FUE Hair Transplant Dec-14-2012 (Dr Tejinder Bhatti of Darling Buds)

[midnightio75]

In 24hrs I will have a FUE HT with Dr. Bhatti in Chandigarh, India.

 

I am 37 years old from the USA, and have had 2 previous 'regular' FUT transplants in Bangkok, Thailand. The first was around 2005 and the second in 2008. I started loosing hair by the time I turned 20. The results from both FUT transplants was very helpful for my situtation, but I never appreciated the size and permanent nature of the scar that is left behind. It means anytime I cut my hair too short (2 guard) the scarring is visible. Not to mention for my scalp the hairline near the scar no longer lays naturally flat. Lastly, I really do not like the invasive nature of FUT now that I have had it done twice -- cutting you from 'ear to ear'.

 

I have lost additional hair since 2008 and while wanting more hair I will not do another FUT procedure. I was intrigued to read the reports over the last 4 months here on the forum about FUE transplants at a reasonable cost. The only challenge for me is working this into my schedule, and taking the time to fly to India.

 

I am starting this thread to document my progress before and after and provide additional unbiased feedback about Darling Buds for other HRN readers.

 

I am currently in Dehli and will catch an afternoon flight (50 minutes) to Chandigarh, India. Tomorrow morning I will go in for the procedure -- first consulting with Dr. Bhatti. I have not had much detailed correspondence yet regarding our plan, so when I arrive in the morning I expect some initial busy activity as we decide how to best approach my procedure.

 

I want to get as much done as possible, as I hope I will not have to have another HT for many years to come. I hope to reach 4000+ FUE's and have also considered if I want to use any donor hair that is not from my scalp. I undestand Dr. Bhatti offers this at an increased rate per FUE.

 

I am attaching my current 'before' pictures to this thread, and then I will take pictures and notes tomorrow before/during/after the procedure and share my experiences!

midnightio-

 

Welcome to the forums! Congratulations on your decision to undergo your 3rd procedure with Dr. B!! From what I've seen of his results, you are in good hands!! 24 hours and counting huh?? That's exciting! 4000+ FUE is a HUGE SESSION!!! Does Dr. B know you want that many grafts done while you're there, and did he say there would be any limitations in doing so? Is that graft count do-able in a one day pass with his clinic, or do you have to go back over the course of a few days to break it up into more manageable stages? Also, do you have any photos of the state of your hair prior to your first two FUT procedures.....just so we know where you started from?!!

 

I'll be sending good thoughts and vibes your way for your restoration with Dr. B tomorrow! I'm glad you found these forums to document your journey and to keep us all here posted along the way! You'll look like a new man when it's all over, so can't wait to see the end result!

 

Just curious, whereabouts in the US are you from?

 

Kind Regards,

 

Mike

[midnightio75]

@ Mike - Thanks so much for the kind words.

 

In fact this will be my first HT with Dr. Bhatti. My two previous HT's were with Dr. Path in Bangkok. I will see if I can dig up any older pictures to post.

 

For the session size Dr. B has noted that we should be able to get up to 3500 grafts in one day. And I saw that 'shane13' reached 4000 grafts in June with a 12-hour (!) procedure. So the 4000 graft size could be a bit of wishful thinking on my part... I would like to get as much done at one time as possible, so long as we can balance the new grafts against the chance for shock loss with my existing hair.

 

Dr. Bhatti did note he has left his Saturday afternoon (following day) schedule open in case we need to do additional grafts.

 

Fingers crossed!

[agenteye]

Awesome buddy, fingers crossed for you here too!!

 

Let us know how everything goes tomorrow.....or the next day....well, or whenever you recover a bit!! :cool:

 

It would have been really cool to have your procedure done on 12/12/12 ya know....but since tomorrow isn't a Friday the 13th, should be a good day regardless!!

 

Cheers my friend!

Good luck with Dr B.....by looking at your photos, I would agree in getting as much grafts inserted as possible. keep us posted

[LondonHTseeker]

Hi Midnight, good luck with the operation. I'm looking to get around 1500 FUE in a few months and I'm seriously considering Dr Bhatti. Please keep us posted of your progress.

