Very Bad Hair Transplant Experience

ORIGINAL POST

Very Bad Hair Transplant Experience

$4,800
Unethical doctor. I paid 4800 for 1000 to1500 grafts. He transplanted no more than 500 grafts according to hair transplant specialists I went to for a second opinion. He gave me a horrible hairline and tossed the rest of the piece of graft with many hair strands on it in the middle of him cutting the graft and said he always take more than he needs; my opinion is he was tired and didn't want to continue cutting the hair graft. Now I have to do another forehead lowering surgery and find a doctor specialized in hair transplant to hopefully get the result I want since my donor area is very limited. He did forehead lowering on me months ago before the hair transplant and I still ended it up with a high forehead. I have to restart these whole process over it is just now my options are very limited since he wasted a good amount of my hair donor area. I have to go to a specialist in Beverly Hills in form 2nd forehead lowering and pay another specialist for my hair transplant. Please do your homework before any surgery. I clearly trusted the wrong doctor.

Thank you for writing this post and warning others about this surgeon. Sorry that you had to endure this. Hopefully by you posting your experience with him no one else will have to waste money by going to this PS.
You welcome. I am glad you posted your reviews as well. He claimed under my google review that I fabricated things which is not true. Every single word I put under my google review is true. It was a horrible hair transplant experience I wouldn’t wish on anybody. Watching someone toss a piece of hair graft and later on e-mailing me after he read my reviews trying to convince me that I was seeing things( it is very laughable) but I don’t feel like laughing because I am left with the short end of the stick while he kept my money, screwed up my hair and hairline. I hope more dissatisfied patients post their story and help others. I wish someone did this for me about this person. I used to hold doctors in high regard until I met this “plastic surgeon”.
