pocrockets

@Shera  @CaliforniaI tried reaching the Doc regarding those tiny bumps. I didn't get any response. Can you help me find out.

Also, what do u think of the growth after 14 months.

I tried to magnify.

After Haircut pics

My only question is, why do I still have noticeable bumps in the recipient area, on the top and to the sides.

Is it cobblestoning?

I wanted to give good amount of time before posting pic of the results.

It's been 14 months now. Posting pictures after and before haircut.

Not sure whether to be happy or not. Though I kept my expectations in check, so far I didn't see any major growth. Will post pics soon.

Good luck to you. From my early research and experience so far, I can tell you that you picked the right doc.

Just wanted to add some pre-op pics

Donor area has recovered well and no pain. Recipient area has some pustules once in a while.

I feel that growth has been slow compared to my pre-op pics.

will update soon

Yes to fin and biotin.

Also minoxidil everyday.

still...in progress.

First 2 pics - Before hair cut

Rest - After hair cut

My donor area is all good. no itching or pain. Recipient area is little numb but looks like it is expected. no itching or pain but in the last 2 weeks, I have seen couple of pustules.

Thanks much!!! hope you are having a good recovery and results

Scabs are gone. Little more pressure rub from day 14 to remove the scabs.

Alternate day baby shampoo wash with 2% Minox + Biotin and 1mg Propecia.

Day 2

Its been good so far. Little numb but not much pain.

I even went for PRP treatment

Thanks much for the advice.

I haven't been to pharmacy yet but planning to go tomorrow. Glad to know that the procedure went fine like yours.

Thanks itxrd.

Final Count - 2378.

Just got done and below are the first set of pics. I will post more clear pics but these might give an idea of how it went through.

All,

Thanks to all who helped me with their feedback and even by sharing their experiences.

I have scheduled my procedure with Dr. Bhatti on Dec 7 2017, which is tomorrow. I'm anxious but excited at the same time.

As you all know, I communicated with lots of Doc's and there was a separate thread on that

After carefully reviewing their recommendations, I have decided to go with Dr. Bhatti. Thanks to Shera and David for their timely and valuable support.

Day -1

I flew on 5th to India and 6th to Chandigarh, Dr,Bhatti's driver picked me up from the airport and took us to the clinic where all the formalities before the procedure are taken care. I had my consultation with the doc. We worked on the hairline and revisited the grafts recommendation. It would be somewhere around 2200-2500.

Day 0

Its almost 3:30 am here and waiting to be picked up by the driver at 6:30...I will keep you guys updated....

Thanks all again.

Is Dr Kaan Pekiner recommended here?

I haven't seen FUE work of Rahal and Hasson . Do they perform FUE HT.

Based on the results in the recent years, who has produced good/decent looking frontal hairlines.

Can you guys please suggest few?

Thanks Shera. Forgot to mention that, I use hair fibers to cover the mid/top scalp. But reached a point where the front hairline became too thin to conceal hair fiber look.

Thanks much again.

Thanks mattj. I really appreciate your suggestion.

I have been following this forum for the last 2 months and thanks to all moderators, all the users who had HT done and also to all the prospective users who want HT like me for their valuable advice.

After following all the results, reviews and reaching out to doctors, I have decided to go with HT soon. Like every prospective patient, I'm in search of a right doctor.

I do understand that successful results of old patients, experience of the doctor and price/graft(can't deny that) are the main deciding factors.

I have consulted the below doctors and they got back to me with below recommendation.

Dr Koray Erdogan - 4500-5000 grafts, for frontal, mid scalp and vertex area

Dr Demirsoy - 3000 -3500 grafts to the sparse and bald areas.The Hair line should'nt be lowered too much.

Dr Cinik - 3000, Nothing much from the doctor

Dr Ozgur Oztan - 2000-2500 grafts for the hairline with density 50 Grafts/cm2, 1000 Grafts, with a density of 30-40 grafts in the top

Dr Bhatti - merely hairline redefine with 1200-1500 grafts. remaining areas are thinning but not balding yet. Any misadventure with hair transplant will make it look worse due to shock loss of thinning hair which shall most likely ensue.

I felt good about what Dr Oztan and Dr Bhatti suggested me but Dr Oztan, though a good doc is currently out of my budget.

For me finally It came down to Dr Bhatti or Dr Cinik. Not sure if I'm thinking in a right way coz I have read some issues with Dr. Bhatti's hairline work and Dr Cinik's work as transplant mill.

So please suggest me the right path. Below are my current pics. I'm currently 36 and have been taking Propecia for the last 5 years.