[TakingThePlunge]

midnight,

 

Best of luck on your upcoming hair transplant. Please keep us posted on your progress.

[midnightio75]

Thanks everyone for the kind words. I have a few minutes to post a short update and some pictures.

 

I arrived in Chandigarh without any problems on Thursday evening (Dec-13). It is a short 55 minute flight from Dehli and only costs about $75usd one-way.

 

Dr. Bhatti had a person met me at the airport and arranged for a taxi to deliver me to the hotel I booked. I first spoke with the Dr. while in the car. He made sure I had arrived OK, etc. At that time he noted that I should arrive at the clinic at 10:30am. I originally had planned for 7:30am, so I was not sure why time would be pushed back as it would leave less time to hit our original 3500 FUE target.

 

The following morning (Dec-14), I took a short 5 minute taxi to the Darling Buds office. Upon arriving I did a few admin items and noticed that the Dr. must have had a morning surgery. It was not until about 12pm before we first spoke in person, and where I could explain my desires, etc. regarding the procedure.

 

The Dr. explained that in my case it would be better to focus my grafts on creating a defined hairline first. Followed by grafts in the crown, and also some in the sides of my head to help cover my FUT scars. He said it is common for this scarring, and is usually most noticable in the area on either side of the FUT incision.

 

I explained my main purpose was to get as many transplanted units as possible during my session, given the distance I have traveled, the time out of my schedule -- but most important for me is discomfort and then the healing process. Let's do it all at once. I don't want there to be any need to visit again in 1-2 years and have to go through it all again.

 

Do to the time constraints already present, we did not get all of the work done in one session. We started around 12:15PM with a short break for lunch, and we finished around 6PM with 2,038 FUE grafts. All were concentrated in the forehead to rebuild and define my hairline.

 

I really wish we had done everything in one session. I will have to go back in today, Saturday (Dec-15), for the second session. Aside from some neck and rear head discomfort for 1-2 hours last night when I got back to my hotel room, everything has gone well. Not like the post-procedure aching I experienced from both of my FUT procedures due to the scalp incision.

 

Darling Buds provided me with a take home care kit containing additional medicine, instruction booklet, a saline mist unit to spray on the graft area every 20 minutes, and a sterile towel to place on the bed pillow.

 

I am expecting to get 1000+ grafts today. I will post another update afterwards.

[Raj Jayukdht]

Its all very good so far. Its nice to see your hairline created again. Keep us posted on your part 2 session.

[midnightio75]

It is 6:30pm (Saturday, Dec 15) and I just returned to my hotel room. I am anxious to provide a full summary while it is fresh in mind.

 

Let me start by saying this is, by far, the best hair transplant procedure I have experienced for several reasons:

- minimal amount of discomfort before & after the procedure

- the actual face time I had with the Dr. and the many questions he patiently answered

- the detailed after care instructions and items provided to ensure the best possible outcome from the grafts

 

With this in mind, I came to terms with doing two sessions. With the minimal pain during and hardly any felt overnight, it was not the issue I thought to be.

 

 

I returned to Darling Buds this morning around 10:30am and by 11:00am I was back in the operating room. We first removed the bandage covering my donor area and cleaned it with an iodine solution. Dr. Bhatti explained that the previous day he had harvested about 2/3 of my donor area, and based on that yield he expected to get about 1,000 grafts from the remaining area.

 

The only part of the procedure that had any real pain was the numbing injections, which was only in select areas and lasted for a few seconds. A few areas during the procedure would still have some feeling and we would numb them further as needed. With everything numb, the extraction tool is used. It sounds like an electric toothbrush -- nothing scary. It makes very quick circular cuts into the scalp donor area as the Dr. uses 6x magnification to identify the best areas to harvest and to space them out the cuts so the remaining hair follicles will regrow with a natural look.

 

The Dr. used the smallest size extraction head for my procedure as I have very fine hair. If I had coarser hair I would benefit a good deal more from my hair transplants as it would yield more total coverage. Dr. Bhatti also explained that with my fair (white) complexion my hair loss is going to be more visible than someone with a olive/darker complexion. But I suppose you have to deal the hand you are dealt!

