hi ..i was wondering whr dr armani is not recommended on this site?.he has performed a perfect ht for almost all celebs of bollywood..as i heard in their interview.but sadly he is not here.explain!!!!!!!!!!!

Armani is an incompetent surgery who runs a scumbag chain of hair clinics; his results suck, he charges a ton of money, and his ethics are borderline if not out-and-out criminal. Back in ancient times he was a pretty talented surgeon, but that is in the rear-view mirror, a part of ancient history, and pretty inconsequential. IMO, of course.

Rayne, you still considering a HT? Who are you narrowing your search down to?

Enough is enough! Give me documentation or give me death!

thanks thanatopsis_awry but is there any victim of armani who can explain more.god bless u all

I'm a victim.

Dont believe what you see on his web-site is what you'll get, trust me!!! I had a procedure in Oct 07 and i'm positive i didn't get as many grafts as agreed, plus the result was nothing short of terrible. I was meant to have my procedure on a day that turned out to be a Candadian Bank Holiday and i turned up at the clinic and it was closed. I had travelled all the way from the UK!!! I was 'fitted' in the next day and the whole experience was horrible. There is no personal touch to what he does and i honestly believe its money first.

I contacted the surgery to let them know i wasn't happy with the results and i got NOWHERE. I had my procedure on the same day as another guy from the UK who i have kept in-touch with. He too did not acheive a good result. Coincidence, i think not!!

I had a second HT in March 09 with Dr Feller and the difference was night and day. Dr Feller is genuinely interested in you as a patient and what your going through regarding losing your hair. I fully believe he is results driven and of course he'll tell you himself the money is good but its not what he's all about. I'm 3 months and nine days post-op and you can't see the scar with my hair at grade 4 and i'm experiencing early growth.

By the way, when i went to Dr Armani for my first HT i was told he was no longer offering the FUT and it was all FUE, which granted is his choice but for the customer makes the whole thing much more expensive .... All about the money.

Everything i have written is FACT.

Armani sues all his patients that threaten to go public with horrible results .
From what Ive heard hes currently suing several guys that have requested their money back.

I know that this site has steered alot of guys away from him and it needs to continue.
STAY AWAY FROM ANTONIO ARMANI!!!!!!!! You have a good chance of your life being destroyed .
Not only is he a horrible fue surgeon but hes very sneaky and downright evil.
I say evil because what doctor sues his own patients after he ruins their life
He also still does strip secretly on patients with failed fue.

When Armani did strictly strip surgery and did patients himself he was respectable, probably on par with Hasson & Wong or Dr. Alexander, when he switched over to the highly overrated FUE he turned into a money pit, he falsely uses results achieved via strip surgery as examples of FUE.

He is overpriced and is known to over do dense packing, likely an effort to charge more and to compensate for a less than desirable result from FUE.

FUE can really tear up a donor area if done incorrectly and it never achieves the density of strip in one procedure.

Armani is a rich man's Bosley, sexy sales pitch, groomed pitchmen whom he did STRIP on, trumped up prices from an average doctor that depletes your donor area.

He preys off young men with minor hair loss.
Notice none of his photos of clients show long term results, only youthful ones, meaning he mainly fills in maturing hairlines in norwood 2 and 3.

Why is he not recommended? Well I saw a video on youtube of a patient in his 20s who got 4200 grafts placed in his temples. That should give you an idea of Armanis ethics. (imagine what that will look like in 15 years)

hi I had a small session at Armani in 2002, this was before they move to the location on Bay Street. Frankly I can't say I was satisified. Two things were questionable ??“

1) while he was taking out grafts he let another "doctor" take over. I ask him why and he says he's a very experienced surgeon. That's not comforting at all ??“ I have absolutely no idea who he was and I was not told beforehand - I believe I was "practice time" for this doc.
2) towards the end, I had grafts left in the fridge but Armani said I was done. While he was out of the room the assistant said there was more in the fridge they'll try to get as much done as possible before Armani comes back.
Take number 2 with a pinch of salt as I could not verify if it was true, I could only infer.

I had 800 grafts done but it doesn't look like 800 on my head. The hairline was nice, I just didn't appreciate the handling.

I just learned about this site as I'm doing research for my next set of transplant. I found this site and have heard some really bad vibes about Armani. So I've decided to share my bit.

Hi Mo-Osaki, I'm a bit surprised, because as far as I know Dr. Armani was not performing Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) back in 2002. Or was he?

Can you specify which method he used? And what you mean by "taking out grafts"? (was he using a scalpel to extract a strip, or a tool to extract individual follicular groups).

How much were you charged for 800 grafts?

Also, how long did the extraction of the hair last? (half an hour? half a day?) and how long did the whole procedure last?

Finally, was the last name of that other doctor (that was taking out grafts as well, as you say) Rahal?

Thanks Mo-Osaki

Which Indian-film actors have come out and said they've received hair transplants by Dr. Armani? Can you post a link to one of the interviews you mention?
