Senior Member Manuel Posted November 27, 2017 Senior Member Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) After a break of 3 years, I am back on this board I started to experience hair loss in my late 30s. I conducted a lot of research into the matter and decided go for a hair transplant procedure back in 2014. The surgery was performed by Dr. Bhatti. I was very pleased with his work but unfortunately my hair loss continued and more surgery was required. This time I settled for Dr. Jyoti Gupta at DermaClinix in Delhi. The procedure went over 2 days ( 23/24.11.2017) as I needed 4000 Grafts ( 3600 grafts from the scalp and 400 grafts from the beard). The decision to go with DermaClinx was linked to two reasons. First the financial aspect as hair transplant surgery is very expensive in Australia. The second reason was the excellent given communication. The assistant manager of the clinic patiently answered all my questions through WhatsApp and even helped me with my Medical Visa application. She even offered to assist with airport transfers and hotel arrangements . In short, this was first class customer/patient service. I arrived in Delhi 2 days prior to the scheduled surgery. The hotel was located in East of Kailash, New Delhi, just 10 minutes away from the clinic. The room was very basic but since I was traveling on my own and only staying 6 nights it was satisfactory. Day of surgery: The clinic organized a nurse to come to my hotel room at 8am to draw some blood for testing. I arrived at the clinic at 10am and was greeted by the staff, filled in some forms and was then called for a electrocardiogram. Prior to the start of the procedure I was given some medication to take. Dr Gupta and her team examined my head up close. Everything was explained in a professional and caring manner. The day 1 surgery started at 11.30am and ended at 8.00pm. There was a lunch break at 2.30pm ( clinic orders a meal of your choice ) . The day 2 surgery started also 11.30am and finished around 7pm. I was also given a complimentary PRP treatment. I found Dr Gupta very personable and pragmatic or to say it in plain words...... a doctor who genuinely cares about your well being. The entire experience was amazing and I would not hesitate to return for another procedure if needed. I will try and post regular photos to show the progress and welcome any questions that anyone may have Edited December 6, 2017 by Manuel

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted November 28, 2017 Senior Member Posted November 28, 2017 Thanks for the pictures. You must have had a healthy donor area to go with 4,000 additional grafts. I’m curious to know how many grafts were harvested during your first surgery? I too have had two surgeries. 5,200 grafts in 2012 and 2,000 more in 2015. Best of luck to you.

Senior Member Manuel Posted November 28, 2017 Author Senior Member Posted November 28, 2017 Hi John, I have had 2439 grafts taken during the first surgery in 2014. This time 3600 grafts were harvested of the scalp and 400 grafts from my beard. I also received a free PRP treatment.
Regular Member HairThereAndEverywhere Posted November 29, 2017 Regular Member Posted November 29, 2017 The work looks great, congrats! Can you post some before photos? From before your first surgery and before your second surgery? I take it you're not on any meds?

Senior Member Spidey Posted December 5, 2017 Senior Member Posted December 5, 2017 How many grafts did you get from Dr bhattis procedure? Donor looks pretty good for having 4k+ taken out via fue. Do you have a link for your first procedure? My 1036 graft FUE with Dr HASSON. https://hassonandwong.com/timeline/fue-hair-transplant-timeline/

Senior Member Manuel Posted December 8, 2017 Author Senior Member Posted December 8, 2017 2 weeks have passed and some shedding hast started to kick in.
Senior Member Manuel Posted December 8, 2017 Author Senior Member Posted December 8, 2017 Hi AngleD, I do agree that Dr.Bhatti is a good surgeon, however the transplant which I am referring in this thread has been done by Dr. Jyoti Gupta.
