Dr Bhatti- How does the beard donor site look like at 18 months post harvest?

[Dr Tejinder Bhatti]

Hi Jayukdht,

 

This is in regard to your query on the sizes of punches.

Well, I use the Harris dull punch- sizes 8 and 9. The actual cutting diameters of these punches are - 0.75 and 0.85 mm respectively. The other punches available in the market are marked as per internal diameter.

Well, in most cases I use 0.75 mm since it allows me finer grafts which can be packed closer together for greater density in contrast to grafts harvested with the 0.85 mm punch. But it is not that all cases are necessarily candidates for a smaller punch! In around 15% of my clients who have larger follicular groupings, I do use 0.85 mm alone. I mostly first use the 0.75 mm punch avoiding larger follicular groupings and come back again to harvest the latter with 0.85 mm punch. On average 80% and above work can be done in most cases with the smaller punch.

I have never had the occasion to use sizes bigger than 0.85 since the past 4 years after I picked up the wonderful FUE technique.

I hope I have answered what you had asked.

Thank you Dr Bhatti you have answered my question. When do you think your new clinic will be up and running? Please would you post some images of your new clinic.

Dear Jayukdht,

I would not like to place promotional material here.

We would have shifted completely by end March.

You are most welcome for the inauguration.
