He had only a consultation with Dr Malay Mehta and passes on what an unnamed patient he met there told him, so this is secondhand. According to that patient, extraction was not entirely by the doctor and slit making and implantation were mainly by technicians, though the doctor designed the hairline; the patient also felt the graft count might be inflated on paper but said his overall experience was good. He gives no verdict of his own and plans to reassess after a year.