 

The previous day we only worked on the forehead. Today we were going to work on both the crown area and also try to fix my FUT scars by adding FUE grafts where they are most visible.

 

 

As an aside -- my interpretation of the way FUE works is that the FUE tool 'core drills' the numb donor scalp area, cutting tiny circles to a predefined depth quickly, one after the other. The grafts remained attached so afterwards the staff will individually 'pluck' the grafts from the scalp and place them in a solution. You remain face down on the table for this step and the next.

 

Next the Dr.will numb the transplant area and then make individual incisions, again under 6x magnification, in the areas he deems the best and avoiding existing hair follicles. During this part there is pressure, and a curious sawing sound.. but nothing like the sawing sound during a FUT procedure when they extract the donor scalp!

 

Once all of the incisions are made -- which the doctor will be counting to match up with the number of grafts which were harvested -- a senior staff member will begin inserting the grafts under magnification individually using a tweezer like tool. The grafts are oriented so they face forward, not straight up. Another staff member will frequently flush the area with saline solution. You feel and hear nothing during this final step. You only need to patiently wait while the grafts are inserted. For the front hairline you will be face-up on the table. For the crown area you will be in a reclined seated position.

 

 

The procedure today went very quickly. By 1pm Dr. Bhatti had cut all of the grafts, and the staff then removed them. We stopped for a 20-30min lunch -- which was very good. Dr. Bhatti offers whatever you may want, from Indian food to Subway. I have always prefered to avoid stopping for a break as I want to get the procedure, and the discomfort, over with, but since there was no pain to be felt it was a pleasant break, and we soon resumed.

 

The last step for graft insertions took about 2 hours. We finished around 4pm.

TIn total we had about 960 FUE grafts for Saturday. I was hoping to hit at least the 3500 graft mark, but I did not have quite enough donor area to permit it.

 

Update, my confirmed number of grafts: 2928 total FUE grafts over both days.

 

 

Since I am leaving early tomorrow morning (Sunday) Dr. Bhatti wanted me to perform a wash yet this evening, but wanted to wait until 6pm to give the graft areas some time to settle.

 

This gave me time to have some open and interesting conversation with Dr. Bhatti while we waited. I had many questions, a few which I will share:

 

Why are there not more surgeons offering FUE?

Because the established ones are accustomed to FUT. FUT requires less time per patient and the work is not as intensive. Many transplant surgeons are not accustomed to working under magnification, and once a person is a certain age it is not something they can just start doing. Dr. B did share his opinion that over the coming years there will be many more younger surgeons offering FUE as it is the future.

 

How can your FUE cost be so low (70 INR -- about $1.30 usd) per graft?

Firstly, this is what Dr. B specializes in. He is able to keep his costs lower by being in India. Lastly, he recognizes that by keeping a competitive rate he will attract customers outside of India who also have to account for the air travel, visa, and hotel costs. He knows he could increase the price, but (fortunately!) is content to maintain a fair pricing structure.

 

Why do you not offer a more complete 'travel package' for foreign visitors to make it easier to visit Darling Buds?

Dr. B does not want people to think he is profiting on hotels, transportation, etc. So foreign visitors do need to handle their own air flights and hotel bookings.

 

 

Dr. Bhatti also shared with me that currently around 95% of his surgeries are for the FUE procedure, and the other 5% being the occasional plastic surgery procedure, which he does still enjoy doing.

 

Dr. Bhatti will be moving to a new office around March 2013. It will be 4x the size of the current office and will be laid out to provide a good work flow and additional room for patients and staff.

 

 

After 6pm Dr. Bhatti gave me a thorough cleaning and bandaged up my donor area. We spent about 15 minutes going over the 'after care' instructions I need to follow for the next 2 weeks. I was surprised by the detailed instructions and the care items provided by Darling Buds which is all aimed at making sure the grafts are successful and the scabs falling off naturally at the correct time.

