  1. as far as I am aware it should be a super easy fix. Looks like a super small area and only a handful of grafts needed. I'm also really not sure its a scar either unless you specifically injured yourself there at some point. It's definitely not related to MPB as there is no direct correlation between beard loss and MPB I would say the majority of guys naturally have some patchiness, bald spots in their beard, so i would just say it is natural and non MPB related
  2. I could be wrong, but as far as Im aware you can implant on scars, scar tissue, etc. There may be lesser yield than there otherwise would be due to the scar, or perhaps growth will you be fine. Can you also take a more zoomed out picture of your entire face and beard? I am curious how big of an issue this actually is for you. I think there is a good chance merely growing the neighboring hair even just a few millimeters, will be enough to start concealing it
  3. off the top of my head, one of the techs could do something that causes the patient's skin to start necrosising. Necrosis is a very rapid process and would require a doctor's quick wits to fix I had surgery with one of the elite doctors on the forum. There was one moment in surgery where he suddenly looked pretty concerned and halted everything in order to examine my scalp. Apparently a section of the recipient area was turning exceptionally dark really quickly and my doc thought it could have potentially been the start of necrosis Luckily after a brief examination the surgeon saw that this section was just normal bruising/surgery trauma, and after taking my blood pressure, the surgery resumed But the point stands that even though hair transplants are casual surgeries on the grand scale of things, they very much still require rigorous monitoring and a doctor present in case things go south. No - you won't die from a hair transplant procedure. But the unexpected can still happen and I wouldn't trust the techs to be my last line of defense. And also just in general, do you not see anything wrong with the doctor leaving early? Some patients might take out a loan for surgery and make other big sacrifices, perhaps traveling internationally, such a big commitment, so much faith and trust in the doctor, just for him to leave early so he can attend his golf game 🤷‍♂️
  4. I am really curious what Dr. Hasson is so busy with that he cannot even be present at his clinic for the duration of surgery. He has demonstrated this poor behavior in previous cases as well IMO it goes beyond bad manners and poor etiquette. for example, what if there was a true emergency with your procedure that only Hasson can take charge of? As good as his techs may or may not be, there are simply some situations that require the surgeon/medical doctor to respond to. The techs cannot independently respond to any critical, fast moving situations that may arise.
  5. I can 100% confirm there have been multiple unsatisfied h&w patients on here who have gotten free touch ups after voicing their complaints on here I cannot speak with any certainty on what is done by Hasson vs the techs as I have not been a patient. But feel free to read some reviews and Hasson appears to be pretty hands off - especially for a doctor with "elite" status h&w appears to have a very large tech team, whereas many of the other elite docs have smaller teams. Having a larger tech team indicates the doctor is more hands off, and vice versa Lastly there is one patient review on the forum from either 1-2 years ago, where Hasson left the clinic early while the patient was still in surgery, and the patient was unable to have a post-surgery debrief with Hasson. The techs were the ones who wrapped up the surgery and sent the patient on his way. If I am paying tens and tens of thousands of dollars for surgery, at minimum I would expect the surgeon to be present at the clinic for the entirety of it. And for bedside manner, manners in general, custom, I would expect the doctor to be able to spend (at minimum) a small amount of time with a patient after surgery to give concluding details on the surgery, answer any patient questions, and in general just to properly say goodbye and see the patient off after surgery. In NO WAY at all is the above meant to criticize Hasson's surgical skills. I have no comment on that. The above is just meant to say that Hasson may be suprisingly hands off given his prestigious reputation
  6. @jbd123 maybe you should ask Dr. Hasson for a free touch up. There are multiple other threads on here from h&w where people have gotten free second rounds. You will have to directly ask the clinic though as I doubt they will offer you one unprompted. I also understand you must be really frustrated and disappointed with the work. But if the options are spending an additional 20k elsewhere vs putting aside your feelings and working out a remedy with Hasson, the latter may be most effective That being said, I do think your concerns about the techs may be valid. Hasson is one of the few "elite doctors" who seems to dictate all work to the techs. whereas the modern trend for other elite doctors is for them to have a hands on role, and the surgeon may be just as hands on if not more so than the tech I don't think this is a make or break item in you having a repeat surgery, but you can certainly bring it up
  7. do you have any examples of this from the forum? I personally have yet to see anyone with oddly curled hair revert back to normal. Perhaps yes if there is at most only a extremely subtle degree of wiryness and kink, as the grafts should ultimately get thicker and softer. But for anything more than a very very minor degree of variance, every case I have ever reviewed on this, the hair has not gotten better. when @head mentions his hair is "curly", I feel like some/all of this hair is perpendicular/badly angled which will not improve I think it may be most prudent for @head to assume he has been botched, but maybe leave a 5% miracle chance open that the hair will be fine I feel that alot of repair patients have a hard time accepting they have been botched and this really impedes/delays their repair journey. It's a shame that clinics will never ever admit to any mistakes, because it leaves patients gaslighted and makes the road to repair alot more difficult.
