Dr Humayun 3250 grafts strip Pakistan

[Abby]

I qualified for 3250 grafts. procedure took 7/8 hours. Dr did a tryphotic closure using stitches that were removed on day 10 whilst in Pakistan. First couple of nights slight discomfort this slowly subsided daily. Almost 2 weeks on donor area feels a little tenderish and little tightish and numbness is also decreasing. Many little hair follicules are sprouting out although I believe these will shed and true results are expected in around 8/12 months. Scabs have all been cleared through washing and soaking scalp after 10 days with small hairs falling out when washing, I believe this is quite normal. I also took pictures pre-op and shall be taking taking more pics every 3 weeks and shall post all of the pics together for everyone to see. The scar is looking finer compared to day 1 according to the wife. Feel like having a buzz cut but shall wait another couple of weeks untill tenderness is reduced further around donor area. Now I will just wait and see the results and let everbody make up their own minds up about DR Humayun's work.

Hi Abbey, how are your results now, I had 2475 grafts with Dr Humayun on 26th Jan 2009, so far so good but will be able to say in about another 9 months as results become visible, this was my 3rd surgery but 1st with Dr Humayun, the overall experience was good and service was fantastic, now lets see the final results! please post some more picture that are up to date

thanks

10 months post -op still a little thin and patchy , maybe the area was just too big and 3250 isnt exactly a lot f0r a NWS6. I may consider another just to give it that density look.

Hi, yes u r right 3250 is nothing for density on a NW6, i am a NW7 and have had 5675 grafts and I guess might need more, so dont expect a full head of hair with only 3450 grafts. i had 3200 about 10-14 years back and then lost alot of hair in past 12 years so went to fill in the gaps, i hope it turns out well, do post some more pictures pls.

From your experience do you think another 2500-3000 may make a big difference I also see that your 1st H/T was in 1996. Since then have you noticed a difference in technology and which clinic did you go to in the UK..

Dear Abby, I used Dr May in Great Ticthfield street just parallel to Harley St,London W 1, but from my experience HT in UK is a waste of money,Time and most important of all good DONOR hair!! He did a good job for that era and I am sure he has improved so not ditching him in anyway as the hair I have now is thanks to him!

 

yes you will find a big difference with an extra 3000 grafts off coarse if you have donor area available, but if I were you, I would wait at least 24 months from your surgery before the next one to see if you are happy with the result of your first one,I found that the next 12-24 months after surgery hair growth to its max gives you a better idea of your end result, so don't rush to have your next one so fast.It is a bit like having starters first and letting the food digest and then the brain gets a signal from your stomach telling you how much more you can have! and at the end you are comfortable and not over full and blotted! (if you know what I mean and am trying to say)

 

In other words be patient!!

 

I must say that if I did not have any surgery at all in 1996 & 1998, I would not have any hair left on top of my head and that would be very depressing and when I had my first HT, micro grafts were in the very early days and Dr Humayun did say that taking the time into consideration it was not such a bad job and he had seen alot worst,

 

yes major improvements in surgery have been made in my experience, I can see the scar Dr Humayun has done is hardly visible but before if I did a MK 3 hair cut my scar was visible. He removed those scars all together and my doctor in UK (my GP) made a very nice comment on his work when I visited him to remove the stitches (staples)saying is a very nice work and a tidy finish ( rare for another Doctor to comment on someone else work), I did not tell him where I had it done at that point but when I did he was very surprised and said that even in UK he has not seen such good work, in my surgery carried out in the UK my head was like a football after surgery for at least 4-7 days, but after Doctors Humayun surgery I experienced no swelling at all, plus the discomfort on the donor area was reduced, however increase stretch feel on the skin but I guess that's due to it being the 3rd surgery.

 

Another main factor I liked is that I was on Local anesthetic rather then general anesthetic that Dr May used, I had no idea what was going on , but with Dr Humayun's surgery I was talking away asking question on what's going on and watching TV as well!

 

I must say that after 3 surgeries this was the best experience so far, now just looking forward to the same type of results!!
