When Things Go Wrong: How DHI™️Helped Mr. Lalit Bhatiya Recover After a Failed Hair Transplant

Here’s a not-so-surprising statistic: over the course of their lives, more than 85% of men and 33% of women go through some form of hair loss. Given how common hair loss is, it’s no wonder that people are constantly exploring effective ways to restore their hair. But not every path leads to positive results.

Sometimes, in a desperate quest to halt a rapid thinning of hair or to recover lost hair, individuals opt for the wrong hair treatment for hair loss, ending up worsening the situation.

Mr. Lalit Bhatiya found himself in a similar situation, having unfortunately chosen the wrong clinic for his hair transplantation procedure. He ended up with a damaged donor area along with a significant loss of money.

This blog unfolds the hair restoration journey of Mr. Bhatiya – from what went wrong to how he finally reclaimed his confidence with DHI^TM India, the first and only NABH-accredited hair transplant clinic in India.

Mr. Bhatiya’s Hair Transplant Experience

Before coming to DHI^TM India, Mr. Bhatiya had a damaged donor area and a crooked hairline as a result of an earlier improper hair transplant. Deeply disappointed by the outcome, his continued search for a reliable solution that could give him the best hair transplant results eventually led him to DHI^TM.

At DHI^TM India, Mr. Bhatia’s treatment began with the Unique Diagnostic System for Alopecia (UDSA), a detailed diagnostic process used to identify the exact cause of hair loss and the best treatment plan. The results showed that Mr. Bhatiya was at the Norwood Scale IV stage, an advanced stage of hair loss, and would need hairline reconstruction along with full-head coverage to achieve natural-looking results.

During the first session of hairline correction, under the expertise of master surgeons, Mr. Bhatia achieved a fuller, denser frontal scalp in just four months. He proudly displayed the transformation with a satisfied expression as he prepared for his second session, focused on implantation in the crown region.

How DHI^TM Hair Transplantation Works?

Once the treatment plan is approved, the procedure followed in the DHI^TM hair transplant technique looks like this:

1. Local anesthesia is given to the patient to numb the scalp, and the treatment area is marked.

2. Next, the hair follicles are extracted from the donor area using a fine extractor with a diameter of 1mm or less.

3. Once all the hair follicles are collected, the surgeon implants them one by one with a DHI^TM Implanter without creating any slits or holes, making it quite painless.

4. Hair transplant before-and-after care is equally important. Therefore, after the treatment, the clinic also provides a post-operative pack to prevent inflammation and infection.

What Can Go Wrong During Hair Transplantation and How DHI^TM Hair Restoration Clinics Are Prepared for It?

Hair transplantation is a delicate procedure, and several things can go wrong. However, top hair transplant clinics in India like DHI^TM take every necessary precaution to minimize risks.

1. Inexperienced medical staff: Untrained surgeons or technicians may misjudge extraction depth or make errors in angulation during implantation. This can cause an unnatural appearance and further complications.

The entire hair transplantation procedure at DHI^TM is performed only by surgeons who are trained and certified by the London Hair Restoration Training Academy (LHRTA).

2. Improper graft handling and placement: Hair follicles are extremely delicate and can die if kept outside the body too long or stored improperly. Likewise, poor placement could include incorrect angles, improper depth, or incorrect direction, resulting in hair that appears artificial.

At DHI^TM India, doctors only use the patented DHI^TM Implanter, which offers complete control over depth, angle, and direction, promising 100% natural hair with maximum viability. Additionally, the follicles are kept at 4°C in Hypothermosol, a solution that increases their survival rate to 100%.

3. Use of unsanitary equipment: Non-sterile instruments and unhygienic surgical environments can introduce bacteria, leading to infections at both donor and recipient sites.

Keeping patients’ safety a priority, strict protocols compliant with UK Care Quality Commission and ISO standards are meticulously implemented throughout the entire procedure at DHI^TM. Moreover, all instruments are single-use and discarded after every procedure.

4. Excessive scarring: Noticeable scarring usually occurs due to a poorly trained surgeon, overharvesting of the donor area, or use of obsolete equipment.

DHI^TM clinic’s expert surgeons only take healthy hair follicles, excluding hairs in the telogen or resting phase. In addition, the patented DHI^TM Implanter, with its small diameter, simultaneously creates the incision and inserts the graft, reducing trauma to the scalp, which prevents visible scarring.

The Bottom Line

Just like Lalit Bhatia, many people begin their hair restoration journey without completely understanding what to look for in a reliable clinic.
