Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted January 20, 2022 Administrators Share Posted January 20, 2022 On 1/19/2022 at 1:36 AM, Thebaldingman said: Yesterday I had my top up and really can’t wait to see the final result. Dr Arshad and the whole team as usual made me feel very welcome and relaxed, in fact these treated me like a VIP. When Dr Arshad assessed my thinner patches he wanted to increase the density as a whole in the right side area and add a few grafts to the left side also he thought this would give my final result and density an overall better result. He estimated around another 1000 grafts but he would have to shave the front to get right in there for the density. I was happy to have it shaved if it made my final result even better and it was. This time round Dr Arshad decided to do the insisions first so he knew exactly how many grafts to remove from the donor area plus the grafts would be out of the body for less time. I then had lunch and the techs then implanted the grafts with both the Dr Arshad and Sommiya regularly coming in to check everything was looking good and on track. The fact that Dr Arshad not only wanted me to be happy with my Hair Transplant result but he also wanted to be happy with it, has confirmed why I’m glad I stayed in the UK for my procedure but also the fact that I choose Dr Arshad who cares about his patients as well as being a very ethical Dr. I will post some photos once I have taken some and also what my graft breakdown was this time. The techs said there were a lot of multi grafts this time. Just got the graft break down from the clinic which is 1=60 2=116 3=836 Wow, your results were already quite an improvement, the top up is not just good aftercare, it’s really amazing. Not many surgeons would do that, he’s gotten some flack, but I feel Arshad is a pillar in the industry, can’t wait to see your pics. 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

The Dr’s main priority was for me to be 100% happy with the result and he also wanted the result to be perfect so the 1012 grafts were what he thought it needed and yes this was done free of charge.

Who was I to argue about getting more density for free, hair greed takes over 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Dark Posted January 29, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) This is interesting as your results seemed pretty good in my inexperienced opinion at the 12 month point, however the doctor himself felt there was a need for a top up... Thanks for your write up, glad your HT came out well. Edited January 29, 2022 by Dark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Thebaldingman Posted January 29, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) 11 days post op now and healing really well, just a few crusts still there which I think will come off in tomorrows wash. Couldn’t get used to the front bit just being shaved, so popped to my barber and he used scissors to cut down the longer bits to a number 2 avoiding all transplanted hair. Density looks and feels really good in the frontal area now. Still a bit red there I remember the redness lingering for a while last time. Can’t wait for this to start growing out now.
