  1. Here are some pics of my hairline 4 months post op from Dr. Jones in Canada. The hair barely grew in. The butcher Doctor was Dr. Gallagher of this web site. I wore a hat for 14 months thinking things would change. Dr. Jones said I had nothing but 3's and 2 spaced way too far apart. My donor hair is considered a nine. I plucked most of the 3's and it looks better. I never had a ht so I didn't know what a good hair line looks like. Should I lower this with ultra fine singles only. I have goose bump scarring from Dr. Gallagher's "lighting blade". I had no scarring from Dr. Jones lateral slits. Dr. Gallagher did nothing but lie to me.<pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> </pre><BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> <BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> <pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> </pre><pre class="ip-ubbcode-code-pre"> </pre>

  3. I too had a tight scalp. I stretched from 1500 grafts. I should have went fue. The Doctor said, "wow, you have extremely tight skin". The scar closed ok except for the last 2 inches where it could not close. I had an open wound of say 1.5 inches by 1/2 inch. It looked like a broken zipper. My butcher Doctor's nurse from this site said it healed ok and rushed me out the door. I almost had a heart attack when I looked in the mirror at home. I went back to the butcher and he said it will need a year to heal. I did get a scar reduction. It helped but I will still need another reduction or grafting.

  4. I feel your pain. I had shit work by Dr. Gallagher of this site. Read my story under coupled fu's. Thank god I did not get enough grafts where it can't get fixed. HT is an extremely sleazy business. It doesn't matter what we say or do the butchering will continue.

  5. Donald Trump definetly had an old mini-micro, plug, etc ht. That is why he combs his hairline over his forehead. My first butcher ht doctor had the same hairstyle in which he showed me why.

     

    Stevan Seagal has to wear his hair in a pony tail because he got butchered. Axl Rose got butchered too, that's why he starting wearing bandanas on stage. I heard this on the bald truth.

    Thanks to a recommended Doctor on this site I also had the pleasure of wearing a hat for 18 months

  6. Dr. Gallagher and Tom are birds of a feather. They both are pathological liars. Dr. Gallagher's work was considered substandard according to several other Doctors. He cuts a strip of say 1600 grafts and doubles them up. He spaced mine a 1/4 inch apart. I had shock that never came back. I had these ugly ass grafty plugs everywhere. I should have got 3k grafts in one strip. They told me with megasessions that a large amount of hair dies due to lack of blood flow. He says he densly packs grafts. Well, how come I had enough room for 2 repair procedures, where the Doc still had room between all the hairs. I have 2 scars and severe hairline scarring due to a lighting blade they claim to use. There is a sucker born every minute and I was one as I trusted this website and the doctor.

  7. Here is a definition of a butcher recommended on this sA little bit of my backround:

     

    32

    Donor hair considered a 9, on a 1 to 10 scale.

    NW level before HT -- Confused.

    Scalp laxity-Very tight.

     

    I went to Dr. Gallagher's office and was greeted by Tom S. He had a terrible hairtransplant. I was assured that was a mini-micro, outdated procedure. Dr. Gallagher said I will be a six, maybe a 7, on the norwood scale by 40. I was quoted 800 grafts. I was told I was a NW 5. I had a full and thick crown and back. I did not think I was that bad for say 2500 grafts. When I asked why so little grafts Tom told me the other places lie to charge more money. The strip from the first HT was taken very high. I asked why. Dr. Gallagher claimed he thought I would not go that low (first lie as they said a possible 7.) The scar stretched causing ingrown hairs. The HT came in around 3-4 months. It looked extrememly grafty. When I asked why I was told to wait till the other gratfts grew around it. I was also told by Tom I would not need another HT for 10 years. I had shock that never returned. I looked grafty and could not understand why every one else could not where a hat after a couple of weeks. I had couple fu's (4 to 7 hairs). My hair is so thick that it stood out from the thinning hair. I told Tom my friends said it looked grafty. He said to find new friends. He said I would have been totally bald in that area so cut myself a break. I really needed a soft hairline. Dr Gallagher who I so naively trusted said get the front done, it most important. I did the front. The hair line 7 months later was most 2 and 3 fu right in the hairline. At this point I have been wearing a hat for 13 months. I went out once or twice without a hat. People would grab there hair and look at mine. I did not look natural. I had reddness and ridging for 8 months. I went to ask why and was told I would need a touch up. I was despearate for a normal, natural hairline. I could not get another strip due to laxity. I finally went to Dr. Jones who said the grafts looked doubled up. I had a 350 fu touch to hid the grafts. It did work. Again I had masssive shock from Dr. Gallagher. I then had 1000k fu from Dr. Jones to cover all the work. I may have to go back to have the 2's and 3's removed from my hairline if this does not camaflage them. I am currently 6 weeks post op from 1k fu with Jones. Thru fue we were able to retrieve tiny fu's for a hairline. I will know in 6 months if it turns out ok.

     

    I might add that I have 2 scars from Dr. Gallagher. One high and one low. The lower one which was the second scar almost healed 1 mil. The first was high and did stretch.

     

    I have a total of 3250 grafts. I don't know how many coupled fu there are. I was told 800 would last 10 years. I was told they would cut out the first scar for the second ht. We I got there I was told it could not be done. I was told not to worry about scars, you can get scar reduction. I was also manipulated with commnets such as you may be a seven. Look at your wet hair after a shower.

     

    His website claims he was the Director of a large clinic. Bosley ?

     

    I may still very confused.

     

    I trusted this site and the Doctor.

     

    I will say that the fue from Dr. Jones did not cause scarring and is starting to grow in nicely.

     

    I wish I did have 1,800 to 2,500 fu's off the bat. I have had 4 procedures. 2 were corrective.

  8. Very true. My recommended butchered from this site used a lighting blade ( makes a small rhumboid hole). The point is I am fair skinned so a larger hole did take more time to heal. Larger holes can leave noticable scarring. I had lateral slits from Dr. Jones and had no noticable scarring.

    Don't use Dr. Gallagher from this site.

    This is just my experience with HT's. I am sure all doctors have positive and negative results with all patients.
