TR3B, yes they took the liquids (4 saline bottles) and the syringes. (Bhatti likes to use sterile syringes to pierce the saline bottles caps. This makes a good stream for wetting/washing the grafts and I guess it doesn't use up all the saline in one shot.) Its funny because in Chandigarh and Delhi the carry-on passed all scanners and inspections without a problem this was in AbuDhabi. And yes I showed them the Dr notes. It all turned out good through. My last leg was Abu Dhabi to JFK. Well I missed that flight due to delays from Delhi. That put in a hotel in Abu Dhabi for the night. Not sure if I would ever see my luggage again if it was checked lol.

Dr Bahtti lays it all out in a YouTube video. I left his office with a darling buds bookbag loaded with meds, ointments, gauzes, saline, syringes.... For whoever goes to darling buds don't be an idiot like me and forget to check said bag. The look on security's face was priceless.

Eddie I've had 2 FUT and always shed most if not all hairs. 30 days ago I had my first FUE with Dr Bhatti and I don't believe a single hair has fallen out. Not sure if this was something to do with FUE or with his post care regimen. (His post care course is like a part time job but its obviously effective and I wish I put half of the effort into my past FUTs.)

My first FUT was a regular old closure by a mediocre dr not in the coalition and it ended up looking okay. My second FUT was a trichophytic closure done by great dr and I ended up with a 1 cm scar. The reason being was post op care and infections. I'm interested in having another done only next time I'm going to treat the sutures like a new born baby and not a punching bag.

Looking good Niko. It looks as though you went from 50% to 90% in 2 months. Congrats.

Hey cheetoman, I see no one helped you out. I hope you're still around. The thickest part of my scar measures 1cm as well. The rest is probably around 0.5-.07cm. Unfortunately this is post scar revision. I had a very competent doctor perform the FUT then the revision, but I just didn't heal well. I believe my results were mostly self-inflicted. I just didn't care for my sutures post ops like I should've. My biggest problem was infection. I didn't refrain from normal activities long enough. I will even mention the stuff I did out of shame. Maybe I will who knows. This was 6-7 years ago. I was also worried about more surgery (and finance). But I realized its too late for that. The damage is done now I have to do everything I can to fix things. Even if that means going under the blade again. Which I did 10 days ago. I had an FUE from scalp and beard. This was not for scar work but for crown. The donor area is healing up real nicely. Under the chin is still a little red/pinkish, but that will fade. Next is another scar revision. There is no way I'm going through the rest of my life with that giant strip of skin. I will try once again and have it removed. Only this time I will be the perfect patient post ops. Once thats healed I will think about another FUE and or SMP for the scar.

This thread was going great. Great results for Hariri with a tons of information. I hope he continues to post.

I'm having some major problems myself. I just started taking 1mg every day and all of sudden my core temperature has dropped. I've alway been a steady 98.7deg and haven't been sick in years. Now I'm shivering in a room thats set to 85deg with a core temp of 97deg.

hey husqvarnawrk, Just had my FUE this past saturday with Dr Bhatti. I also did a crown fill with some hairline as well. I will make a thread about this soon. Good luck with growth, keep us posted.

Very good progress GaelicDawn congrats. Im hoping to see more pictures in the coming months. One question and I appologize if you've mentioned this already, but did you have any facial swelling after the procedure? Its something thats normal with FUTs but Im not sure with FUEs thx

Keep us posted trinath, I'm very interested in your results. Thanks

Lets not forget the original one and only Telly Savales.

Looks like you're on your way to a full head of hair. Are you going to post pictures of your last two HTs? I envy your attitude about never looking back.

Wouldn't the extra weight of the long hair be a problem or less than ideal for a freshly place follicle ?

Hey bishal, IMO, If you go with a strip you might not be able to keep your hair so short. I think the scar would show through. If you like your hair short go with FUEs otherwise if I were you I would let my hair grow a bit and get a strip.
