Hairson

Will definitely do that, are you satisfied? I'm looking to have a series of FUE transplants with him, i'm post consultation and i must say i'm impressed with his approach.

Be careful with Rataj, i was his patient years back and he completely botched the transplant, i was left with hair growing at odd angles, in fact looking back i cannot put it in any other way as the whole op being a shameless cash grab, the pre-op consultation was a travesty with no relevant knowledge passed on and the good doctor eagerly scheduling the op, taking advantage of the naive kid i was. The effect was not easthetically pleasing, i am fully aware that transplanted hair wont ever be fully natural but they should not stick out at odd angles, if it was a major transplant that bastard might have completely wrecked my hairline. Saifi seems good, im going under his knife next year.

It's years after the original thread but i feel strongly about the issue. I would caution you against going to dr. Rataj. As a young man (22) i went to him without any knowledge about hair loss, i did not know at that point that at my age with the hair loss i had then i was not yet a viable patient, neither did i know about limited donor area or anything of the sort. First the poor excuse for a consultation. Dr. Rataj did not inform me that my hair would recede above the transplant or the fact that i was too young to actually have the transplant in the first place given how much hair i still had back then. I was never told about such things like a limited donor area, hair treatments, the aesthetics were also not discussed, in fact the doctor did not provide any relevant information, he simply gave a go ahead answering all questions as "ok" "you'll look fine" and so on, i should have ran for the hills back then but the mr. Rataj is such a charming fellow, emanating confidence and trust. The op itself was fast, what happened then was a complete mess. After being bandaged with a head full of scars i was let go and informed that i can take the bandages off myself after a prescribed time, when i did i discovered the entire transplant area covered in puss infected, swollen tissue. Dr. Rataj dismissed it as normal and sold me some sort of ointment which failed to work, after using it up the state of my transplant area remained horrible for a further two weeks, i resorted to a visiting a dermatologist and was helped only then. Finally the long awaited hair did grow, except it did so at some very odd angles, at one side of my head it's actually growing inwards, curling in some weird fashion. If dr. Rataj did a major transplant this way he would ruin my hairline forever. After many years when looking into the matter and trying to find another surgeon i researched the subject and saw the pictures, now aware what the guy did to me i cannot warn you enough. So no, i was not happy about Ratajs performance, he did a horrid job and the only small blessing is that the transplant was minor which means i'm able to undo the damage he did with other, far more competent surgeons. I will never, ever set foot in dr. Ratajs clinic again and i would caution you to research him carefully and demand contact from satisfied transplant patients, perhaps i was an isolated case but i will never trust him with my hair again. You could try dr. Saifi, he's in the same city but seems a good deal better, in fact i'm going under his knife next year.
