Rugger

Well buttercup...I can't speak for everyone here, but there sure seem to be plenty of photos about huge scars, cobblestoning, bad hairlines, etc...call it butchering, or bad surgical skills, or someone just not skilled in the more modern aspects of follecular unit hair transplants and lateral slit philosophy, which seems to be the gold standard regardless of whether you harvest donor hair by strip methods, or FUE.. i guess one could assume they have gotten a "good" hair transplant from almost anyone, until they have some perspective on the kind of quality HT's that are available out there...i'm certain that the "doll hair" look of the 70's and 80's was just fine for many people who had no hair, and no other choices...but things are different today...and follecular unit should be the only hair transplant method being practiced, in my opinion...sadly, thats not the case though..

buttercup... you bring up some very valid points...i think the majority of the really great surgeons dont need celebrity advertising...lower overhead, great reputation, etc...MHR is a big shop, with big overhead, national advertising budgets...makes sense for them to use celebrity advertising..im sure they didnt charge Boggs for his hair transplant..and im sure they promised to fix his HT if it ended up looking bad...but the smaller surgical outfits that are booked out three or months in advance, and can raise their rates, and STILL people flock to them, dont need additional advertising..their results speak for themselves... i guess the nice thing, is that with discussion boards like this, that the "consumer" becomes wiser, and his expectations higher..which is great as it forces out those who cant compete for the limited HT dollars we all have...hopefully, it allows these other surgeons to "raise their game" a little, and become more proficient and artistic.... again, if you like the job your surgeon did, thats all that really matters...

ok..a couple comments.... <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> They actually were able to cultivate 2,200 grafts from my donor area, which he said was almost unheard of. unheard of by whom??..perhaps to you its unheard of, but i assure you that 2200 grafts is now child's play to many HT docs...or maybe you haven't done your homework..there are quite a few instances of single sessions over 5000 grafts...mine was 4600.... <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> Also, if MHR is corrupt, why would a public figure like Wade Boggs agree to be a spokesperson for them? I met Wade during the summer at a game and he was happy to show me his results. Seems funny to me that a guy with his money, being a class act anyway, would choose to endorse a bad product. Not like he needs the money or the attention. why would Wade post for them?...hello!..the money !!...or dont you realize that celebrities get a tremendous amount of money for endorsing products??...and as far as a class act, I guess you dont recall your buddy Wade and his big public affair with a well known LA hooker... also, you didnt state whether you had follecular units done, or mini/micro grafts...I'm not sure if MHR does follecular units stuff..but you can tell the difference... bottom line though..is if you're happy with it, doesnt matter what anyone else thinks..then thats a good HT
