I Used Bosley and Now I Regret It. - Chevy Chase, MD

ORIGINAL POST

I was told by their consultant I need 1200 grafts...

$7,000
I was told by their consultant I need 1200 grafts to cover the front area of my head. He said that should be enough to give you full density. We do the implementation in three, two and one graft to give a natural hair look. I agreed to pay $6200 but on the day of surgery the doctor told me I don't believe this is enough to cover the area in the front and the crown. He said you need 1400-1500 grafts. The consultant calculated the extra cost, I paid what they asked for hopping to get the results I want. 1/2 way through the procedure the doctor told me that he will not be able to do the front and back because again I need more grafts. What a shock? I said I did what you suggested and why are you telling me this now?. It was weird that I felt that guy is not a doctor and this place is nothing but a big scam. I said what are my options now? he quickly said we just do the front area and this way you will have great density and zero spaces between grafts... At this moment I felt sick of these people and wanted to get the hell out so I said fine just make sure to follow my line out of the desired areas in the front. He said don't worry it will be very nice and you will be very pleased. Six days after the procedures I was able to see the recipient area with single grafts scattered with big gabs between each one. There was no two or three grafts implementations as I was told. Just single hair strings and very poor density. I was very disappointed so i made an appointment with Dr. Jamal Yousef who is well know name in the industry in VA. He took a look and immediately said this is poor procedure. Who performed it? I said Bosley, he said sorry.

I never felt depressed and vulnerable as I felt that day.

Take my advise, avoid Bosley. They ruined my hair and my life.

Were you able to recover the cost? I had the same issue except it was with my eyebrows. He did a terrible job and asked me to go find a place to have it removed by laser. No one is willing to do it because its so close to my eyes :( I cam contacting corporate in Beverly Hills to see what could be done about it.

Sorry to hear about your bad experience. It's very frightening to be under the knife and to find out half way that you're being scammed in completing the procedure to satisfaction is beyond words. I detest Bosley as they only care about how much money they can rip off of you and not genuinely interested in the results. I've done some research with them and have noticed nothing but bad reviews. Hope everything turns out right for you in finding another doc to perform the corrections.
