Hi there, as it happens, DHI rang me a week before the procedure to say that the surgery had been cancelled because the surgeon wasn't available on the day I'd booked. They offered me a rescheduled date but I opted to cancel it completely and get a refund of my deposit instead. So now I'm going to use Regaine instead and see what effect that has before I'd consider surgery again. Although I have to say with all of my dealings with DHI they have been polite and professional.

Hi folks, I'm new to the forum and I must say I'm impressed at the informative and unbiased opinions on here. At the moment I have pretty moderate hair loss at the front of the hairline, and decided to 'stop the rot' and go for a consultation with DHI, who are advertising heavily in Ireland at the moment. I had been thinking about it for the last couple of years and had done plenty of research, and decided their DHI technique seemed the most advanced. I hadn't read about any negative experiences at all in my research, but I hadn't come across an independent forum like this one before either. I've booked in for a 1000 hair procedure with DHI in a few weeks time, but after seeing the bad rap they've got on here now I'm starting to have my doubts. Although one poster I've seen did seem to have a reasonably good experience with them. Has anyone else out there got good things to say about DHI (anyone connected with the company need not reply!)? Also, can somebody actually look worse after a procedure gone wrong? Since I'm having a small procedure, I'm thinking the worst that can happen is that the hairs won't 'take' and I'll be left looking more or less the same as before. I'm also taking a few weeks off work afterwards in anticipation of bald patches in the donor area, initial hair loss etc. I'm also self conscious about having the procedure and have told very few people about it, and I'm hoping nobody will notice, other than I 'look different'. Has anyone ever had somebody come up to them and say 'Oh my God, you've had a hair transplant'? I would say cosmetic surgery for men is still frowned upon in Ireland. Thanks in advance for the advice!