  8. It won't. Clinics hope to delay delay delay in the hope that you will just go away. Can you please provide more pictures? It is hard to judge with just one As of now I cant speak to whether removing the hair is a good idea or not, but i can tell you that the only solutions for this are: 1) extract then reimplant the bad hair elsewhere 2) laser/electrolysis 3) bandaid solutions like using gel to mold the hair into proper shape. Or growing your hair longer. Longer hair can really help with bad angles The surgeon inserted the hair at an incorrect angle, that is why it looks odd When you say separate issue, i am unsure what you mean As of right now, I am assuming you just have 1 issue, which is badly angled hair.
  9. it is badly angled hair. It will not return to normal unfortunately. the clinic 100% knows they messed up, but they never ever EVER will admit to it. It is in a clinic's best interest to never admit they botched a surgery. Sadly, they have no reason to tell you the truth. I understand if this is all hard to take in, but the sooner you can accept the reality of your result, the better your repair journey will go.
  10. I am 100% certain this is badly angled hair. Unfortunately it will not get better, it is permanent. You should laser/electrolysis the bad hair off and start over again. It is the simplest option and ultimately the less stressful and less costly route. The alternative is to extract the bad hair and then reimplant it elsewhere. This will be 2 surgeries minimum, and could likely be more depending on how much bad hair you have and any other complications.
  11. 5 days is definitely an excessive time to stay somewhere after a hair transplant. Not any harm to it, but you really could have left the day after or +1 day after and had a less expensive trip I've stayed an extra day myself with a different surgeon for the post op cleanings and - while the cleaning is nice and helps feel more freshened and hygenic after surgery, i feel like a post op cleaning (done by a tech) really has no effect on the HT.
  12. are you certain this gray hair is actually new? It makes sense to be super obsessive and focused on your hair when you have a hair transplant. Maybe you just never noticed it before when you didn't have your hair under a microscope
  13. accept aging or dye your hair its possible your donor hair naturally had more grayness to it, and now that this hair is in the front of your head its more noticeable to you
  14. Nader, but his demand is so huge right and his clinic seems to be pretty unresponsive to most inquiries due to overwhelming popularity that his staff can't handle replying back to everyone Nader seems to be the best option in Mexico, just keep in mind that by the time the clinic replies back to you and you book surgery, you honestly may be looking at a 2026 surgery date
  15. a lot of lawyer talk just to agree with what we all said from the get to, that a lawsuit is not worth it. For the record, if anyone is thinking about a legal option for anything in life, it is best to get consults with multiple lawyers. Always be objective when it comes to lawyers, sometimes their financial incentive can conflict with the patients. Just like with doctors, just because someone is a lawyer - at face value this does not mean they are good at their job. The barrier to become a lawyer is really not that high as long as someone has the time commitment and money for law school.
