Senior Member Shera Posted October 19, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted October 19, 2017 (edited) Graceful response Shera! Very amenable. If I have to go by your account, looks like there was a misunderstanding/miscommunication about the means goal and the end goal between the concerned parties. Thank you Mayira, Lets see the "end goal" first before we start comparisons with the "means goal". You know your result will not be final at 10 months so lets try not to assume Vermaj's is. Also, on another note, have you been drinking? Edited October 19, 2017 by Shera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MayiraP0chu Posted October 20, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted October 20, 2017 Also, on another note, have you been drinking? Lol! Lets see the "end goal" first before we start comparisons with the "means goal". You know your result will not be final at 10 months so lets try not to assume Vermaj's is. I am afraid you are quite mixed up with the two. Means goal would be the current surgery's final result. It could be like you say above, the OP was given conservative grafts in this surgery to preserve his limited donor grafts and thus protecting from his expected heavy future loss, but in the process may or may not making this surgery a resounding success. The end goal would be the ultimate density OP is going to get as he yearns, at the end of the 2 or the 3 surgery or even may be the 4 th with the donor grafts that was wisely preserved earlier in the 1 st surgery. Thus, making the end goal significantly important than the means goal. So, no, I am not trying to second guess Vermaj's before it's time. Clearly we both/all want the best for him. I think we should leave him in peace and grow well. We shall discuss further if need be via PM? Cheers! Anyone can be confident with a full head of hair.

Senior Member vermaj Posted October 28, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 28, 2017 I had a hair cut as you all suggested, thanks for that. Makes it look decent than before. I am still concerned about the curls, the frontal hair gets curled, which further does not help with the illusion of good density. I am not completely satisfied with the density, but still hoping to wait for coming months to see what is in store. Does anyone have any tried and tested method to make it more straighter ? Or any other way of making it fuller? I don't want to go on concealers for now. I am also attaching my donor area in maximum light so as for you guys to gauge it. Thank you for your honest feedbacks.

Senior Member Rawkerboi Posted October 29, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted October 29, 2017 Concealers may be a good option for you but just remember once you start using concealers you will never stop using it! Its an addiction! So any future plans to undergo second HT to fill in some more density? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member vermaj Posted October 31, 2017 Author Senior Member Share Posted October 31, 2017 Any replies on the straightening part ? also comments on my donor? and no I am not keen on going for concealers. "My Hair Loss Website" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member itxrd Posted November 5, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted November 5, 2017 Donor looks good. I don't think you need straightening either. Honestly I'm not just saying this but I think your hair looks good and you're overthinking things. Just relax and wait for it to get even better.

Senior Member vermaj Posted November 9, 2018 Author Senior Member Share Posted November 9, 2018 I am sorry I have been busy with work lately, hence this profile went into hibernation. Posting some more pictures, let me know what you guys think. All pictures are in brigth light. I am going to need to get second HT done down the line for the mid portion. I still take finasteride 1mg alternate days. "My Hair Loss Website" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member itxrd Posted November 9, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted November 9, 2018 Looks good. I think it's what you expected. You have a good head of hair and yes if you wanted the midsection to be thicker the lowering of the line means you may need another op down the track. Looks fine for now. Enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member dtreidjr Posted November 10, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted November 10, 2018 Man, it looks natural. Explain what you were hoping for and why? Not one person will look at you in life and think "That guy is losing his hair" or "that guy is balding". Relax and enjoy it. You only had a little over 2000 grafts. You have plenty of donor left for the future and it's not like you are out $15k for what you just had done. Being very honest, you went bargain shopping. You flew to a different country to get plastic surgery done because of cost concerns. This is not a comment on how good/bad/ok/etc... the job is. As I've said, looking from the outside I would be very happy with the job you got done. But when you have a mindsight that you're trying to get plastic surgery done and you're going looking for a bargain price, you can't be so obsessive or picky. You have to decide if you're happy with the results. If you are, then go with the same place in the future. If you're not, then go to a reputable person in the U.S. Just my 2 cents, but man, I think you look really good and should be extremely happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying that I am dissatisfied, I am just providing a first hand experience of what was done. I think it's not a bad result. To be honest, I don't know why you are quoting US doctors as reputed, I think no matter the country, there are reputed surgeons who does the same quality work provided you go to the right one.

Hi Vermaj, Very happy to see the updates from your side. Your hair looks good. For the future, you have age and tons of donor hair supply on your side if/when you need to have another go at it (in case you suffer hair loss in the future). For now, as others have suggested, enjoy your nice looking hair:) Regards, California North America Representative and Patient Advisor for: Dr. Tejinder Bhatti, Darling Buds Hair Transplant Center, Chandigarh, India.

Senior Member vermaj Posted February 7, 2019 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2019 In Chandigarh meeting Dr.Bhatti for a followup. Any specific points you think I should raise with the doctor ? "My Hair Loss Website" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member bornwithhighforehead Posted February 7, 2019 Regular Member Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) Seems like many patients have less than ideal density from Dr Bhatti. I'm one of them and I got the same result as you and had to do a 2nd HT to top up the density.

Senior Member Fozzie Posted February 7, 2019 Senior Member Share Posted February 7, 2019 Think it's a decent result for just over 2000 grafts. Density was always going to be an issue considering the hairline has been lowered by so much and the 2135 grafts included restoring the area from the hairline down to the temple points. You mention the curls don't help density but I actually think the opposite... they aid with the illusion of density. Personally, would have been reluctant to lower it by so much if there is history of NW 6-7 hair loss in your family but if you and your surgeon have a plan and your own expectations are reasonable, then fair enough. Think remaining on finasteride will be imperative in your case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I still have a decent amount of grafts remaining and that will be helpful in future procedures. "My Hair Loss Website" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I am ok, I may get another procedure down the line when it starts to get more evident . I don't know about shaving the head yet.

Additional 500 Grafts for what? Adding more density in front? But I guess you were pretty much satisfied with less density. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