 

With my second surgery today, and the fact that I will have an international flight early tomorrow morning (to a sunny ocean-side area to rest and relax for 3-4 days!) with less than 12 hours of healing time, I will need to be extra careful as I move from taxi to airport to plane, etc. I will also look rather funny with my over sized Darling Buds ball cap covering my head and bandage, and also because we had to leave the grafts to fix my FUT scars exposed.

 

I hope this information is helpful. I normally do not invest this much time and share every detail, but this forum and contributors like Johnny24 has been a key to making me feel confident enough to pull the trigger and come to India just for this procedure. I am happy with my choice, and hope it helps others who are considering FUE gain more insight into the procedure and options.

 

I will plan to post regular picture updates to show my own progress.

 

If there are any questions I can answer, just post them here. If they require a private response I will do so accordingly.

Cheers!

PS - Remember, while it may look like a painful result from the pictures, it is amazing how pain free both sessions have been, not to mention being pain free during the night and being able to rest comfortably, albeit being very careful to not disturb the grafts.

WOW what can I say, a detail report of your HT which will help other members on this forum.

 

Hope you dont mind, Ive got few question to ask:

 

You mentioned that about 960 FUE grafts were taken out as you not had quite enough donor area to permit.....so if you needed a second FUE procedure, do you know how much grafts you have left on the back (donor area)?

 

Has Dr Bhatti told you to take any medication....like Finasteride?

 

Do you know how many grafts were placed in at cm2?

[midnightio75]

A final travel point for those living outside India who have never visited:

 

Check to see if you need an India travel VISA.

USA citizens require a VISA. Fortunately I had one from last year when I made a short visit (my first) to India for business. Most interesting is that I received a *10-year* VISA. Having a VISA already made it an even easier choice when I decided to come to Darling Buds.

 

- Check flights to New Dehli, India (DEL).

I find the kayak.com website to be very helpful for checking flight schedules and costs. Determine if you will need to overnight in Dehli, or if you can catch a same-day flight to Chandigarh.

I stayed at the 'Lebua New Delhi' for $120usd. It was about 350idr (7usd) taxi @ 20-30 minutes from the Dehli airport using outside taxi stand -- which you really have to search for to avoid ending up in a 2850idr ($55-60usd) private SUV taxi.

 

- Check flights from New Dehli to Chandigarh (IXC).

This should be as cheap as $75usd for a 55min flight.

 

- Check hotels in Chandigarh.

A website like Agode works well. Hotels such as 'The Regent' and 'Altius' are in the $65-80usd/night range, and about 10 minutes from Darling Buds. The JW Marriott is a similar distance. I believe it is the nicest hotel in the city at 2-2.5x the nightly rate.

 

 

I stayed at The Regent hotel and have attached a few pictures from my stay.

Hi Jay,

 

Dr. Bhatti did say this evening that after 1 year (I forgot exactly, it could be a little shorter time, but let me go with 1 year) after everything has fully healed he can go back in with a follow-up FUE procedure and he would expect to get about half of the original yield (~3000 grafts) -- so up to 1500 in my case, although I think he threw out a number of 1000 grafts.

 

I hope I will not need it anytime soon and that I can get at least 4-5 years from this current work.

 

 

Yes, Dr. Bhatti did recommend taking Finasteride. I told him I had taken it about 5 years ago for 1-2 weeks, and felt like I was experiencing weight gain and I did not feel 100% normal, so I stopped it. (The topical Rogaine had a similar effect. I started getting headaches within a few days of using it. I rarely get headaches so when I made the correlation I immediately stopped using the Rogaine).

 

Dr. B said he does recommend a very low dose of Finasteride daily and thought it would be OK and for me to use it. He mentioned that he sold it, but I forgot to purchase any before leaving this evening. In truth, the reason I embarked on my first hair transplant was because I did not want to take any medication. I wanted to physically move the hair and for that to be enough to get the results I desired.

Of course, everything I hear is that blending the surgery with the medicine will yield the best results. But thus far, the hair medicines have not agreed with my body.

