Malcolm

I notice you have posted a reply to my public profile page and also your own.

In the interest of transparency I think it is also appropriate to have it here in this thread.

Please could you link to it or post here also

Regards

I had my first transplant in 2011.  My marriage was on the rocks and I was low.  I was almost bald apart from a Tin Tin tuft on the top of my head.  Wayne Rooney had just had his transplant and I thought ok why not?  Malcolm came round to my house on a hot sunny afternoon and changed my life.  An hour later I had signed up for my first FUE in Athens and that was that.  

I went over and took my two young daughters with me and I had my procedure while they played in the pool at the the hotel we stayed in.  Malcolm picked us up from the airport and looked after us the whole time.  Yes I was nervous, and yes a little sceptical when I met him but let me tell you, he is kind, gentle, sincere and caring.  He took me back to the airport after my procedure and looked after me at a time in my life when I could have very easily been abused by sharks.

Since then I have had two more procedures and the results are what you see in my photo.  My last procedure was in 2014 and I can honestly say it's been the best money I have ever spent.  Fotis (the surgeon the previous guy was slagging off) is professional and conscientious.  And although his comments during anaesthetic may have seemed inappropriate I know that he will have only been trying to relax the patient and put them at ease.  if you would like to see picture of me before my procedures then I'm happy to share.  

I was almost completely bald before I met Malcolm and my self esteem was on the floor.  I think Malcolm and Fotis are offering the most comprehensive and affordable hair restoration package there is.  Best results for your money? - yes, definitely.   I wouldn't consider going anywhere else.  Barry Goode (a very happy customer AND now friend of the legendary Mr Malcolm Mendelsohn).

I get into London every Wednesday and Friday and work around the Holborn / Chancery Lane area. Give me a call on my mobile 0779 668 6247 and we can arrange a meeting to answer any questions you might have and to assess your suitability for surgery.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Barry

I think shock loss is fairly common and usually grows back in time.

1 year time is when i would arrive at a conclusion. Get some pictures up then we can see what, and where you are

all the best

ej

I think Spex is reasonable in what he has said. Why would you make a statement and back it up with no pictures? When i had a disastrous result with a coalition dr the first thing I did was post pics whilst requesting help and advice .

Hi David I hope all is good

You have come along way with your repair you look great!

I read a while back that Doctor Ball uses hyperthermasol as a holding solution for grafts.

If I remember correctly he said he was suprised more docs didnt use it as it increases yield considerably.

Have you found this to be the case not only for yourself but in general with your clients?

All the best

ej

Thank you so much for getting back to me, apologies for my late response, I appreciate your detailed reply.

That's a big worry, that you had that terrible experience! Im glad you're in a better place now.

I feel very unsure who to trust now, although I am trying to read through this forum. Being in the uk its very expensive here

 

 

No worries Fahri. I think you have to really put the time in and research the procedure. There is no rush and you want to get it right first time. Brussells has some great docs, and is easy to get to from the UK flights or eurostar. You could set up a couple of consultations and spend a day there, get some real feedback.

 

Dont rush into anything and put some pictures up that may help also

 

All the best

It seems to me, to be a difficult job for a tech to plant 1k grafts into a graft site, that is bleeding and healing.

Do you think the `stick and place` technique would be more suitable overall for fue?

Nice video look forward to the updates

All the best

I would avoid at all costs. Mendelsohn has spent the last few years cleaning up his image online. There used to be pages of negative comments about him, however due to the new data protection laws I believe he has spent time getting most of it removed.

My own experience of him was that of a car `salesman` who told me i had the donor for 3k grafts via fue. He then showed me a video of himself having the fue procedure.

He suckered me in as I was young and naive. When I got to Greece the Dr took two strips either side of my head leaving me with massive scars and little growth.

Fortunately Dr Bisanga managed to improve my situation with beard fue

I remember Mendelsohns Doctor who he described as a `top man` every time he went to use anesthesia he said to me quote "say thank you dr" whilst the techs stood about laughing.

On my return I knocked on Malcolms door and he gave me some money back as basically I was not leaving, if you know what I mean.

The man is an utter scumbag, and not to be trusted, he hides away in Greece now

The man is best avoided, use the search function on this site go back a few years.

He has not managed to eradicate his shameful past on this forum

Ps.. I keep seeing and hearing about this place "anatomica"

This post on here the guy only paid $2000 for 4800 grafts with post op and early stage results looking very good!

I would look at Erdogan or Ozgur at HLC Ankara

Erdogan seems to be knocking out great results one after the other and only heard good things about HLC and Ozgur also

All the best man

ej

HLC seem to be one of the best in Turkey. They have a lot of body beard hair repair work on you tube. Use stick and place and hyperthermosol holding solution looks like they get

great growth would like to see more of their results on here

He was arguing against points I never made. I stated that I acknowledge the causal relationship between various sides and fin three times but he kept attacking saying I didn't understand the data, then arguing what I'd already said and proceeding to call me an idiot. He also kept arguing that percentages weren't relevant and only the fundamental null hypothesis of the review determining a link between variables mattered which is blatantly false. Percentages matter 100% from the perspective of anyone looking to take the drug, not just a causal relationship.

 

We'd already established your mind isn't particularly nuanced so I don't expect much but to avoid more embarrassment try actually looking at what the arguments being made are, rather than just jumping on whatever side I'm against.

Oh please ... give it up you are embarrassing. The above is your modus operandi. You claimed I made statements that I never made, on the thread you claim you `ruined` me in .......

You know the one you took hours out of your day to trawl through youtube with ten year old results from a doctor you do not like, to try and discredit him.

