I do not expect anyone to believe me and rightfully so.... I had a horrible experience with Dr. Bhati. I am updating this honestly because I forgot and was so upset at the time. Long story short he mislead me on the thickness of the results, the amount extracted, and even the location of the transplants, all this after my surgery was rushed over 1 day because he forgot about me the first day I was there. If anyone really cares I will go in depth, but I understand my credibility is questionable since I waited this long to follow up.

UPDATE.... Here in india, my procedure is tomorrow originally scheduled for 1200 grafts, but looks like only 800 will be available to extract after the test. I will keep everyone up to date about my total experience with Dr. Bhatti. Thanks!

I will be moving forward with Dr. Bhatti, I will keep everyone updated on my journey for those who care. Thus far I have had video consultation with him, and he has made me aware there is a 40% chance I will not be a candidate.

Yeah to be honest the bald look is something I don't want to do, nor scalp tattoos. And can we define short hair.... By short I am referring to slightly longer than what you see in the pictures where I am not losing my hair. Is that still to short? And if I am understanding correctly.... I am wasting my time & money if I do not take finasteride after a procedure?

SMP? It wouldn't be this short, but slightly longer. Scarring is that big of a concern long term?

So my main goal for this post is to get some feedback as I embark on my journey... I'll start with some background info on me.... I am a 28 year old african-American. I first noticed I was losing my hair when I was 23. I have used propecia in the past and I hated it. I experienced all the sexual side effects as well as some emotional side effects as well. Overall I hated my mood and my libdo on it. I was on it for 6 months and hopping back on it at any point really is not an option to me. Otherwise medication has been limited to rogaine and biotin. I've decided FUE is probably best for me since I like to wear my hair short. Ive been doing a lot of reading here and I think Dr. Bahatti seems like a good choice. I am willing to travel anywhere as long as the price for the procedure is reasonable and the doctor has experience with AA hair. Questions..... From my photos is it to soon for FUE? How many grafts do you think? Is it a waste to get a HT if i won't be using propecia afterwards? Anything else I should take note? Any other doctors you'd recommend? How important is punch size given my type of hair? Thanks
