Senior Member Sethticles Posted July 16, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 16, 2015 Hi David - my goal is just a final touch up, I dislodged some grafts during the 14 day recovery period on my front hair line right side only, so want to fix that and see what Dr Bhatti says about rounding my hairline down slightly, i personally feel it looks too much like "V" and want more of a "U" look, plus very keen to more into my crown. fingers crossed it all goes well. highest priority - crown filled in more then the touch up to the right side front hair line and then finally the "U" look June 2013 - 3000 FUE Dr Bhatti Oct 2013 - 1000 FUE Dr Bhatti Oct 2015 - 785 FUE Dr Bhatti Dr. Bhatti's Recommendation Profile on the Hair Transplant Network My story and photos can be seen here http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/Sethticles/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member CalvinJR Posted July 16, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 16, 2015 hey.. what about the PRP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member California Posted July 16, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 16, 2015 hey.. what about the PRP? Hi CalvinJR, Copy/pasting below from the "cost of hair transplant" section of Dr. Bhatti's website (Hair Transplant Cost in India, FUE Cost, Price) PRP treatment shall cost an additional INR 40,000 taxes extra. For this the patient shall need to come an evening prior. Please note that 1USD =INR 63 (approximately) and hence the PRP cost would be around $635 plus applicable taxes. Best regards, California North America Representative and Patient Advisor for: Dr. Tejinder Bhatti, Darling Buds Hair Transplant Center, Chandigarh, India.

Senior Member Squatch Posted July 18, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2015 Looking good! Seems like just a month or two a go since your procedure. I did the hair coloring also. Strange how I care more about my hair now.

It's funny, my wife couldn't care less if I were bald but she always gives me subtle encouragement to color my hair. She doesn't like the gray. There is a 10 year difference in our ages and we have a toddler going on 2 years next month so I guess dying my hair keeps me looking more like dad and less like grandpa!

Senior Member quillum Posted July 18, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2015 Decided to color my hair a couple of days ago and wanted to share. I used a medium ash brown. I sometimes use light ash brown but it fades pretty quickly anyway so decided to use the darker color this time. I'll be getting a haircut later in the week but I think it's looking pretty good at the moment considering I made no effort to style it. It's just towel-dreid and brushed. The only product in my hair is Rogaine Foam. The only thing I can complain about at this point is the acne scarring that I've endured since 2009. I'm still suffering bouts of severe acne despite visits to multiple dermatologists and trying a variety of medications. It seems to have got a bit worse since restarting finasteride. If I can ever get it under control, I'd like to try laser treatment to reduce the appearance of the scars. If anyone has any advice about acne or scarring, I'm all ears. I suggest you to try to use a 0.5mm Dermaroller for the acne scarring, it worked very well for me after 3 months of use and it's a super cheap option!! I had quite a few scars that are now pretty much gone. Very nice results btw!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted August 1, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 1, 2015 Well, I actually hit the 5 month mark over a week ago. Sorry for the delay and less than stellar photo quality. It's been so gloomy here in SW Florida that it's hard to get decent lighting in my house. I've tried a couple of locations around the house and this is the best I can come up with. Anyway, things have continued to improve. As expected, the crown is moving slowly but I'm over the moon with how the hairline has progressed. Still have some pimples in the donor and recipient areas. I'm on my way to having the best hair I've had in decades and I've gained about 10lbs over the past year! Need to take care of that before it turns into 30lbs. Been there and don't want go back. As always, thanks for looking! David - Former Forum Co-Moderator and Editorial Assistant I am not a medical professional.

Senior Member matt3480 Posted August 1, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted August 1, 2015 David, looks awesome.....let alone for only 5 months. Big difference between 4 and 5 months...and you looked good at 4. Odd that you would start breaking out at your age, has to be the Fin. I used to have really really bad acne up until 20 or so. I took Accutane 2 times (first time was a low dose for a short period of time)....the last time was several years later for about 3 months (and a high dose). The acne stopped immediately. Granted, this was 15 years ago when Accutane was still relatively new....I do wonder if that may have contributed to my hair loss. Hard to say. I do remember my lips being ridiculously dry the whole time I was on it (dry enough to crack). It actually reminds me a lot of Fin....in that it does work pretty well but some people have very serious effects (and which the severity wasn't necessarily known the first few years it was on the market). Obviously, I think people do think twice now in terms of taking either drug as opposed to when they first came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the acne goes, it all started around 2009, a few months after I first started finasteride. Even after quitting, it never fully resolved and now it's back in full force since I've started the drug again. I wanted Accutane but I didn't pass the bloodwork for it. Nothing else seems to work.

Senior Member matt3480 Posted August 2, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yeah, I think I do remember them monitoring bloodwork back then while I was on it. I don't remember exactly what they were looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted August 2, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 2, 2015 Yeah, I think I do remember them monitoring bloodwork back then while I was on it. I don't remember exactly what they were looking for. This quote is from the American Osteopathic College of Dermatology. Accutane may increase the level of blood fats, sometimes to risky levels. This reverts back to normal when the drug is stopped. Occasionally it may affect the liver. That's why regular blood tests are necessary during Accutane treatment.
