im glad you put link to 5 months on there aswell because you can compare the 5 month with 11 and lets say for instants that the 5 month picture was night time with false light (can make head look better) then even so the 11 months look worse or no improvement than 5 months,apart from the redness to the scalp. it seems that i never got all the growth i should have as no1 gets 100% in 5 months, and the fact that it has not improved, proves that, as for the hairs you say look like beard hairs, i never had any beard hairs put there its down to the miss angled grafts from either Armani himself making the hole wrong or the tech placing the hair wrong, but there not beard hairs. i constantly have to chop them off every few days so try and make them less apparent as possible. things like wrongly facing grafts should not even come into place with such an experience doctor. all comments welcome about my pics

i dont even know why im bothering to respond to this are you serious about my 5 month pic???? first of all lets get a few things straight, Yes Armani did good results in the past and now still gets good results but at a cost, over packing areas risking scaring, and most importantly depleting the donor area, No i did not ask for a FULL refund i asked for a % of refund because of the poor results, *MY HAIR LOSS WAS MINIMAL before not like yours. and i asked for a % of refund to go towards a repair rather than letting them do the touch up which would of cost them anyway's. yes you seem to have nice results but very unnatural looking in my opinion but lets not go there, yes Bobby S is who i meant and i thought he was a really nice guy too although because i had issues i get told loads of bull and rubbish and excuse after excuse, but i guess hes just doing his job and i have no problems with him. Armani gave me a WONKY hairline its ridicules not evened out atall and because off overpacking one side i have wrongly facing hairs and scaring, Maybe i was just unlucky one and Armani was jet lagged and just made a mistake or maybe you got better Techs than me as 1 side of my hairline isnt too bad, Although its becoming thinner all the time and transplanted hairs are falling out. im hoping just seasonal but we will see. You have nice Thick Black hair which has benefits to maximizing the results although it can look for unnatural. However i don't see myself as being just the UNLUCKY one due to 7 other people on this forum with worse/similar growth/scaring as myself. Fue is not great some peoples donor hair like maybe yours can be great and can take allot of trauma although others needed to be handled with such care. i feel with my donor being medium to thin it would needed to be handled carefully and extracted perfectly. if you had a strip procedure you would of had the same results as you have with 35% - 40% grafts than what you had. Do you really think i would waste my time having a hair transplant with Armani just so i could come on here and bash it, after spending 15k NOOOO, if i were happy id praise them and probably post like you did, but the fact that you can find 6 other people on this forum with bad results on here does not give you the right to sayhe's great. Maybe you feel you got great results, and maybe you were lucky and had great donor hair, but the fact that i was rushed and gave a silly hairline and developed poor results is proof of INCONSISTENCY the fact of the matter is people do not want to choose a surgeon that has an army of bad patients and they don't want to have to go on a gamble, they want and need someone who does great results all the time, and im afraid Armani does not, if he did he would update his website constantly to keep people refreshed with how clear the results are, also he would get his goons like pats etc to post on here with great results to show people whathes doing, but the fact that pats himself posts his own pics upto 5-6 months on the other network then does not give us an update tells us everything we need to know. so to make my self clear in one sentence for those who don't want to read above. Yes Armani may have good results sometimes but this is no excuse for the number of bad results that are constantly arising and that makes his workINCONSISTENT which most would say is BAD i totally respect you posting on here Sonic and i am so pleased for you that you got what you wanted from your transplant and that's its helped to improve your life, I just wish i could say that for myself and the rest of us that were ripped off I WILL NOW POST MY 11 MONTHS TO THE DAY POST OPP PIC, If you think that's these results are good then go to the Armani clinic

