Darling Buds Hair Transplants

What is Dr Bhatti’s “FLUTE COMBO” TECHNIQUE” ?

Tejinder Bhatti is recognized for innovative, effective and result-oriented approach to your hair loss problem. Since he promises only results and not techniques to his clients, he is neither an “FUE alone” dermatologist or “FUT alone” plastic surgeon, but takes pride in being a “Hair Transplantation alone” plastic surgeon. After years of training at the best centers the world over, Dr Tejinder Bhatti has accomplished hundreds of successful hair transplants and has recently set up the most advanced hair transplantation laboratory in North India acleed darling Buds. His happy clients from across the globe bear testimony to his technique due to their natural, pleasing and superior results. His technique, called the “FLUTE COMBO”, devised using his own specially designed instrumentation carries the good points of both the techniques to give the best combination to his clients. (‘FL’-follicular; ‘U’- unit; ‘T’- transfer; ‘E’- and extraction) Though Dr Tejinder Bhatti does 60% cases today using the FUE technique, he continues to maintain (much like top doctors the world over) that FUT (strip), unlike the hype in media, is the most advance single procedure today in hair transplantation and is done by over 95% of leading hair transplant clinics in the USA. In India, the TOP 5 hair transplant plastic surgeons do the FUT method (www.ahrsindia.com) . FUE, on the other hand, is the oldest method, renamed due to commercial compulsions as FUE- just like old wine in a new bottle. The punch technique has been in vogue in dermatologic practice for more than a century. However, with modern innovations and the use of Dr James Harris’ Safe Scribe System, results from FUE are turning out to be good too. However, FUE is restricted in its use since it can be carried out in a distinct coterie of hair loss people only.

Highlights of Dr Tejinder Bhatti’s “FLUTE COMBO” TECHNIQUE-

For less than 3500 grafts, Dr Tejinder Bhatti does the FUE technique since with such less grafts, the back hair does not look less dense. For 3500- 5500, he prefers the FUT in the first stage and FUE as a top up with variations in technique. This way up to 6000-8000 grafts can be transplanted in one single session just from the scalp without the tell tale signs showing! There are hardly any scars with FUT and ‘FLUTE COMBO’. When FUE is done for a large area, the hair at the back gets sparse and looks good only with a buzz cut. With a FUT (strip) the scar is hardly visible as a fine line if the procedure has been done by an experienced plastic surgeon. Dermatologists and some plastic surgeons who do not devote all their time to hair transplant surgery, seldom like the FUT method since-

1. They may not be trained in superior advanced plastic surgical techniques.
2. They cannot invest heavily in the hair laboratory required for the FUT and ‘FLUTE COMBO’ method since their practice does not have space for a single procedure like hair transplantation.
3. They are not “Hair Transplant alone” plastic surgeons and are more busy with other procedures and leave the work of graft harvest and plantation to their staff since FUE can be done by non-medical staff due to the simplicity of the procedure.
4. FUT and ‘FLUTE COMBO’ method requires a minimum of 8 highly trained medical staff members, whereas FUE requires just 3.
