1st hair transplant - Dr Ismail Ugratdar - 2300 grafts FUE 6/07/20

[Saffy82]

Hi Guys, 

I took the plunge recently and had a FUE hair transplant through Dr Ismail Ugratdar. Not a renowned HT surgeon on this forum at all compared to other more commonly know surgeons, however I had come across some good accounts/experiences which convinced me to go ahead with Dr Ish.

When I arrived at the clinic I was welcomed by a member of Dr Ish’s team. I then had a review of my hairline with Dr Ish and we agreed the best and most natural hair line for what I wanted to achieve. 
 

We then commenced the hair shaving, done by one of the technicians (Kate) and then I got ready for the extraction phase. I was really worried about the anaesthesia as I have a fear of needles. As promised, Dr Ish used ‘baby needles’ which were hardly noticeable. Approximately 2300 grafts were extracted as the Dr felt that would be sufficient for the hairline I wanted and to achieve a densely packed front. 

Dr Ish then made the incisions at the recipient area which again was surprisingly (for me) painless. We then took a lunch break before the implanting of the grafts which was carried out by the techs. All in all I was really impressed by Dr Ish and his calm demeanour and his tech team. I’m now hoping for the results that I committed to a HT for - fingers crossed! I’ll keep posting regular updates tracking progress... 

some pictures from the day - pre and post surgery! Welcome your thoughts guys!

Hi @Saffy82 and good luck for your HT post.  Can I ask you where the doctor works and where did you read his references?  On Google I was unable to find it.

Hi @Egy I had my procedure in the Midlands - Bromsgrove to be precise. However, I understand he has a number of clinics in the Midlands - Birmingham and Nottingham mainly. He is affiliated to the Private Clinic too: https://www.theprivateclinic.co.uk/medical-team/dr-ismail-ughratdar

Hi guys,

12 days post surgery. Thought I’d share some more photos. Please let me know what you think! The scabs took around 11 days to fall off which I guess is normal.

Donor area day 3 and then day 12 post surgery.

^ I mistakenly applied some Aloe Vera gel on the donor area at day 3 as it was very itchy hence the glaze visible in the photo above.

Hairline looks pretty good mate! I really like the small imperfections he's put in. It will look far more natural with those included.

Looking really good. 🙂  I had a 1500 graft HT done by Dr. Ish on 11/07/2020.  The overall experience was really good.  You’re healing really well.  Any shedding yet?

It's interesting that you have provided a link to The Private Clinic who charge £8000 for a procedure with Dr Ismail in Birmingham rather than giving a shout out to the  company that actually referred you to Dr Ismail in Bromsgrove and charged you half of that amount.  Why would you do that?
