Regular Member Prime209 Posted May 27, 2017 Regular Member Share Posted May 27, 2017 Hello all, This was my 2nd procedure for FUE, the first one was done by Dr. Bhatti in India on Dec 2, 2013. The procedure came out very nice and to read up on that just click the following link http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/173149-1169-fue-hairline-transplant-dr-bhatti-12-2-13-a.html. I elected to have the 2nd procedure to clean up my hair line and fill in some patches that had thinned behind the hair line so I can do different hair styles without exposing thinned out area. Realistically, I could prob go another year or two before people would even notice anything but I'm entering the stage of my life where I'll be settling down soon and want to look good in the million of pics snapped to commemorate the occasion. I chose Dr. Diep because he has a great reputation and his hairlines are the best in the business. He's also a very cool down to earth guy once you get to know him and he's willing to help in anyway he can (gave me a ton of advice on online marketing for my business). His clinic is very clean and his assistants are very focused on their job. Cost wise, he's probably one of the more expensive surgeons when it comes to HT. Part of that is the fact that his clinic is located in one of the most expensive real estate markets in the country. Expect to pay 4x more than you would overseas. Plus you gotta pay for quality. He noted that the punch size of the holes at the donor site for my original FUE were too big and as a result the donor site has visible punch marks that also probably damaged surrounding follicles. But anyways, enough about me and the procedure, you're all here for the pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member andy_+_+ Posted May 29, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted May 29, 2017 Interesting about the doctors statements on your previous work. There has been a few claims to unevenness in the hairline or gaps. Good to know that you liked Dr.Dieps bedside manner. There has been previous posters saying it wasn't great but their results were great. Looks like this will fill in nicely for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member stephcurry30 Posted May 29, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted May 29, 2017 how old are you now? Diep is one of the best HT FUE surgeons in the world. You are in great hands. May the HT GODS BLESS YOU WITH GREAT GROWING IN THE UPCOMING MONTHS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dr Tejinder Bhatti Posted May 29, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted May 29, 2017 Mr. Prime209, Congratulations on your newest FUE procedure. I noted the opinion of Dr. Diep that you shared regarding the extractions from your procedure with me. It is documented that your punch size was .85mm and was not "too big" for your case. In fact, I do not own punches larger than .85mm as that is the largest I order from my supplier and there is never a need for a punch that is larger than this. I hope this puts any concerns to rest. I wish you the speediest of growth and congratulations on your upcoming nuptials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Prime209 Posted June 11, 2017 Author Regular Member Share Posted June 11, 2017 2 week update. Starting to shed, a lot of crust and scabbing coming off with the shedding hair as I gently massage the recipient area. According to the post op instructions I should have started to do this using a cue tip at the 8 day mark but didn't have time so I'm starting it 15 days mark.

Senior Member Spanker Posted June 11, 2017 Senior Member Share Posted June 11, 2017 I don't see fin use on your profile. I understand reservation in taking it but I would note that you are patterned as a norwood 5. This is a little concerning to me as you're still.focusing on hairline. My advice is to reconsider finasteride and make sure you have a master plan for frontal third to 1/2 in the future.

Bill - Seemiller Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Prine209, Though it is still early in terms of expecting to see any new growth from your second hair transplant procedure, we'd like to know how you are doing and how you were healing. We encourage you to come back and give us an update and then post monthly pictures so we can follow your progress. I hope things are healing well and that you start to see new growth soon.
