Hello Everybody, I had my HT done yesterday by Dr. Feller. Like many people here, i also had very good experience with Dr. Feller. I do not want to make this post so long by writing all the things i went through while my surgery. Because so many people aready mensioned about it here which helped me alot to understand the procedure and prepare myself. Everything went normal as expected. Dr. Feller wanted to do 2800 grafts session on my front 1/3 of the scalp. But i asked him to cover my top as much as possible. And i told him, if i want more hair i would do that in my next HT. He agreed for it. My density may not be great like he usually do for all other patients. But according him, i got an average to good density. Here are my graft counts: Total Grafts: 3200 1's - 15% 2's - 70% Multi's - 15% I have not yet requested Dr. Feller for my Pictures. I will do that today. But i have few "immediatly after procedure" and "next day" photos taken by my mobile which i am attaching here. Please provide your reviews and feebacks on this. Thanks, Rk

Thanks for the replies. How much area i can get covered in ZONE 2 with 4000+ grafts in my first session? When i see other patient pictures in this forum, i feel like 3000 grafts means alot and can cover big bald area.

Hello Everyone, I am a newbie in this forum, but have been following all the topics of this forum for last 1 year as part of my research for my HT which is scheduled on this monday (May-12-2008) with Dr.Feller. This forum helped me alot to choose my doctor and in all other aspects of my research on my HT. I thought, this would be a great idea to share my expecations with all of you and get your openions before explaining them to my Dr. on my procedure day. When i spoke to Dr.Feller at my consultation, here are the points i got from him. 1. I have very dense donor area (Even he commented that he never saw that much density for any other Asian Head) 2. I have less laxity 3. I have 1 and 1/2 inch larger head than other asian head. He suggested me 2500 to 3000 grafts for my first HT to cover the ZONE 1 (Frontal Part) as shown in the picture and told me that he can take upto 3500 grafts. I am a temporary resident in US, so i do knot know wether i can go for my second HT or not in the future.So i want to cover my head as much as possible in a single HT. I do not want to go to some other dr. in the future at some other place. I want to get covered next zone (2) as shown in picture (Mid scalp and around the crown) in my first HT. If my donor area could produce 4000+ grafts, can my zone 2 be covered. Is it possible with that graft count to get fairly good density? Can It be possible to produce 4000+ grafts from a good dense donor area? Am i expecting resonably? Experts adive please.........
