An interesting case (Hair Transplant)

posted by marco, U.K, 09.05.2007, 14:18

I am sorry to detract from the intended theme of the post but this patient raises the most important question for us. He has had 3000 strip graft and probably 1500-2000FUE and almost no growth. The strip and FUE were done in the last 5 years (or less I think) judging from the type of insertion in the recipient. Regardless of when it was done there is virtually no growth, a load of white dot scars a strip scar and an exhausted donor region. How do we protect against this happening to us when ALL surgeons detail their successes but no one highlights the percentage that and up like this. How can we believe any surgeon when they do not let us know what the risk is of this happening. This comment is NOT directed at Dr. A clinic or any other individually. It is directed at all clinics. Dr.Avind, Dr. Umar, Dr. cole and Dr.Woods have all had a share of failures from my investigation but these are only discussed if the patient highlights them or if the Dr. shows a failure that came from another clinic. All surgeons do this and not only hair transplant surgeons. It is a disgrace but especially in the HT industry since there are only a few shots for the patient before it is difficult to correct! Again this is not directed at Dr. A's clinic any more than any other.