Lol this clinic is a complete joke i just recived a letter from a lawsuit firm acting for armani, threatening to sue me becuase i asked for a partial refund becuase of poor results, and also states i will be not entitled to undergo further surgary with the clinic, and also demanding that i do not post any futher comments on this site and to remove all my other previous coments regarding there poor work. (just for the record armani, didnt i already say i wouldnt go back to you again for touch up or more surgaries if my life depended on it) I find this very amusing and very UNthreatening to myself if that clinic realy thinks i will stop posting and take threats like that into account they can think again, (hope your looking at this armani reps) the company makes me sick, the messup peoples heads and then pay a firm to try and scare you into keeping quiet, how lame is that. i think now with what they have done i will have no choice to make it for of an insentive to stop as many people from making the mistake i did, and as a result will be posting as many picutres of my head and will even create my own dedicated website to the armani victims to hopefully help people falling for there missleading marketing scams and bad work and also telling patients that there 2-3 years away from cloning lol (yes bobby you told me this), i hope Bill does not remove this post at any cost as i think this is a vital post in this topic as it shows how low dr. armani and his team realy are, they wouldnt like it if someone stole 15,000 dollars from them in exchange for messed up hair transplant with poor growth, scaring and angles (armani must of been out drinking the night before if he thinks i have a normal hairline) and if they think they will have the last say they can think again im going to report my finding to the medical board of canada also along with others with there permition, i will also upload the lawsuit document showing how low they are if Bill lets me. and i also like to respond to the post obove this, you may be happy with your results but i doubt you know the real dammage, what area did all those grafts go into, do you not relise you have compromised your donor supply with such a large ammounts (for the doc to say your grafts are not ready??????? what the hell does that meen. thats just saying you havent got enought donor hair without giving you a thin back head, i would love to see some pictures in good quality (not dull light) and as far as not smoking ect, i dont smoke i eat healthy and i exercise regular and dont use and products in my hair, and that goes for the most of us. we cant judge or repect your comments without pictures. and 1 happy guy out of so many unhappy guys on here just doesnt cut it. i stress and i mean stress that this clinic needs to be avioded at all costs, if you choose to ignoir this you deserve poor results, im not saying the doc hasnt produced any good results recently but i feel that any other top doc with better ethics and one that does not work like a hair mill (letting techs do everthing bar making the graft sites, one done and on to the next) will produce better results than him everytime, Feller i suspect is the best for fue, and wish i went there first.

and i will add sorry that no1 else in London or anywere else in the UK is even worth looking into other than the Farjos, so if its FUE you gotta do some international reseach, and aviod the clinic i went to

Mick at farjo told me that the clinic only does little amounts of fue like eyebrows etc. and they would not do it, however he recomends anyone intrested in only FUE to contact Dr. Feller or a couple of the well know belgin docs. although he speaks highly of Fellers Fue work. take advice from the people who know what there talking about, Mick at farjo has no other than good intentions so i would trust his opinion although he always tells people to take there time like a year or so making the right choice and make sure you see actaul paitients that the Doc worked on and not to take photos at face value. take care

not if he has the good jeans that dont get effected by DHT, those people are very lucky

raised as in how? type cobblestoning into the find option and look at some pictures to see if its the same as me. who did your HT and regarding dryness get hold of a spray bottle either buy 1 or use 1 from a diffrent product, depending on the size add a tablespoon of clycerin to the spray bottle per every hundred ml so if its a 500ml bottle sprayer put 5 spoons of glycerin and the rest bottled water not tap, filterd at worst. most spray bottles from other products are about 100ml at most shake up well leave for 20mins and youl have a nice anti dryness spray, works a treat with no side affects to the hair as its all natural. but you will get greasy hair if you use alot, if it doesnt work just gradualy add more clycerin to the mixture untill it does. make sure you buy 100 glycerin with no addatives. its very very cheap and it may be advertised for sore throtes or cooking but its the same stuff.

great thread. this is enought to put any business like this into the ground, if you google that clinic it finds this threat stright away.

