Bill - Seemiller Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Yazza, What kind of advise are you looking for? If you are looking for detailed information about the Farjo clinic, I recommend using the "find" feature of this community and search for the name "Farjo" to see what kind of information you can find. Here...I've done the initial step for you...click the link below: http://hair-restoration-info.com/eve/forums?a=search&re...rum_scope=7466060861 Mick McHugh, an employee of the Farjo Clinic has been posting a number of photos from their clinic in the photo section. I DO, recommend, however, in addition to any pictures posted by the clinic, that you view photos posted by real patients. To date, I have not seen much posted by any patients of the Farjo clinic. I have not made a firm conclusion about the Farjo clinic personally. From what I've seen, IMO, I'd say that they do adequate work...however I have yet to see one single session that has "wowed" me. Mick McHugh has told me that he will be posting some varying session sizes that may yet impress...but I'm still on the lookout. Please understand that this is my opinion and you should do your own research and draw your own conclusions. HOWEVER, when drawing your conclusions, I encourage you to compare this clinic to our coalition doctors found here: http://www.hairlosslearningcenter.org/hair-loss-content...s/our_physicians.asp so you are comparing to the best. I do strongly recommend that if you can travel outside of the UK, to select a coalition doctor at this time. Clearly, you will want the BEST work done, so choose your clinic wisely. B Spot, Any reason why you passed the buck on this one and didn't state your opinion? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick from Farjo Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Having recently visited the Farjo clinic (see report) and watched Drs. Bessam and Nilofer and their staff in action, I feel that their work and technique is on pare with some of the very best hair transplant clinics in North America. I also had an opportunity to see many of their patient before and after photos and some actual patients - all of which were impressive and natural.

Mick from Farjo Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Forgot to add the above was Pat's report on his visit to us recently. Yasser is not looking for hair transplantation, in his own words he had a very poor job abroad,he is trying to improve his donor area. http://www.hairrestorationnetwork.com/eve/showthread.php?t=152861 Mick Patient coordinator for Dr. Bessam Farjo who is an esteemed member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Mick, But how does one improve the donor area? One has two options as far as I understand... 1. To get FUE placed into the current scar (to help mask the scar) 2. Remove a brand new strip and reclose it to attempt to minimize the scar. Of course...if one chooses option TWO, I think it would be a CRIME if the strip was thrown away without transplanting the grafts into recipient sites. Why not do a 2 for one deal...unless of course, his recipient area is already PERFECT...but if it was, I doubt he would have had a transplant to begin with. And by the way... Where did you gentlement get Yasser out of Yazza? Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yazza Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hi thank you for replyng and for your information. In reply to your Q, i was looking for some reassurance i suppose as I have been very distressed with the scar that was left and having tried several other options ie laser and permanent makeup being applied i have still been dissapointed. I just wondered if any one had had a scar revision done and wat sort of results to expect I suppose. look forward to recieving your input. tThanx Originally posted by Bill:Yazza, What kind of advise are you looking for?
