Sanjay Dutt, Kancha Cheena and Hair restoration



For those of you who do not know, who Sanjay Dutt is, I can tell that he is a big star in Hindi film industry, has done memorable roles in many movies and has led an eventful life so far.

For those of you who do not know, who Kanch Cheena is, I can tell that I also did not know about it till a short time ago. Now, I know that Kancha Cheena is the name of  principal  negative character of a Hindi movie called Agneepath. To play the character of Kancha Cheena, Sanjay Dutt went bald.




The next logical Q would be, why am I, a cosmetic and hair transplant surgeon, blogging about this?
Well you can see the reason in picture no.1 above........
See that nice 'U' shaped scar on the back of his scalp. That's exactly how a hair transplant scar looks like, when strip method is employed.
Since this scar had piqued my curiosity, I did a little more googling and came up with this.



and this...

I congratulate Mr. Dutt for having the guts to go bald in a country where cosmetic enhancement is a taboo.
 I also hope that his bold step will help to establish the fact that conventional hair transplant procedure when done properly gives excellent results and is still in vogue. For more information about hair transplant you can write to me at Provelus Hair Transplant clinic.

Hairline design in Hair Transplant

Image
During hair transplant consultation, many of my patients bring old photographs from their prime years. Most often this is done with the good intention of giving me an 'idea' of the hair loss. Hidden inside that good intention is the expectation that their new hairline will look exactly like it used to be. As a plastic surgeon , this puts me in a tight spot. While old photos are valuable to me for assessment regarding design and pattern of hair loss, the extent of restoration depends solely upon the availability of hair in donor area and patient’s commitment for multiple sessions. My primary goal during reconstruction of a new hairline is natural appearance. A mature natural hairline looks far better than a low unnatural hairline any day. In fact low hairline is a hallmark of an inexperienced surgeon, who often becomes a ‘yes man’ and harms the patient in long run. So, what makes an ideal hairline? You can find it yourself. Discreetly, try to observe the hairlines of...

Truth About Cheap Hair Transplants.

Image
Recently, there has been a flood of hair transplant clinics who are willing to do transplants at  ridiculously low prices. As a consumer, you think this is because of growing competition in the field. And like other commodities prices had to fall one day. You are happy that now the procedure is within your 'budget' and you quickly get a transplant before you lose this golden opportunity. Few months pass by and you see some hair growing. You are overjoyed by this new growth and give yourself a pat on the back for a wise decision. Few more months pass by, and you don't really see the results you expected. You talk to your hair transplant physician ( who you now realise is just a general surgeon or not even that) and he reassures you of great results in few months time. This patient received ' state of the art'  'No stitch No scar' transplant at a leading clinic in New Delhi. Two years later his whole scalp is scarred, hairline is low a...

Stages of Baldness

Image
It is a common knowledge that baldness occurs in degrees and is a gradual phenomenon. Since it is not possible to convey the extent of baldness in words, a classification system was developed by Dr. Norwood. This is the most commonly used sytem today, although other more complicated systems are also available. Broadly speaking, Norwood classification attempts to divide baldness in seven stages with stage I  being normal adult hairline and stage VII being total possible baldness. Although, there are many flaws in this system, it still gives a basic idea regarding the extent of baldness in an individual. Stage I Essentially normal adult male hairline (not to be confused with 'juvenile hairline'). Temporal recessions are well defined   with frontal hairline in normal position. No miniaturisation in crown region. Stage II The frontal hairline shows slight recession(< 2 cm), with more pronounced recession in  temporal area. The "A" vari...