Brilliant results

I spoke with Mick from farjo today and he was brilliant i got totaly honesty from him. they didnt even recomend me to have strip with them but recomended Dr Feller for fue in my case. and even tho they arnt getting my custom he is going out of his way to ask the doctor about any questions i have and says they will help me as much as they can. very good guys at this clinic only if all were as polite, honest and helpfull as this instead of just thinking about the money and sale. cant speak highly enough of them. if you see this Mick thanks once again now looking forward to meeting with spex to go over what he and Dr. Feller think is my best option

Hi first off gald you still had your hairline intact and only needed it thickening which would make it hard for the clinic to mess up on angels. regarding your donor supply only time will tell as you can get shock loss in the donor area aswell. but i think you will be fine. where did you have the procedure done was it there Bay street clinic in Toronto? your donor looked a little see through already in the before picture which i find a little strange as you look ethnic origin from the pics and normaly people have realy thick donor like that. all in all i think you should be ok as your hairline was already still there, but only time will tell when you start to loose those native hairs in your hairline to see what the transplant realy was like. aslong as you avoided the horrible cobblestone scarring (bumps in recipiant site) like i few of us on here got from the armani clinic then you should be ok. all the best for the future outcome

I spoke with Mick from farjo today and he was brilliant i got totaly honesty from him. they didnt even recomend me to have strip with them but recomended Dr Feller for fue in my case. and even tho they arnt getting my custom he is going out of his way to ask the doctor about any questions i have and says they will help me as much as they can. very good guys at that clinic only if all were as polite, honest and helpfull as this instead of just thinking about the money and sale. cant speak highly enough of them. if you see this Mick thanks once again credit should always be posted where due.

to be honest 3 weeks is not enought IMO to expect to look normal agian, it took that long just for my scabs to fall off completly, and then i have redness in the donor area that didnt completly go untill 6-7 months mark, it all depends on how fast you heal, and aslo if your of fair complextion. the best thing to do if you are seriously concerned about people not finding out, is think of an excuse that would be beliveable, i personaly thought of one well before my transplant, i said i was off to help a friend do some work (DIY) and that i would be away for about 2 weeks. then after the transplant i phoned family up and said im in hospital ive had an acsident and said i spilt some paint stripper on my head and it burnt all my scalp becuase i hadnt washed it out properly. but i had FUE so no scar for me. to this day they dont know any diffrent and for the people who say my hair looks diffrent i just say its got darker becuase i damaged it and they still dont suspect anything

Hi yes i know all about that stuff im quite educated on all the health stuff to be honest, but i was just wondering if it did affect biotin levels atall as i have read that high protien diet can do

Hi Guys i know a few of you on here are into bodybuilding and keeping fit before my HT i did alot of weights and kept in good shape but after the HT i havent gone back to lifting yet but want to start again, i think i remember reading a couple of articles on alot of protien in the system afecting Biotin levels in result affecting the hair, but i want to know what your thoughts are on this cheers

thanks wes

????? 10 DAYS Post opp how can you say the word RESULTS, on the other hand it does like like you got good graft PLACEMENT unlike me, i got a wonky pissplaced hairline from the clinic, more before and more after pics would be better so be can see whats going on, a portrait shot would be good of both if you have a before pic like that

the guy in the second post with the dark hair is an ANCHORMAN on US TV

i do think the hairline i the most imprortant of all, like you said if it frames your face well it makes you better looking, i could live with a bald crown aslong as the hairline and top were filled well

i have to agree those results were very good and suited the guys head well very natural look

about photos im strugling realy as i cant get the camera to show the cobblestoning properly as becuase there white scars now and no longer red the flash reflects off them and you cant see, although my hair is long at the moments but im going to have my hair cut monday and give the pics to my clinic to see if there going to go anything ill let them respond first

normaly the clinic your going with helps you out on choosing the right hotel they always sugest to get one close to the clinic to save hastle. email them and they should be able to help

thanks guys i do agree with alot of what people say about the usa and canada being more advanced, as they seem to be in every aspect of cosmetic surgary, i need to be carefull realy becuase im going in for repair and i have cobblestoning scars and im going to need more grafts putting in my temples to compensate for the lack of overall density in that region, i only went for the hair transplant for the intention of filling in the temples in the first place and 2500 grafts later there still not right, if you guys could have seen me before i went in you would have thought it would be an easy job to do due to not that much loss

im supprised that guy didnt wait a little longer for the hairloss to progress as the change isnt that much, maybe if he made living from his looks then yes but each to there own i guess, no offence intended in this post just my opinion

thanks guys i think ill have to do what thana says, make a list consult with them all (face to face if possible) and then start crossing them off 1 by 1
