    Dr. Armani silences most critics

    in Hair Transplant Reviews

    Posted

    Too much good information to just let it go to waste. (As posted by Pat on a previous thread)

     

    ______________________________________________

     

    Over the years many doctors, patients and potential patients have expressed concerns about Dr. Armani's ethics, advertising and the end results of his FUE procedure in particular (on and offline). These concerns have not only been expressed on this forum community but on numerous other hair loss forums. I have included a sampling of just some examples of the many threads/topics where these concerns have been discussed.

     

    Clearly, I'm not alone in having reservations in regards to Dr. Armani. I invite those who want to learn more about these concerns to follow the below links and then reach their own conclusions. To research topics referencing Dr. Armani on this forum, click on the "Find" button and enter "Armani".

    1. Issue - Densely packed megasessions in the hairline of an extremely young patient. What about the risk of future hair loss and a finite donor supply?

    2. Based on the evidence to date on various forums, there appears to be a lack of compelling evidence that Dr. Armani's relatively new FUE mega session procedure is living up to its promises.

     

    Im NOT satisfied with my FUE-result with Alvi Armani!

     

    The FUE results aren't up to par

    3. Issue - Dr. Armani has claimed that the average patient has 15,000 follicular unit grafts available for hair transplant surgery. Yet, nobody seems to have seen any patients with this number of donor grafts removed from the donor area. Dr. Armani's claim has been controversial -

    Since the lawsuit post will be removed soon and no longer part of cyberspace, I feel there should be a new thread for people to complain about the unethical dealings coming from the Armani camp.

     

    As Pat stated in the past Lawsuit post:

     

    One of my primary and long time concerns about Dr. Armani has been his willingness to pander to young patient's by creating juvinal hairlines by dense packing their hairlines.

     

    As most of you already know, many ethical surgeons and educated patients have long shared my concern that when these young patients get older and their hair loss progresses their depleted and limited supply of bald resistent hair follicles will be insufficient to restore the bald area behind their dense packed juvinille hairline.

     

    Thus this young patient may some day be a middle aged man with a thick teenage hairline and a large bald area behind it. Since such a pattern of hair loss is not natural the patient would look ridiculous. That is why ethical physicians in my opinion create hair restoration plans that will serve the patient now and in the future, rather than pandering to their immediate desire.

     

    In my opinion, Dr. Armani's promotion of his services is deceptive and inaccurate.

    Obviously Armaini's main interest is his pocket book and not the client's best interest.

     

    Shane and Pats (Armani Reps) have completely disappeared.

    And now most negative postings will disappear as well. Farell caved and now????????????

    Almost all doctors will do this, but you have to be in a position to get yourself to the clinic within a few days of getting a phone call from them.

     

    Actually a few years ago I went for a consult with Dr. Hasson and he said they had an open date the following day and he would give me a huge discount if I wanted to book the next day.

     

    It was a very tempting offer but I just wasn't ready to pull the plugs at that time.

     

    Typically you can get 25% +/- off the regular cost.

    There seems to be a debate as to rather a drug holiday is really good for you or not.

     

    On Dr. Rassman's Balding Blog site he just addressed this issue last week.

     

    Recently I took a 2 week drug holiday and have to say the results didn't seem to work too well.

    A massive shed occured at the 2 week point. Hopefully some of it will be recovered.

    If not, I am screwed.

    can you tell?

    If someone say's something, just get a real confused/surprised look on your face and say

    "really?"

    That type of response ususally ends the discussion quickly.

    I think it scares them off because they realize that they may tipped you off to something serious.

     

    How old are you and #of grafts by which doctor?
