spex,of course pics are needed that is why dr feller and yourself post photos of your patients.as for assesment in person if that person was neutral and not working for another dr it might be acceptable.as for dr rogers, pat has just reviewed his clinic and has said with a bit of fine tuning could be world class.he hasnt visited the wellesbourne.

Well its apparent Dazzauk doesn't feel his result is world class.

Whats this got to do with what Dr Feller and i do with regards to displaying patient photos.I previously suggested not whether pics were needed but whether or not they would accurately highlight his situauion.

Quote:
Are dazzauk's pictures going to be clear enough for you to clarify and determine the standard of the work previous performed on him or would it maybe better for someone to have actually seen him in person to assess the level of work though?
If you feel my opinion isn't a valid one then thats fine but i have actually seen and aided many people with their HT's.
My point is I have seen dazzauk in person and seen his HT - The HT he is unhappy with and personally wants repairing. Regardless of the fact i am assosiated with Dr Feller - my assessment of Dazza's situation would be the same if i didn't work for him. My assessment of his situation was done in person therefore more accurate than pics,(often is the case) Do you feel your HT is more accurately represented in person than on your pics? .

Dazzauk is in his own words is seeking repair work - This is a FACT. It's his personal opinion. Its his HT.

Hopefully his pictures when he sends them over to me will enable you and others to see what concerns him. If the pictures do not clearly highlight it enough for you and YOU still feel its satisfactory regardless of Dazza's opinion - maybe you could meet him to give your assessment of his HT. Maybe you might think it is good?? I persoanlly agree with Dazza's opinion that it needs repairing and by the sounds of it so does Jotronic at HW. Jotronic is a very reliable, honest judge IMO.

This is my opinion - I work for Dr Feller but many think my opinion is an honest, experienced and credible one.

What work is Rogers? what work is Wellsobourne ?i could not tell you. The FACT is the entire frontal area is in need of further work in MY opinion to refine/repair/ dazzauk's situation. This is dazza's opinion also.

Hi everyone, I havent posted on here for a long time... since I had my repair with Dr Feller (this was in Dec06).

I can only tell you that I had a very bad experience with Nobel Hair Clinc in UK. I also know of other guys that have been left with equally bad results.

They took a fairly big strip and I have been told from that size scar, they would have removed at least 1500 grafts! But, all they gave me was 200! and I presume the rest were thrown in the dustbin as scrap! This is something I am totally gutted about and I have lost a great deal of self confidence about for years.

I am now 7 months post op (repair) and things are looking up! I didnt even know there were any world class Dr's in USA?! I was so upset about my situation and it was getting worse... well.. tbh... I was looking for some last help on the internet as I was suffering very bad depression and i wasnt in a good way at all... thats all i will say.

But I can show you a few pics of my Nobel UK surgery... and also below is my repair so far as I am approaching 7 months next week.

After the UK surgery..I was left with terrible scar tissue that I still have and will never lose! There 'results' left me with what looked like pubic hair on my hairline and every hair was pointing a different direction and very thick and uncontrolable.. the donor area was a thick scar from ear to ear (it making me a bit upset even thinking about it as i type this)







My repair work has been slow but this is mostly down to all the scar tissue slowing this new growth down I think. But I'm almost at 7 months after Dr Feller repaired my bad UK work. I had 3100 grafts in the front half and also my scar with 80-90% repaired with a couple of small areas that I will FUE to fill the gaps.. but also my scar has stretched a bit since.

This was post op..



This is me at the moment at 7 months..











I feel it is only right to share my experience with you guys who are considering having your HT in the UK! as mine ruined my life and I would only say to anyone considering a HT.. please just buy a plane ticket and go to USA or Canada. I havent even been on a plane since I was a little kid and did the whole journey alone, and even though I was a bit nervous to start with travelling this far. I quite enjoyed the experience and I actually saved money as the currency rate is so good.

Hope this is useful to someone.. and I wish you the best in your judgement. I am not 'Pro' any top USA/CANADA clinic... there are some great HT dr's there and the choice has to be personal and your own, but your results will be superb if you chose wisely. But I am anti-UK clinics as I have seen and talked to other guys that have been treated just as badly or worse than me.

Take care guys.

ok now we are getting somewhere.thanks dazza,but without the befores of each ht we cant put your current situation into perspective.i agree it does look quite see through at the front in some pics can you tell us who did what and when?badhair that was criminal what nobel did and im glad you have a result now,but what i am forever trying to get across is that you will get bad clinics anywhere and you cant rule out a whole nation on the results of one or two.i always hear bosley being rubbished does this mean you shouldnt have surgery in america so go to canada?

You know, Balody has a good point there! Can you imagine a couple of guys coming from Europe after having seen a Bosley commercial? They get one of the HUNDREDS of inexperienced doctors employed by that company, and return home scarred, angry, broke, and end up with terrible results six months later. Well, Bosley is HUGE in the US right, as is MHR? So as far as these guys and all their friends and family know, DO NOT go to the US for txplant; they are butchers. ??

Also, badhairUK, you have more fortitude than I young man. Why? Because you are here writing instead of in prison for assault with intent to kill. I am very happy that you were able to overcome the emotional side effects of what they did and persevere to get it repaired. Congratulations!

And with dazzauk, regardless of what his "before" pics look like, got screwed. Period. I hope he can also get that fixed. Good luck to you wherever you chose to have surgery.

Thanks balody, I can understand that you want to see more bad UK work. (I havent seen any good work yet from UK!) I have seen more than I need to see to tell me, I am not a one off incident. But I dont want to go into this in detail as it would take a while or mention other people that may not want to be spoken about.

In some respect, I was lucky to have not gone back like many guys do that are told they need more work to 'improve it'! This is shocking! They lose all there donor hair and end up without any posibility of a USA/CANADA repair! (when I say USA/CANADA... I am presuming we all know the best Dr's in these countries! I havent named names purely as i dont know if I should, but in this case.. Dr Feller or Hasson & Wong would be either of my choices if I was looking and new to this, of course there are others which are very good but some which are not like Bosley!)

So.. I have something to be grateful for.. but inside... I am far from grateful for what they did to me OR to other people.

There are only 2 clinics in the UK that have any remote chance of not leaving you worse off. The 2 I have read and seen in the UK are Farjo and Rogers. The better of these 2 I would say would be Farjo but this is only better of these 2 in the UK! Rogers seems an ethical dr.. but the results have not been good from hearing about them at 'repair' consulation meetings! and hardly ANY evidence of any of his results.. THIS IS A WARNING SIGN!

Compared to the high quality work in USA/CANADA.. the HT skill of the Dr's is in a different league there!

This is just my own opinion though. If you would like to have a UK HT.. its all about your own personal goal... But why an earth would anyone take this risk? It just doesnt make any sence when there are the best Dr's waiting and you know your in safe hands from the 1000's of posts from successful patients on these forums.

I wish everyone the very best... sorry to type so much..

Take care.

Thanks for this reply, yes.. it had crossed my mind.. but I dont like porridge much! I didnt even care about losing my money! (at the time) I just felt like a freak and hid away from friends for years and years!

Thanks for sharing your photos mates.

Best of luck to each of you.

I DO wish that better results were being turned out in the UK.

We are watching a case by Rogers right now that at 6 months has 10% growth and obviously poor angulation.

There a many others out there if one wants to look hard enough, and regardless of what someone thinks, the proof is in the results.

I feel the same about India, Pakistan, Australia, Ireland, etc, etc, etc..
(with the exception of Woods, but who wants to deal with him?)

Just make sure you see many patients in person if you have doubts--- that will answer your questions for the most part.

Take Care,
J
