John, you are justifiably angry--your results are sub-par and were done using outdated techniques.

I want to give you some good news however---you can be repaired--

You look to have excellent donor and in the hands of a top doctor your scar can be revised and the poor work in your hairline should be able to be disguised.

If your doctor made express warranties to you as to how your results would turn out, then you should contact an attorney and seek damages.

Take Care,
Jason

Hi John

Everybody here will understand the suffering you are going through. These results are bad. But worse cases have been repaired with great success. I understand your rage against the industry and you are at the right place to express yourself.
I strongly suggess you put all your efforts in searching for a solution to your problem and spend less energy in bashing the industry with the legal soup, otherwise you will loose most of us.
You are not beyond hope. You have a good donor hair, camouflage of your bad frontal work seems feasible by any one the top docs, they see guys like you all the time and even though they can't promess anything, they will try.
Your scar is low (I would say too low) and it tends to stretch for that reason but if done properly, with a lot of scalp exercices and a double layer closure and staples until the primary healing is done, there is a good chance a scar revision will make it better. Perfect? No. Better? I think so.

I wish you all the best.
There is a whole team behind you. Great doctors are regular posters to these forums and they will chime in if they have time. They are here to help.

Bullshit days are gone.
You came to the right place.

Keep the faith. Do not put too much destructive energy on this legal thing, and stay away from this doctor who did this. Look at Jotronic website for a good example of how bad can become good. Very important: notice his attitude. That was part of his success. Plenty of other repair cases are there. Ask them. Read. Read. Ask your questions. Everybody here is a hairloss sufferer. Some are pretty "rude" in their comments but most will offer help for nothing in exchange.

ITH

John36 - thanks for sharing your story. Sorry to hear about your experience w/ this doctor. On a positive note, you have some good things going for you. At 35, it looks as though you have a decent amount of native hair and your donor looks to be ample, having only used 1800+ grafts. I imagine getting into the chair again may be difficult due to lack of trust, but there are some amazing documented repair cases on this site, with the right doctor.

Are you on propecia/proscar yet? IMHO, the best, long-term results are those that are on the meds.

The mind is soo powerful, and as you're rightfully upset, there is definitely hope.

This case is EXACTLY why access to the US legal system is an overrated "benefit" of having surgery in the USA.

1.on the scale how strong do you suggess?
2.I eat "legal soup" for lunch and dinner (skip for breakfast)
3.don't patronize me,I am not a kid,so don't tell me what I should write and what not.Bullshit days are not over as long as they are not over.

you understand me Tom A.I don't seek symphaty and reall and/or false altruism by the forum.I simply tell them my story and and ask the questions which I posted before.
you stick arround please

I disagree.If it weren't for people like this poster posting his story many would be absorbed into the reality distortion field that is this industry. Whilst he may loose "most of us" as you stated he know doubt would gain many who want to read about his legal journey.

hi Optimus
