My Experiance with Dr Humayun Clinic Karachi

[HKBOY]

Hello Guys

 

I am 1 month post op and had 2800 grafts with Dr Humayun Junior Doctor Mr Faisal Akhlaq Khan M.B.B.S.M.C.P.S ( Surgery) and F.C.P.S ( plastic surgery F.I.C.S ( USA). in Dr Humayun Clinic Karachi .

 

I did my research via this forum as the dr is recommended here and the internet in general. I view dr patients sites. The feedback was pretty positive and after detailed e-mail exchanges for a few months with few drs in Pakistan i decided to go with the Dr Humayun. I was very happy going into it and fully expected to get a great job.

 

 

My experience with mr faisal the consultant was pretty good, The consultant answered every question whatever i asked .due to Dr Humayun appointment schedule he was not available at HT booked date, Consultant recommended to get HT done by Dr Faisal.i was hesitant and decided to check with Dr Humayun to make sure Junior Dr have enough experience in HT.

 

i have spoken with Dr Humayun ,he assured me that The Junior Doctor is working with him around 2 years and had performed many HT and have very rich experience in plastic surgery.he is willing to take full responsibility .

 

i was very satisfy and decided to proceed with Junior Dr at 27 Feb 2013, i reached on time, The consultant take me to HT Theater, The HT Theater was good, clean and modern, 2 female nurse and one male nurse was waiting for me.

 

Female nurse numb the donor area with few injection and the Doctor part was drawing the recipient area,taking picture and taking the strip out and closing the scar as well as making the incisions whilst the nurses cutting and putting the grafts in place . Doctor disappear as soon as incisions done, i thought he will back to check the progress but later i found that he left the Clinic as soon as his JOB Done.

 

The operation it self was pretty straightforward and simple,well entertained with local and international channels and it lasted 5-6 hrs. They gave me a sandwich with orange juice.

 

during the surgery 2 person ,one male and one female was cutting the graft and one female nurse was placing.

 

The male nurse seem to be all-rounder ,as he was moving in and out in whole process ,sometime he start cutting graft and than disappear and come back after some time, might he do other JOBS also. or outdoor work

 

in my opinion there should be 4-5 staff who continuously work with full concentration to complete the HT but in my case 2 female nurses was involved, one was cutting and one was placing beginning to end. MALE nurse i think he hardly sit one hour.

 

there was no information provided,related to strip,how many grafts will be available,how many grafts of 2 hairs or more one one hair.

 

i apologize if i m wrong but i did not notice anything that they was counting the graft as whole process they have conversation with each other,

 

after the HT Male Nurse take me to consultant office, i asked consultant how many grafts i got, he told me that i check with MALE NURSE, he call him and reply was 2800 grafts,

 

i did not talk anything and settled the balance payment. but still in doubt how the MALE nurse was counting the graft as he did not worked properly in whole procedure .

 

i was expecting around 4000 grafts as my donor density is very good with very thick hair. and strip is took from one ear to another ear, i know one guy he is Cricketer Rana Naveed who got the HT from Dr Humayun, he received 4000 or more grafts in first season. 2 season he got 6700 grafts.

 

when i compare my donor picture with him, i am in much better position than him his picture can be found at Mohammad Humayun Mohmand, MD, FRCS Hair Transplant Surgeon in Islamabad , Pakistan

 

After the HT Mr Faisal Consultant gave me a detailed instructions to what to do for the next few days as well as a list of pain killers which i obtained from the pharmacy on the Ground floor

 

There was no pain, just a bit of discomfort for a couple of days post op as well a lot of tiredness and little swelling.

 

Next day Consultant called to check my condition how i am doing,etc

 

 

 

After 10 days i went back and had the stitches taken out.

 

Things look ok so far but its still early days.

 

 

My overall experience was satisfactory:), except the Graft Calculation method:rolleyes:

 

The op though went well and i am happy with that aspect but i am still waiting for the results

I can relate to your experience. I too, was not give a breakdown of how many single, double, triple and quad grafts that were extracted during the excision of the donor area, despite querying it.

 

With all due respect, I think Dr Humayun's clinics need to be more transparent about graft calculation. I had my surgery at the Islamabad clinic where Dr Humayun excised the donor area himself.

 

Hope you have a good result HKBoy.

as you know Dr Humayun is very reputable surgeon,i am sure he will never cheat anyone , but u know he cannot check each and every his team staff what they doing or how they handling the client.

 

i am fully agree with you,Dr every clinic should provide every details of graft and there should be sufficient staff to manage the HT,

 

when you had surgery, how many peoples were there to handle you?

 

i unfortunately have 2 female staff and one Male staff but Male staff i don't count in as he was did nothing except moving in and out

I had a team of 4 techs. Two females and two males. They were professional and stuck to the task in hand. Except for one female tech, the other three were quite young.

My surgery lasted for 6 hours, 2800 grafts, if you have same time with 4 peoples, its mean there is something wrong with graft calculation
