I totally agree with the comment 'And Hair Transplantation field, is not a Contest of which doc is gonna win the prize, but a surgical procedure that aims for lifetime satisfaction for the patient, and this is what only matters'. It was therefore my intention to provide people with feedback on my personal experience so that they could do the right research and avoid making the mistake that I made and the disappointment that followed (and from reading previous posts on this blog i appear not to be the only one!). I think it is imperative that anyone looking to have a procedure, find a surgeon suitable to them to help achieve a result that would provide lifetime satisfaction. In my opinion, the outcome of any bad procedure is as much the patients fault for not having done the right research as it is the surgoens fault for not having performed to an acceptable standard (in mu case this was Armani).
Regarding any blame culture in the profession, while I am not surprised that it may be the case, in my particular case I can attest to the fact that my recipient area from the last procedure is badly damaged (hard, dry, peeling, almost like a burn scar) to which end I do not think any doctor saying that a second corrective procedure will very likely be difficult (although not impossible) vs grafting into virgin scalp, is telling me anything far from the truth.
Finally, just for the record, I have not mentioned the name of my last doctor to any of the sugeons I have seen regarding a follow up.
Wish you all a happy and hair abundant 2011.