Only to then get totally owned by a happy patient of that doctor who posted to say how `happy` he was ..... You know first hand experience, actual patient experience, happy with his outcome overjoyed in fact!!! That resulted in zero comment from you because just like 10x12x42 owned you ......

You got totally owned .....

He's just sore I ruined him in another thread when he praised Dr. W00ds horrible work and enjoys me getting attacked from all angles.

Pah ! It is amusing though seeing you get torn a new one by 10x12x6

If it was a boxing bout it would have been stopped ages ago

What did you learn from this thread that you didn't know coming in? I don't feel like anything new was said, it's the same ole info, which quickly degenerated into insults from both sides.

I did not say I had learnt anything from this thread. What I did say was that there

is some good information within this thread, perhaps that may be useful for someone reading and considering medication.

Not really, I think there is some good info within this thread. Also exposes a couple of people who think they know it all and clearly do not

I think you have made a sensible decision. This Doc has many documented repair cases. I would not worry about names on forums, I think a few forums have docs names that flag up for one reason or another.

Good luck with your repair and update here with BIGGER pictures as it helps others who may unfortunately be in a similar position

Take it easy

ej

The majority I showed weren't repair cases. I specifically don't think he should have a consultation in Australia because as a noob patient there's a possibility he gets suckered into the marketing of the clinics he goes to a consult with, makes a bad decision and ends up butchering himself. In particular I wouldn't trust a consult of W00ds because his beliefs and results are way out of wack with the rest of the industry, the information he receives is unlikely to be helpful. What can "realistically be achieved" is dependent on the skill of the surgeon, which is low in the case of W00ds and therefore his commentary on that potential is going to be low.

 

Honestly OP, I would strongly recommend you don't waste time with a consult with any Australian clinic and stick with Erdogan. If you want some other options for extra opinions, consult Lorenzo and Lupanzula who are also in Europe, but they're quite a bit more expensive.

 

"Perhaps this doctor turns away 21 year olds who want 3500k grafts into their hairline, who knows?"

 

Also what is noble about this? A surgeon who is unwilling to perform an aggressive hairline restoration on ANY patient in their early twenties is simply not confident in their abilities as a surgeon, or purely focused on reputation via virtue signalling. There is no logical reason to think this. Americans can join the army and risk their lives at seventeen years old, the idea that a guy in their early twenties on finasteride (85% chance of maintenance of baseline to at least 10 years) can't accept the risks of a hair transplant to undertake an aggressive hairline restoration like a guy in their 30s is absurd.

The highlighted text is exactly why the OP should not listen to somebody like you. If anyone could direct me to the `ignore member` button I would be grateful

ej

Come on, do you work for this clinic? Why did you not go there if they are so great?

 

Many of this cases are not repairs and the results posted by the clinic (!) are horrble. Way to few grafts. Very uneven Distribution... It also says "before and after". It does not say "Half way through".

I am happy with my hair thank you, and if I worked for any clinic then I would disclose it as the forum rules request, if you had taken the time to read them then you would know this.

What I did say was this clinic was worth a `consult` as it can only benefit the op, and give him valuable info, density available, courseness of his hair, overall donor quality, predicted pattern of loss etc and what can realistically be achieved. It is strange that you would attack me for this ?

The results regardless of what you think are very good considering the low number of grafts used. Plenty of donor left for the future if needed and small sessions to maximise yield. I suspect half of the `cherry picked` videos to be repair work and without the doctors or clients input we do not know. What we do know is that repair work seems to have a better yield with `smaller sessions` due to micro-scarring and poor vascularity

I am curious as to why someone would take the time and effort to trawl through a doctors results on youtube to `cherry pick` the majority of repair cases and then present them whilst not posting a comparable case that was also there, of 3500 k grafts fue? The client `leo` has had 3500k fue into zones 1,2,3,4 a norwood 5, he has exceedingly good results and a great yield. Perhaps this doctor turns away 21 year olds who want 3500k grafts into their hairline, who knows?

I have never heard of him to be honest. Seems he offers other procedures also, which would concern me as not solely doing hair restoration. Also quotes in hairs not grafts which I find can be misleading.

As I said earlier I would consult with one doc in oz.

Looking at your pictures I would see how a shorter style looked, I honestly do not think you need a transplant at this time your hair looks good from what I can see.

Yes, really!

 

I know that this was a misquote, as I am also in the other thread. This quote was from the user "Superdudeo". But I do not care for this personal topics.

 

What I care for are results, and these results are bad! And not bad because of bad growth, which even the best clincs have 1 out of 100 times. The planning is bad from the begin with. And these are handpicked results of the clinic showcasing their best results. Please ....

No they are not, one case is a repair with `2000 fue chest hair`to compare these results to what other clinics showcase is ridiculous!

It is like comparing apples and oranges. Most of these videos are repair procedures, an extremely difficult procedure from the outset.

Neither of us know if this is the finished result or well planned repair work to maximise the yield over several procedures ..... result pending, either way the clients are in a much better place

Jean is sometimes "very straight Forward" but in this case he is spot on! Do not (!) go to this clinics. If these are published results (=their best results), I have a hard time to imagine what the worst cases look like. This is not state of the art, period.

Really ? He has mis-quoted me.

Most of these videos are repair procedures. No doctor is a miracle worker and for the number of grafts used there appears to be a big improvement.

We also remain unaware if any of these are a finished result or a work in progress. Often repair procedures are staged in several small sessions to give the best possibilty for graft survival and yield as vascularity in scar tissue is often compromised and needs to be reestablished.

Pure semantics.

 

Either way, W00ds isn't a competent surgeon by 2018 standards.

Wrong again on both points

nope ......... not that time

You need to re read what I actually said

oh dear .......... you really do shoot from the hip dont you !
