Regular Member 362guy Posted November 13, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Hey all! I'm taking the plunge for the 3rd with Dr. Bhatti in India on Thursday. Bit of my history: I've had 2 fairly big FUE procedures with Dr. Rahal in the last 10 years. And also one touchup procedure. I've received over 5000 FUE grafts into my hairline, mid-scalp and crown. I had a good experience with Rahal but unfortunately, with my thin hair characteristics and high contrast to my scalp, I didn't get the home run result I was hoping for. My crown is still quite exposed and my hairline is also quite weak and needs more grafts. Dr. Rahal thinks I only have 200 more scalp grafts left at the most. Sooooo after a lot of thought I've decided to try BHT - beard and chest grafts to finish up the job. My thinking is that I have already invested so much time (and money) into this and I would like to finish it. I didn't get a hair transplant in the first place to have a bald crown and weak hairline. Researching BHT on here lead me to Dr. Bhatti and he appears to have done some great work over the years so I feel I will be in good hands. Communication with Dr. Bhatti for the last few months has been very professional and he always personally responds to my emails in a timely fashion which is great. He feels confident he can fill in the exposed area in the crown and also thicken up my hairline using a mix of scalp (200) and beard / chest (1300) or however many grafts we can get. Anyone else with a depleted scalp donor and still needs further work - you can follow my experience with Dr. Bhatti on this thread as I will be updating my progress until the one year mark. I should also note that in the past year I got SMP into my crown. The bottom of 4th picture is after the SMP.

Senior Member HARIRI Posted November 13, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted November 13, 2018 I have the same experience almost with you. I went to Dr. Rahal back in 2011 to fix my hairline with 2500 grafts via strip as I was already cut before. I wasn't pleased with customer service and Doctor's feedback. My hairline was designed not as agreed and grafts grew one side more than the other. Plus I heard he isnt good in FUE as good as he was in FUT. However choosing Dr. Bhatti is a great decision, I was astonished with his confidence transparency and FUE capabilities of utilizing donor and beard hair in a very attractive rate. I call him the king of BHT in Asia. Thus I chose him for my last FUE procedures as I am not looking for perfection but for good coverage as I got used to use Nanogen fibre concelears.
