Hi Lorenzo, Good point mentioning that I should wait to see how my results go. I have to say though that I went to NHI in Athens after being recomended by a friend who was a past patient (about two years ago). I'm hoping that my results will be as good as his were!! I'll log in to this site every few weeks and let everyone know how it's going. I don't like all the negative comments flying around the site, I'm guessing that a lot of people find this site when they are worried and are looking for advice. If someone has had a bad experience they should go back to the clinic to discuss. Like you, my comments and opinions are 100% mine. If people are considering this procedure they should ask to meet with past patients and then consider their decision.

I have had a procedure done with Malcolm at NHI and also a great american guy called jeff who looks after you over in Athens , two of the nicest guys i have ever met.

My results are amazing i had the 6000 grafts done and i now have a full head of hear and i am only at 6 months level , its supposed to take 12 months to grow, so look forward to growing more hair,apparently my hair has grown too quickly but im not complaining, instead of the normal 3 day stay - i decided to stay in athens for 3 weeks- amazing time with jeff and malcolm- great guys- and great results - some of the stuff on here people have wrote must be off competitors because im am very happy, and i was very thin on top- i keep my hair to no 2 all over now and i can go swimming, shower every day its great - i got conned into a unit piece for two years, just living a lie and very awkward, nobody could tell but i was always very conscious with wearing it- I would recommend anyone to NHI - I am very happy with my results and lucky cos i dont need second procedure!

Hi guys,

I said I'd tell you how things were progressing. I had my op with NHI in Athens almost 3 months ago. At this stage I can just see some fine hairs coming through so I guess it's still early days yet... One thing that's really good is that the scar is almost invisible as my hair is pretty short at the back. So all in all a good experience so far. After reading the previous post (Dean) I'm hoping that I'll be doing as good as him at 6 months. Jon

Hi Jon,

Glad you are doing well after the NHI experience - Im almost at 6 mths since procedure in Athens at the end of jan 09 , more hairs are now coming through as malcolm and co promised, and also my hair seems to be getting a lot thicker by the minute, it was quite wispy within first three months, but i shaved it at no1 for first 3 months, im now letting it grow on top and it looks great now, looking forward to the next six months for more again, i have a full head of hair and front hairline back, but looking forward to it getting even more dense ,but happy even if it stays as it is because that unit system i had as they call it was like wearing a hat !lol!if you would like some pictures of my development email me on lmaximus77@aol.com - Would like to see how you are getting on too- Patience is key to all this , it doesnt grow overnight - its like starting as a baby all over again once you have had the transplants, and thats normally 12 months full growth wait!

Regards

Dean

Hi Sean, Hope this helps !

I had my procedure done in Athens c/o malcolm NHI July 7th 2008 with the Choi technique which gets the hairs closer together and in turn gives you more density than the normal procedures in the UK plus its so much more expensive in the UK, I am over the moon - i must admit though i was so scepticle,so i went to see first an ex patient of NHI in wales and was impressed and thats what made me take the plunge,i had 6,000 hairs on a transplant done in athens and instead of the normal 3 day stay NHI take care of , I decided to make a holiday of it and stayed 3 weeks in Athens.
My situation was that i went very thin on top via stress and i ended up wearing a unit which is a bit like wearing a hat - wont mention the company that supplied it, but you dont take it off for a swim or shower - and after 6 months i now have a full head of hair but i still have another 6 months to wait for full growth, the key to this is patience , its not an overnight thing, i shaved my head to no1 for first 3 months whilst i was getting growth through and then nobody knows - I had a full head of hair from day 1 it looks a bit like 4 day stubble on your face, and now i have more density i am growing it more on top now,im very pleased with my hair - Now i just worry about bills not my hair anymore! i would therefore highly recommend NHI to you - But it also depends what your expectations are - Mine were very high- I wanted my hair line back and all my hair- i expected and told NHI c/o Malcolm what i wanted and he said that it can be done, and it has been done ! if you want some pics of my progress and results at 6 months -just email me - no probs - got pics right up to 5 mths - will get some done at 6 mths now to send to you, can also show you me at pre-op day ! i have seen some silly comments put on this forum, glad i only found this forum after i had the procedure done - the bottom line is see an ex patient , and thats the only way you can be sure - i dont think i would of gone for it had i not seen the results - also malcolms hair is a very good advert cos hes had the choi done and his hair is amazing, he consulted me at hotel in london after i had seen an ex-patient and he then cemented what i already new ! SEE AN EX PATIENT THEN DECIDE!

Please dont go anywere near Malcolm Mendelsohn at NHI Greece or former company DHI Athens . I have a large scar from the surgery I recieved there ( 6 inches by 2 inches ) and the grafts did not go . Bill Rassman at NHI Clinics USA or Bernstien medical New York are the world leaders , you only have a small amount of donor hair therefore it is vital you get it right ! . The Choi is not as accurate as a skilled surgeons hand and it is my Independent and ex patients opinion , any success at NHI Greece is down to more luck than skill and expertise . Feel free to email me for Photos of the scars I still have from NHI, avoid them , get on a plane to New York incorporate your transplant into a short break holiday do not risk any UK Clinic it is a sad fact that the UK is light years behind the states , unfortunatly thats the situation for the forseeable future .

What a load of bollox. I had a consult with M Mendlesohn a few years back and the alarm bells started ringing immediately. I have heard nothing positive about this clinic or the choi method. Here is the blurb from their website: 'The Choi Implanter method of hair restoration surgery is internationally accepted as the gold standard in the treatment of premature hair loss'. If this is the case, then why are other clinics not using it?
Despite top clinics, and in in fact most of the clinics in the world suggesting that it is wise to wait at least a year for results, here we have 2 guys who have a full head of hair after 6 months. Fantastic- then where are these guy's photos?

Hey Jon, hey Dean, How's life in Shills-ville?

I went to DHI in Greece too, and now I get mistaken for a lion I have so much hair, unfortunately i'm often chased by zoo keepers and spend most of my time on tranquillisers while waking up behind bars

Malcolm Mendelsohn will also suck you off while you are being operated on, DHI Rock, yeahhhhhhhhh

Im not sure whos placing these comments, must be a very jealous competitor, I had a procedure last July 2009 and i am so happy with NHI, MY HAIR IS GREAT NOW, I have another 6 months of growth, and thank god they took me out of one of these units, toupes from Advance studios and i now wash my own hair everyday now - I HAD THE FULL 6000 HAIRS at NHI and both Malcolm and Jeff are very genuine people with a great product, they only use one surgeon in Athens and I have personally seen all the results with guys in person, I didnt take it lightly because talk is cheap,and you cant see my scar and i havent been able to find anyone elses scar either, i seen a lot of people first before i had it done, i have never seen a bad example yet, and NHI are now guaranteeing their work.

Their seems to be a bit of a witch hunt at moment because NHI in Athens are bringing in big results - I have also heard someone bad mouthing Jeff over his american smooth accent, get over it, hes a nice guy and someone is now chastising someone over their accent?? when you dont even know the guy, as for malcolm doing a consult in the back of a car- In my experience the people i met are very secretive over their hair transplant and not all of them want people to know, none of the people closest to me know, so maybe thats what someone requested, as long as the result is right, give people what they want , this is a bad way to get business though, i have seen NHI@S office in the UK , but mostly they use top hotels at a central point and the clinic that they use in Athens is very nice, anyway good luck to all whoever you go with, If you want to go with NHI ask NHI to see one of their past UK patients, that doesnt lie
