Has anybody heard or know of this surgeon in India .

cheers

Abby,

I have heard of this physician but don't know much about him/her at this point.

We had a patient several months ago post before, immediately postoperative, and up to 4 month pictures but I haven't seen beyond that. (View this patient here).

I was following this patient with interest however, when patients don't follow through with their progress, it leaves the rest of the community guessing at to whether or not the result was quality.

Best wishes,

Falc

Thanks FALCEROS for the info, im trying to contact BBunty and see if he can post some of his latest pics from his 2nd H/T pre/ post December as to give us an idea what this DR Mahadevia is like. Obviously for me and enybody else for that matter going For H/T is a big decision and I would like to find out more about this person as I would like a good H/T and not be butchered in the process.

Abby,

One of my goals in 2008 is to find a reputable and ethical hair transplant surgeon who performs state of the art hair transplantation who is worthy of recommendation at the Hair Transplant Network.

I would love to see some updated pictures from bbunty's procedure as I was following his progress with great interest. Good luck with this task.

Ive had at recent chat with BBUNTY via email and he'll be hopefully posting his pics soon. Also how do I know if im getting exactly what i've asked for, e.g im looking at 4000 gratfs Strip surgery what would be the best the way to calculate or measure this amount.

Cheers

Hey Guys, abby and falc,

How are you all? Sorry for not posting my lastest pics. I am attaching a pic of mine taken from the front 7 months post op (1700 grafts in the front and 300 grafts in the crown from the first hair transplant) . I have requested the doctor for additional photos that were taken before and after 2nd hair transplant and I will post them asap.

bye

bbunty,

It's good to hear from you. I hope that you will be able to take some detailed pictures and post them for us. The one that you posted is very small and to be honest doesn't convey much of a difference between your before/after pictures.

I encourage you to take quality pictures of the hairline, top and back of your head like you did before and place them in your original photo album here.

We'd all love to see an update and how you are progressing.

Best wishes,

Falc

I contacted Dr Mhadevia via email and asked about the strip closure method and he replied by this

( "Well the linear scar which you always get in strip method is minimized by using tension free closure and standard plastic surgical principals. The hair can be grown through the linear mark by "Trichophytic Closure Technique". Post operative avoidance of weight lifting in Gym. is avoided for up to 3-6 months").

Could you possibly elaborate a little on what this means exactly.

Thanks

Abby,

What is it you would like to know about his response?

To understand donor closure, one must first understand strip harvesting. Harvesting the strip of flesh with the hairs leaves an open scalp wound up to a few centimeters wide, depending on the wide of the strip taken and on average, 30 centimeters long.

Generally speaking, the trichophytic closure technique involves closing the wound by overlapping the layers of the wound and trimming the edge of one side of the wound to complete the procedure. There are, however, variations of this technique.

You might hear terms such as fretchet, marzola, ledge, etc which are variations of the trichophytic technique.

The Marzola version trims the top edge so that the bottom overlaps.

The Frechet method trims the lower edge so that the top overlaps.

The ledge closure trims the lower edge but at more of a right angle.

Ultimately the goal of the trichophytic closure is to minimize the appearance of the wound by allowing hair to grow through it. The overlap of the wound allows for this.

I hope this helps.

In my opinion he does not do bad work. But he is not that impressive. His hairlines look low dense. He does not do large sessions. I have had consultation with him an year ago. He had very few patients for reference. I hope he improved more by now.

Here is one of his patient's hairline in close up at 7 months post op.

Jagdish,

Thanks for your feedback.

The picture you posted is a bit blurry and not very clear so it's hard to conclude anything from it alone. It does however, appear a bit "pluggy" to me but I'd like to see more pictures of this patient.

Jagdish, where are you getting pictures of this patient? It's a lot easier to make an evaluation of a hair transplant when we are familiar with a patient's case, and have seen their before, immediately postoperative, and after pictures of varying angles.

Thanks,

Falc

Falc,
I collected some of the doctor's work an year ago. I had email consultations and I asked the doc to email me some pictures. I do have 2 more pictures of this patient but I think I should not post them as they reveal his full face.

I don't have any immediate post op pics. The work looks pluggy in the picture because of the distance between the grafts in the hairline. Also I see some 2's in the hairline. In my opinion, he is little better when compared to my first HT doctor and most of the local micro and mini doctors here but no way near to any of the doctors on this forum.

Jagdish,

Thanks for the information. if you are able to send me these photos privately, I'd love to see them.

Thanks,

Falc

abby....

You are in Manchester....

Why not take a dierect flight to Ney York and see Dr. feller ?

The pound / dollar rate is fantastic and he is a Dr. with proven skills and results time and time again ....

I know it may be tempting to go to india because of the cheaper cost,.....but this is your life and your appearance ....for the rest of your life. Why take a chance?

Abby,

If you are in Manchester, I'd also consider consulting with the Dro Bessam and Nilofer Farjo of the Farjo Clinic who are also members of the Coalition.