[stinger99]

midnight, firstly, thank you for taking the time to post a very detailed and helpful write up of your FUE HT procedure. it is greatly appreciated. its looks like dr B. did some clean work on you and im excited to follow your progress. im sure your results will be great.

 

I did have a few additional questions if you can answer:

 

1-it sounds like dr B. used a motorized punch to remove grafts from donor area. can you confirm ? also, did he speak about his opinion on a motorized punch tool compared to a manual punch tool. I ask because some of the best fue docs located in belgium all use manual punch for FUE

 

2- do you know the size of the punch? was it 0.7, 0.8, 0.8 1MM?

 

3- when grafts were removed, do you know if they were put in acell solution?

 

4- what was graft count per square centimeter in the hairline? in back of hairline and crown?

 

5- did Dr B. do all the extractions himself?

 

thank you

[LondonHTseeker]

Jim,

 

Thanks for the detailed write up, I appreciate it. Good to hear everything went smoothly. The work so far seems faultless, albeit from my position of ignorance about the technicalities of FUE.

 

I'm thinking of heading to Dr Bhatti in 6 or 7 months to finish up my HT quest. I've never been to India either and it could be an interesting experience.

 

It looks to me like you may have made a great decision with Dr Bhatti, time will tell if that's true. Enjoy your short break by the sea and all the best with your healing /growing.

Hi midnightio75,

 

Excellent write up, I had 3050 FUE grafts myself with Dr Bhatti back in March 2012. Please gives an update, I always find it exciting to see how other patients are coming on!!!

 

Regards

 

HTindia

[midnightio75]

I wanted to post some updated pictures to show how the grafts look as well as the donor areas.

 

4 days have elapsed:

- for my forehead grafts

- for the right to middle scalp side of the donor area, where we harvested 2000+ grafts

 

3 days have elapsed:

- for my crown grafts

- for my FUT scar grafts

- for the left side donor area, where we harvested 900+ grafts

 

 

A general update is that I feel great. I am performing the 2x daily cleaning regime Dr. Bhatti carefully outlines. My first donor area is healing nicely. The second area (3 days elapsed) still has some 'blood clots' visible, which have not dissolved yet during the saline and shampoo cleaning I perform.

 

I have been using the saline mister throughout the day, every 2-4 hours, or sooner if I have an 'itchy' feeling.

 

While sleeping I use the blue towel Dr. B provided in the care kit and I have been trying to be careful in how I place my head on the pillow to avoid disturbing the grafts -- though ther is no 100% way to avoid it since I also have the grafts on the left and right sides of my scalp to repair my FUT scars.

 

I do not find any further bleeding. I have begun wearing my usual pull-over shirts, but am very careful when they go on or come off.

 

Overall the recovery is going very well. Much easier than with the FUT surgery recovery with the incision and suture aches that I recall. The only trade-off I note is that with FUT the donor area is isolated to the long strip. Where as with FUE the donor area is spread over the scalp, so the shaved appearance and the 'red marks' are certainly noticable. But with my current progess 3-4 days after, I think in another few days the donor areas will look quite natural.

 

In short, looking at the pictures you would expect a good deal of pain and discomfort. The reality is that the only real pain was during the procedure when receiving the numbing injections, and a few areas where we had to apply more during the procedure. Which you will have with either FUT or FUE. The after surgery feeling is different. With this latest FUE procedure I could forget that I had anything done until I look in the mirror. Which so far has been a very pleasant surprise!

 

I will update again around Day 7.

[agenteye]

midnightio-

 

Looking great buddy! Thanks for the update! I am excited to follow your progress, and looking very forward to your Day 7 update!! Everything looks super clean as one would expect from Dr. Bhatti!! Cheers!!

Hi Stinger,

Good questions.

 

1. I was unaware that there are both motorized and manual punch procedures. I know Dr. Bhatti used the motorized system, but I did not have any discussion about the merits between the two.

 

2. Yes, the punch size: .8mm Harris blunt punch

 

3. I do not know if an 'acell solution' was used. The one thing I do note (and shown in one of my pictures) is that when I saw the grafts on the second day when transitioning from laying down to the upright chair for my crown grafts is that the grafts were in a floating in a 4-chamber 'petri dish' with a clear-pinkish liquid.

