! Ive been visiting my surgeon regularly and he is kind enough to give me 20-30 min briefing every time i visit ! He is saying that by the end of this month this will completely heal ! i hope this post brings some knowledge,suggestions and benefits to many in future !
