Hi everyone!
Hope you all are doing great
So, it has been 5 weeks since my hair transplant surgery and i have totally lost faith in my Hair Transplant surgeon because of the following reasons:
The surgery was conducted by two technicians, although the clinic had two doctors still the called in two technicians for the surgery. The surgeons told me that the doctors would soon join them for the surgery after they give me anaesthesia and they started extracting without even notifying me, i was given evasive answers whenever i asked about the doctor and told me to stay quite since this will impact the quality of the procedure, the doctor came only once during the whole surgery and hardly stayed for a minute. After the surgery the doctor saw me and when I confronted him his reply was that he was supervising the whole surgery through his phone and he will take the responsibility for the surgery. I didn’t want to argue at this point since in was dizzy and tired because of Anaesthesia and 5 hours surgery.
I feel the no. Of grafts implanted is way below the promised 5500 grafts, i posted photos on the Hair Transplant subReddit and was told by many of other users that it is somewhere around 2500 grafts.
The hairline design is very unnatural, straight and the hairs have been implanted in rows.
They literally implanted or mistakenly put a white thread into my scalp which was noticed by my sister after my head got clear of the scabs, around 15 day mark, and when i sent the photo to the clinic i was told this is a very normal process of shedding, although the thread was easily removed by my sister and i had very minor ticking pain but i want to emphasise the negligent attitude of the clinic.
I faced shock loss 20 days after the process and was told by the doctor that it is not shock loss but rather alopecia areata and that have to undergo a separate treatment for the same which would cost me half the cost of hair transplant. On consultation with other doctors i was told that it is nothing but shock loss and would treat itself within a few months.
So, i consult you guys with regard to the further course of action. For now i am trusting the process and am really hoping to see some improvement, i would certainly be needing another surgery since it has been 35 days since my surgery and many of the grafts have shed but i never noticed a good coverage of my head, since before the shedding ideally the hairs should cover the scalp and one shouldn’t be able to see through the but sadly that wasn’t the case with me.
Alternatively i am considering suing the surgeon for this horrible job, but i am thinking of waiting for 6 months for the results since util then he would have defence that I didn’t wait for the process to complete, if any of you has any prior experience of litigation in this domain in India then please help this friend out.
Thanks and Regards
