Senior Member gillenator Posted August 21, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2015 Calvin, Congrats. Your hairline design looks good and nice to see that you did not bring it down too low. Good placement and wise on your part for saving some donor for the future... Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Senior Member gillenator Posted August 21, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2015 Now that looks very good for a guy your age. Looking forward to seeing this same angle once everything grows out. Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Senior Member CalvinJR Posted August 21, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2015 Thanks gillenator. Wearing a hairpiece gives the advantage of experimentation with non permanent hairline designs, so I knew in advance where the placement needed to be, also the angle of the temple sides. So I just matched the non permanent hairpiece design with a permanent HT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted August 21, 2015 Senior Member Share Posted August 21, 2015 No kidding? Wow, I have only seen a small number of guys use that combination of surgery in the frontal core with a system behind it. I also know of some guys who use a system for just their crown while dedicating their grafts for the frontal third zone and mid-scalp. And I have to say, many of them have a full head of hair and looks awesome... Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

Senior Member CalvinJR Posted August 23, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) After meeting Bhatti and having breakfast with him this morning I must conclude, that this guy is the real deal.. As real as they come. I give him my highest recommendations. His just a guy with extreme passion for what he does. He breathes and lives hairtransplants and the degree of details in pre and aftercare is second to none that I have experienced before. He even made a little book on do?s and dont?s in the aftercare stage (31 pages). I will probably be going back next year for a scar revision and added density plus a bit more framing of the face if the grafts grow well. Time will tell. But I have no doubt of going to India to visit dr Batthi again that?s for sure. Edited August 23, 2015 by David - Moderator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member CalvinJR Posted August 25, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 25, 2015 Update: day 4, super tired. Got back yesterday. No scabs/crusts - maybe 5-10 at most. Area looks super clean. No pain in donor exept a slight tingling when resting on a pillow. Going back next year to get scar revision plus added density using a combo of body + scalp hair, if this procedure turn out well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CalvinJR Posted August 25, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 25, 2015 David: Thanks. Also, did you have a lot of crusts? When did your crusts come off?

Senior Member CalvinJR Posted August 26, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 26, 2015 Day 5: super tired still. Feeling sick. Recipient area looks great. Almost no crusts still. Donor area is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CalvinJR Posted August 26, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 26, 2015 Day 5: Regarding the procedure I should say, that there are around 200 singles from previous transplant in the same area and also more hairs from old transplant are growing out (just very slowly because I use to wear glue in that area, which seemingly slow down the growth for a while. But "new" old transplant hairs are coming out so I guess there should be around 400-600 hair + the transplanted ones when it all settles. That should make for around 1800 hairs in this area. I am also in the early stages of prospecting from finasterid, which my hair reacted very positively too. My hair has gotten a lot thicker, and also my beard actually. I am also getting some regrowth on the scalp. The bold part is probably bold from using glue with hairpiece, but I could not say for sure. Neither my dad nor granddad or brothers has completely thinned out on top like me, however before using hairpieces I had severe thinning in this area, so I think it would have happened no matter. The glue just speeded up things. I have also used glue on the outer perimeter of my bio hair on the skin, where I had healty strong hair. Those hairs has not been affected the slightest.

Regular Member MAW99 Posted August 26, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted August 26, 2015 Glad to hear about the regrowth and the "growing out". Sounds like things are working out well for you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CalvinJR Posted August 27, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 27, 2015 Day 6. 4-5 scabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CalvinJR Posted August 27, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted August 27, 2015 Bear in mind that some areas don?t have grafts (looks spread out), but that?s probably because I have hairs there, which is kind of hard to see at the moment. Those hairs will also strengthen when I use rogaine later on. Which I have actually never used before, also in combination with finasterid, which I have never used for more than 3 month, but now that the pills are cheaper, I am on them for good. Currently at me 5-6 month on 1 mg fin. I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member CalvinJR Posted September 16, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted September 16, 2015 4 weeks out. Lost 5 % hairs that went out with scabs. All other hairs seems to grow just fine. New hair from former hairtransplant grows too. I will update again when I hit 1 month. No signs of shedding so hope to avoid the ugly duck face.

Senior Member CalvinJR Posted October 11, 2015 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 11, 2015 Not much to report. Almost 2 month out. approximately 30-40 % of hairs has not shed and is still growing. I will report back in 2 month time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
