Senior Member California Posted July 12, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 12, 2013 Hello everyone. I have been following this forum for a while and have been gathering information and feedback from the forum members. I have found the forum members highly cooperative and helpful. Special thanks to Shane13. MJ0101, GaelicDawn, Midnightio75,Johnny24 and David923 (all patients of Dr. Bhatti) After doing my research and getting my questions answered by Dr. Bhatii via email (I was impressed by the promptness of his responses), I decided to take the "leap of faith" from California to Chandigarh. I had emailed my pics to Dr. Bhatti and he had suggested 3500 to 4000 grafts. That is what I had hoped for too but turned out that my donor supply was much lesser than what I had anticipated. About 10 years ago, I had a FUT procedure done by Dr. Elliot (Elliot and True) in California. This was done in 2 steps (they implanted 600 grafts first and a year later 400 additional grafts after I complained that the first HT did not yield results....ended up getting two FUT scars and decreasing my scalp area). Long story short, after Dr. Bhatti inspected my donor area, he said that my donor supply was pretty limited and only about 2000 grafts could be harvested. Here are the details for the donor grafts: Total: 2373 Scalp: 2048 Beard: 325 Initially, Dr. Bhatti had suggested a much lower (aggressive) hairline but after noticing the scarcity of the donor grafts, he ended up changing to a much less aggressive hairline. I had mentioned to him that I wanted coverage over the crown area too, which meant dividing the donor hair into: Front (hairline): 1344 grafts Back (crown): 1029 grafts Today is my Post Op day #2. Even though I had hoped for a much lower hairline but at the same time, I have to be realistic and accept the fact that my hair loss was too severe to be totally cured by 2373 grafts. It is what it is. I have always had a high hairline and if I end up getting a decent hairline and decent coverage on the crown, I will be happy. Attaching some before and after pictures.

Senior Member California Posted July 13, 2013 Author Senior Member Share Posted July 13, 2013 I wanted to see the results of this HT first. I have always had a high hairline and didn't want to get a hairline lower than what I had when I was much younger.

fueonly Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 bhatti again a savior. I am just seeing if bhatti could give close tight end and very knit hairline. I think bhatti should use hairline mask to fill border line hairline as doctor mwamba uses and he was honest to share that on ht network. I am sorry I am saying dr bhatti is not giving good hairline I am just saying his hairline I have seen is not that great and it could be given his method where he does combo with body hair and he will not have graft limitations if patient has budget. Anyway my friend you could have achieved low hairline also with bhatti as bhatti has done bodyhair and he is also good with bht. Bhatti rocks once again I think india is really vey economic and very very affordable for HT and it makes india the most wanted HT place for seviour bald people who are class7 or beyond to go to india instead paying 7$ , $6 in us , Europe or anywhere else. BHATTI IS CLEAR CUT CRYTAL PROVEN TO BE THE MOST AFFORDABLE FUE SURGEON IN WORLD WITH $1 OR$1.25 PER GRAFT AND ABOVE 4000 GRAFTS HE GIVES SOME GRAFTS FREE WOW . BHATTI ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSS ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Spanker Posted July 14, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 14, 2013 This is the highest hairline I have probably ever seen implanted. Understandably due to your donor.
