Thanks for your suggestion hawk. I was concerned about strip since I had bad surgery long back & FUE seemed logical to me. I was never aware that FUE procedure might cause 25% - 30% wastage during extraction from donor sites. I followed your previous postings and seems you have been on a similar route like me. I had been waiting for years for Dr. Coen Gho (Hair multiplication - never happened). I too had contacted Dr. Woods in Australia but was not convinced. I also tried calling Dr. A in India (he did not come on the phone) but was not impressed with the replies given by his staff who had less info than me. When asked what gauge needles the doctor used 21 gauge, 25 gauge; person replied it is thinner than that and not more than 12 gauge (obviously she was not aware than 12 gauge is thicker). She also stressed doctor has done 'uncountless' surgeries. I was completely put off - though I must add it would be unfair to blame Dr. A for unprofessional replies by his staff... but better safe than sorry. Coming to Dr. Sajjad Khan, my friend called the bollywood star in my presence. I had actually seen the bollywood star earlier at my friends private function and had requested my friend to ask him. He promised he would do so but apparently did not find it appropriate. Months Later after pushing, he picked up the phone in my presence and called him. Surprisingly the bollywood star was not secretive at all and gladly gave the info & contact no & even mentioned the Doctor has just come to Dubai since someone he knows is also coming in for surgery. Dr. Sajjad just invites you to visit patients in surgery during lunch break or post surgery (with their consent). Being not convinced 1st time, I made 2 more visits and all 3 patients who were there for their 2nd procedure were happy. 2 of them exceptionally good hairlines. 1 of them good. I even met a celebrity from India (not film related) who had probably come to say hello or for a follow up check & did not mind answering questions. He said it changed his life & it's really worth it. I am a skeptical person and actually googled the person to make sure it as the same and surely was. I also have option to meet another famous person who is coming in for surgery soon & see his results. The fact that famous people from India / Pakistan come to him makes everything seems positive because surely they have the capability to pay more than what he charges & go to USA - but still they come to him in Dubai as it is closer to India. After my visits and seeing actual patients & their results I was almost convinced & thought I would go ahead. But on the other side, with the lack of info on the net and negative reviews of Dr. Shagufta Khan (who seems to be associated with Dr. Sajjad Khan), I just cannot bring myself to say yes. On the positive side, I have seen the results with my own eyes and verified that famous people come to him. On the negative side, hawk is right, there are no laws in Dubai and it would be a scary proposition to get surgery performed here. Moreover lack of info on the net abour the male Dr. Sajjad Khan is discouraging. If there is anybody out there who has got surgery performed by Dr. Sajjad Khan, would appreciate to get some feedback. Really confused

hawk, Dr. Sajjad Khan who has performed several bollywood star surgeries is male. Got confirmation with great difficulty from someone who knows a bollywood star personally. After lot of persuasion for weeks, my friend called the bollywood star and got details of Dr. Sajjad Khan for me. I managed to reach him and talked to him. He seemed like a straight forward guy. He named some other celebs he has performed surgery on (and has their permission to name them) However Dr. Sajjad Khan does not recommend FUE and said while extracting single hair, it can result in 25% - 30% wastage even by the best surgeons. He recommends strip method where he removes a strip and harvests hair from that. However he can perform FUE with single hair if that is what the patient wants. I am really confused since I was under the impression that FUE was better and less painful method. however I had never heard that FUE can cause 25% - 30% wastage of donor hair due to damage while extraction. Would appreciate guidance from experienced members. Thanks.
