Dr Bhatti : 2500 FUE Grafts : 14th Feb 2019

[raghavsarin2612]

So here goes my story :

Current scenario : am 29 years old currently. Have a receding hairline ( not much ). Hair all over the top have thinned but thankfully are still present on the entire top .
Have been taking finasteride 1 mg daily for the past 5 years . Have also been taking biotin/vit&min supplement daily for past 4 years

Past :

20 years : started noticing a receding hairline.

23 years : Hair thinning all over but hairline recede did not progress thankfully

25 years : Was so depressed with thin hair that I decided to shave my head. Started applying minoxidil and taking finax regularly hoping to restore my hair.mad.gif.
Applied and took both these meds for a year.
Shaved my head again: kept on applying and taking meds . Developed severe psoriosis and sabbhoric dermatitis on scalp. Applied meds for psoriosis too.
Essentially lost 2 years of my life . In these 2 years I did nothing fruitful other than to try to get back my hair.All this trial eventually led to a massive depression episode.

27 years : Sense and a new opportunity career vise forced me out of this vicious circle.Left applying minoxidil.Continued taking finasteride and a hair supplement tab .



28 year : A job transfer to a place with extremely hard water , developing chronic seborrheic dermatitis , applying various topical medicines for the same caused further loss in year 2017 and 2018 .To the extent that bare scalp was visible in front region of scalp.

So in January 2019 I was suggested by my local dermatologist to consider a hair transplant.

Started doing research. After months of doing the same finally landed in Chandigarh to Dr Bhatti's clinic in may 2018 .He suggested me 2500 grafts for hairline , temple creation and mid scalp.

For months thought over again , major doubts being -

1 Should I go for a hair transplant at all at this stage or wait to go more bald

2 Will I end up even worse after a transplant since I still had hair on my scalp which could get lost due to shockloss.

Consulted two more reputed clinics in Delhi - Eugenix and Medispa ( Dr Suneet Soni )



So after thinking and getting fed up of hiding my hair loss I took an appointment with Dr Bhatti for second consultation on 18th September 2018. Met him and cleared some doubts . but then unfortunately I was deputed on site by my office .

Finally decided to take the plunge ,paid the advance on 1 December 2018 and have been confirmed the date on 1 March 2019.
Waiting for the date eagerly ( 69 days to go : Have a tracker on my phone )

Have been suggested 2500 grafts for hairline ,temple creation and mid scalp by the doctor ( this was in may 2018 hence may even go a little higher now )

Let's see how it goes , will update my journey with you guys on this thread

Hi guys .
So the latest update is that the date for my hair transplant has been preponed to 14th February : that is 10 days from today.

Reason for this is that Dr Bhatti wanted to do my hair transplant on a weekday and see my condition the next day .the previous date given to me was falling on a Friday and the next day being a saturday , doctor is not available at the clinic.
The reason why Dr Bhatti wanted to see me the next day is that I suffer from sabbhoric dermatitis of scalp ( which is nothing but a more severe form of dandruff ). He said that he wanted to see me the next day after my hair transplant due to this.
It is a mild condition in which your scalp is extra oily , sometimes scales are formed . To keep it under control I use ketocanazole shampoo twice a week.
Doctor has said that it is not much of an issue . I had offered to visit my dermatologist for inspection but according to Dr Bhatti it is not required.

So all in all , for preparation
Have booked two rooms at a hotel in Chandigarh from 13th Feb to 16th Feb . My parents will be with me.
Have applied leaves at office from 13th Feb to 24th Feb . So I will have 10 days to look all right and return to office .
Have booked train tickets and will be reaching Chandigarh on 13th Feb around 11pm.
Other than that have bought some caps and bandanas .
So all is set just counting days for the procedure.
