Senior Member wesley949 Posted October 29, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted October 29, 2006 B Spot: jagdish's hair looks great. He is very fortunate because based on his early pictures I thought his HT would look pluggy. He has had very good growth and it looks natural. What don't you like?

Senior Member the B spot Posted October 29, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted October 29, 2006 Once he loses what natural hair is surrounding his overlarge mini-graft session, it will not look the same. In addition, I imagine he looks much different in person. He still has a a pluggy HT. just disguised by photos/videos and existing native hair. (from my perspective) Glad he is happy though.

I posted the same comment a while back, more or less. It sucks as the plugs are right to his already low hairline. It's not a good sign when you get half of your head HTed, and you can clearly count (with plenty of room to spare) the individual "grafts" on an HT. I hope that he has some more hair in the reserves and that he uses it better this time. not to beat a dead horse but compare the graft sizes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member M&M Posted October 29, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted October 29, 2006 I agree with some of the latter comments. While it looks good in the video and in recent photos, the true test of 'old school' hair transplants is when the existing native hair begins to fall out leaving nothing but the old HT's in plain sight. This is the situation I experienced with Bosley. At first, I thought it was great and very natural... and then I learned otherwise as my native hair began to fall out leaving nothing but a pluggy hairline. ___________________________ 1662 with Dr. Ron Shapiro - Spring 2006 1105 with Dr. Ron Shapiro - Fall 2009 M&M Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member wesley949 Posted October 30, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted October 30, 2006 I may have jumped the gun. I assumed Jagdish was bald on the front half of his head and the hair I was seeing was a HT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Well let's hope that he keeps his existing native hair. Surely the HT hair looks pluggy...I think I commented on this as one of the first comments. Clearly this is old school HT. But based on his current situation with enough native hair, everything looks good together. I mean in no way to insult you Jagdish so I hope you don't take offense. We are just concerned for what the future might hold for you if you lose your native hair that surrounds the transplanted hair. Are you taking Propecia? If not, I'd get on it soon.

Senior Member jagdish Posted October 31, 2006 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 31, 2006 The problem is different than what you think. I don't have problem of bigger grafts. But bigger incisions. Most of my transplanted hair grafts are 2s and 3s. In hairline 1s and 2s, In the middle there are 2s, 3s and 4s. Doctor says it is FUT but I don't think so. It does not have pluggy look at all. The hairs are grown fully but curly. I hope they will become straight soon. Now the main problem is the bigger incisions. When I comb left to cover the incisions, my hair looks natural. But if I comb back the hairline looks very abnormal. One can clearly observe that someone digged a hole and planted a hair. I have not posted any pictures showing this problem. Attached is the picture I took just now with mobile cam. It is not clear. I will try to post a clarity picture. I have been hiding this by combing left and using dermmatch. Because the incisions can not be filled in again, I think I need to get some dense packing done in the hairline to hide those incisions. What do you say? Ravi Vide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 jagdish, yes, I could see that the wide incisions were obvious in your 3 month pictures. Generally speaking your hair looks pretty good according to the pictures right now...perhaps don't do anything for now. What's done is done! The reason I say to wait right now is because you seem to have a good amount of native hair that is covering the insicions and the grafts....but maybe the pictures aren't that accurate I can't tell. My advice is when you need another HT, do NOT go to the same doc...go to a top coalition doc even if it means you have to travel a long distance. B Spot, never really watched DBZ...heard good things though! Yep...it's ok that we are nuts though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 hairhopeful, I'm not one to jump in to say "there is none, fly to the west", but basically, it seems that fine hair transplant surgeons are hard to find in the east for whatever reason. If you read through this thread and see some of the comments made, you'll see that there has been some great concern expressed by members of this forum (including me) since old school technology (micro or mini-grafts) were used on Jagdish. His results came out decently, however, the concern is what he will look like if he loses the native hair around the grafts. If you see one of the pictures compared side by side, you'll see a big difference between Jagdish's immediately post op photos (with big incisions with hairs spread far apart) and Follicular Unit transplantation (with small incisions with grafts densely packed together). There may be some fine surgeons in India, but I don't know of any. My rule of thumb is, why take the risk when you can go for a sure thing. Your best bet is to fly west and go to a surgeon that has yielded consistent positive results. http://www.hairlosslearningcenter.org/hair-loss-content...s/our_physicians.asp Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member jagdish Posted June 22, 2007 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 22, 2007 Hello Friends, I am Back. :-) I had been busy in life. I am now 16 months 7 days post op. The first surgery hair has fully grown. Lost some native hair. Not very bad results from my first HT but definitely not good results. The good thing is that I don't look bald now. The bad things are that I can not comb back. It clearly shows those bigger incisions. Other bad thing is that my hair looks dead. It looks good for 1 to 2 hours after a head bath. Then it does not stand. It looks like it has no energy in it and it drops on the scalp. I think this condition is due to the grafts transplanted far apart and there is not much density. I decided to go for a second session of 2000 grafts for the frontal 1/3. I will keep you posted on my progress from start to end.

Guest Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Jagdish, for HT in India you are a legend. I have been waiting to hear from you. I spent a long time reading all the posts on the thread you started. That is what encouraged me to start on my own research or I could be the next victim of Dr. Goyale. I am sure you dont know him. But I have met a few patients and Goyale is worse that Ashok. I am glad for you. I especially liked your video. Are you going to Dr. Arvind for your next ht? I thought you had already got your second one from your previous posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can meet between 8:30AM and 9:00AM at the hospital. After surgery I am not sure how much time I can spare. My return flight is at 9PM. Anyway you can see the complete details here including pre-op and post-op pictures and continuous updates. Ravi Vide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 jagdish, From what I've seen, at least, immediately post op from Dr. Arvind, the work looks that of quality. I have not seen anyone who has posted immediately post op photos of their work with Dr. Arvind go the distance and post their final result yet. I hope you will go the distance and share your results. I trust your results will be much better than your previous. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