 

4. I did not get (or request) any type of density calculation for the graft results.

 

5. Dr. Bhatti did all of the punching. Dr. Bhatti also did all of the scalp incisions. The two parts he did not do were:

- pulling/plucking the grafts from the scalp

- inserting the grafts into the incision areas

 

Remembering some details from his website, this was his top level of service. He displayed several other options, at a lower per graft cost, which varied depending on the punch machine as well as if one of technicians did more of the work. I felt the cost per graft was already reasonable enough and stayed with the top level option.

 

Hope this is helpful!

[GNX1]

wow! looks great bro! the one thing I can say about Dr. Bhatti is he seems to create a hairline lower then many other FUE or FUT surgeons that I have seen over the years.

 

it seems that many surgeons dont want to create that low hairline that resembles a youthful appearence for some reason. ive seen so many HT's that look like a patient goes from a NW5 for example to a NW3. ill just continue to shave my head if thats the case. especially considering many have ample body hair that can be harvested so the old "you dont enough donor hair" is BS imo for most.

 

great step by step write-up and VERY helpful to those of us considering Dr. Bhatti for surgery. you have included many things that many of us have questions about.

 

I am really curious to see how the back of ur head looks after it heals and what if any noticible scarring exists.

 

it would be VERY helpful if you took daily or weekly pictures of ur healing so we can get an idea of what to expect and when some of us can return to work without being so noticable.

 

once again great write-up and appreciated by many of us here.

[GNX1]

I have to admit my first impressions of going to India to have a HT were gloomy. but everything posted here looks very clean and professional as far as a clinic goes.

 

and if he is moving to a new clinic thats even bigger and better then then this one then im starting to feel more and more comfortable about going there. cause that means his business is doing well and he is expanding.

 

Dr. Bhatti reminds me of a close friend of mine who builds tube chassis race car and all sorts of other metal fabrication. he is the most talented kid I know at what he does but charges far less then anyone else. I think he's nutz but he thinks otherwise.

 

he has a 6 month waiting list and feels that he does not need to rip people off and is more concerned about the quality of his work and overall reputation then the mighty dollar.

 

I think the D. Bhatti's price probably scares off many people by thinking "its too good to be true". I had those impressions at first I will admit but threads like this from "REAL" patients telling it like it is with no BS are what people like me want to hear vs. some infomercial or fancy website.

 

im a little curious to know why body hairs were not used if your donor hair on ur head was depleeded? why not facial hairs at least? just curious? didnt you want about another 500 grafts or so?

[wadenwa]

Hi midnightio75.

It was one of the best hair transplant info ever. I would like to follow your hair grow experience cuz I'm kinda thinking of India too. I've been talking to dr Radha rani and ****** ****** .

 

Can you please send me a private message?

 

Thanks mate

[Raj Jayukdht]

midnightio75....can you please post some pic's of your donor area...close up shots. Will be nice to see if you have any scars

[midnightio75]

Apologies for the posting delay. Attached are status pictures from Day 7 after the procedure.

 

** I have included some very close-up shots of the graft areas as requested.

 

I have noticed very some minor aches in the donor area, and sensitivity to cold temps/wind while outdoors, but otherwise all is well. I also have some minor rear scalp itching, which is alleviated with circular finger massage of the donor and graft areas. Applying some of the J&J hair oil provided in Dr. Bhatti's care kit is also helpful. I do have the common 'numb scalp' feeling in the graft areas. I know it will take some time for the feeling to be fully restored.

 

In all, I think I have healed quite quickly. The crusts were pretty well gone by Day 7.

 

Due to how the grafts are harvested, FUE seems to be a good deal easier for the recovery process and being able to 'get back to a normal daily routine' more quickly than I was able to previously with FUT. Plus, there are no stitches to remove or dissolve.

[GNX1]

wow its funny you have nearly the exact same hair loss I have and ur results look amazing so far. thanx for the updated pics. they are very helpful.

 

are you going back for another procedure?