  16. Very telling in this thread how the actual botched patients are saying the legal route is near impossible, whereas people who have never been in this situation make it seem like a 6 figure payday is all but guaranteed 🤣
  17. it's really not. Some hairmills may basically use up an entire patient's donor all in one surgery, get no growth, and leave a bunch of scars and other permanent scalp disfigurements. In situations like this, repair is not even an option, and the patient is condemned to wearing a hat or wig for life or some other drastic measure. OP has a long road ahead of him, but it is not the worst hair transplant ever solely due to the fact that this is repairable.
  18. i'm honestly just curious since you are a lawyer - would this not be considered personal injury? I'm not sure what other lawyer this would go to. Isn't medical malpractice considered personal injury? can you explain this more? I don't know much about the law so just curious. So OP is expected to take home 225,000 euros for his 2500 euro surgery? 3k contingency fee/225000 euros = 1.3% contingency fee. It is common for contingency fees to be this low? thanks.
  19. so you're saying a lawyer wouldn't take this on contingency? I wonder why not....
  20. I honestly hope OP sues, this goes to trial, the doctor is barred from future HTs, OP is is expensed the total cost of all repairs, and emotional compensation to boot. I am of course rooting for OP. But just objectively and impartially, I would be curious to see the language of any claims/release papers OP signed Horrible, negligible, uncaring, irresponsible doctors and their clinics are usually still wise enough to have a lawyer on retainer and reduce their liability. I doubt OP is the first botched case from the clinic nor the first person to potentially pursue a legal route with them. I am a botched repair patient myself, know plenty of other botched patients (a few who went the legal route) and all failed. I do think a lawyer MIGHT still be a good tactic to put added pressure on the clinic to give you a refund and then some. But from a textbook, in the weeds legal POV, even the worst doctors out there are smart enough to have legal defense in place before surgery.
  21. A court of law is not going to get as granular as bad angles, multi grafts, etc. The court's litmus test is going to be "did OP get disabled from this surgery. Has OP lost wages, etc." Also, consider we are on a hair transplant forum so naturally there is going to be an exaggerated amount ton of sympathy, support, understanding, etc. Op is preaching to the choir here lol. In a court of law its going to be a much less sympathetic, much more black and white litmus test If OP had a legit claim, why isnt every botched patient suing their doctors? OP is hardly the first botched patient to consider the legal route
  22. I doubt you have an actual/true/legitimate legal claim that would hold up in a court of law. If you signed any sort of patient documents/claims prior to surgery, it pretty much kills your case. I'm certain it would have mentioned something along the lines of "this is a voluntary cosmetic surgery, results not guaranteed, etc." At most I think you will get refunded the 2500 euros. You can likely pressure the clinic to get this amount. It is such a small amount of money (relatively speaking) I don't think the clinic would vigorously fight it. I would be extremely surprised if you get anything more than that. The clinic likely will not pay for future repair surgeries with a different clinic. Their reasoning will likely be "we have already offered you a free touchup, if you decline we are not going to be footing the bill for you to go elsewhere when we will do a touch up for free" It is an injustice, you have been wronged, and it is unfair, but the clinic likely has you be the b*lls unfortunately. The clinic likely wouldn't have operated on you in the first place if they risked massive liability. Their defense is in order - like all clinics - because they would have refused to operate on you if you didn't sign away any future rights/claims prior to surgery. 2 repair surgeries from a competent doctor will cost anywhere from 15k-40k euros, so I would budge5 for that to be safe... On the bright side, your surgery was ridiculously cheap in the 1st place (big red flag!!!) and if your hair transplant journey went the proper way you'd still be paying tens of thousands of dollars to begin with
  23. this is not true, there are loads of absolutely atrocious and horrible doctors in the US, in the UK, in every country you can think of. You really have to look at things from a surgeon-specific level, not country. Here is a thread from just yesterday with a botched UK result.
  24. yea alot of doctors are unfortunately like that. its a total rip-off.
