I underwent it in 2005 by a dr kevin hartly a very incompatent surgen to say the least. i only just realised it last year when i under went f.u.e. with dhi i contacted the norton clinc but they wernt interested they had had my cash! i have no plans as of yet to have it done as i am in the process of taking legal action against the clinc like may others. I have also made a complaint to the healthcare commission. anyone thinking of surgery should rule the norton clinic out strght away.

Hey allen

Firstly I'm from the north east , well east yorkshire anyway bud , and I'm glad to hear you have had a further and more sucessful surgery with dhi with a fue proceedure , have you any pics of your recent revision/repair ?

Your scar does look very low , is it that low in reallity ?

Have you got any more pics of your scar from differing angles ? as balody's scar also looked very low , however he has assured us that this is not the case in reallity and is just the angle of the photograph and his scar is well within the safety zone .

balody quote
"my scar is slightly under the bump,that photo is alittle misleading.
when i buzz my hair that short it always takes that lower hair away to nothing while leaving the hair higher up on show.i dont know if this is due to my weird shape head(peanut head at school)or to my weird donor.
now it has grown there is a lot of hair under the scar,also the scar looks wider in the pics due to the shaving process"

This can be seen in the comparative pics below , is this the case with your scar ?
allen left / balody right


Have you had your fue into the scar as a revision or have you had a repair done to your poor norton work ?

Badhairuk has recently undergone a repair after a bad plug job done by nobel , yet another notorious UK clinic , check it out bud , here's a link

http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.co...d.php?t=143259

Allen with your surgery only done in 2005 lets hope the UK clinics are working on improving there techniques however this is another example of very poor work .

As all newbies should be aware research is the key to finding a top surgeon to avoid this type of terrible result .

Good luck with your second proceedure , I hope you will post pics of your progress

richie,i would appreciate you not using my photos without my permission in the future.
it is clear you have put these side by side to yet again mislead any"unknowing" reader into thinking my scar is similar to that of allans,it isnt.
i should have expected this as it was brought up by one of the others on pb,s site last week,only a matter of time before it made its way here to tell the truth im doubting now if "allan"wasnt put on here just to bring my scar into question.
if so,what a sucker i am.

Richie,

In looking at the picture you posted above, I do agree that Balody's scar looks quite low. But when you compare that picture to the many scar shots he has on his hair loss weblog, is scar looks very normal and quite good in my opinion.

Allan,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. If there is anything we can do to help you or direct you, please let us know.

Best wishes,

Bill
