I am just looking for feedback on ALVI ARMANI's clinic. Anyone have any thoughts or feedback on some of their doctors and associates? Would greatly appreciate.

Who wants to answer that one :)

2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK.

 

Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired.

Once upon a time there was a very skilled strip surgeon who started showing examples of guys in their 20s with very little loss and extensive work done to their hairlines. Then that doctor switched to FUE only procedures. The graft counts were high and eventually so were the numbers of unhappy clients. There's a whole lot more to the story but I just realized I don't want to type a book on my iPhone! The moral: do your research and look into some other docs.

Thanks - i have read mixed reviews but heard that Dr. Baubac (who leads the Beverly Hills clinic is good)... still uncertain and will likely not go down the Alvi Armani path. How is Dr. Feller.. does he really charge 10 dollars/graft?

Hairthere is pretty much bang on. All though Armani is retired he is still a god on some forums and the less skillful surgeons who still work at Armani are praised in some places as well, that's why you get mixed reviews but anything Armani related is pretty much hated here by the users. The truth of the matter is he was very skillful but very gun happy lol.

 

You'll find as you move around forums there's huge supporters of certain surgeons and then you can go elsewhere and the same surgeons are hated i believe there's a lot of people just repeating what they see written as bible without properly looking at the evidence them self.

Bonkerstonker! :D

I did quite a bit of research before making my decision to pursue FUE with SMG. I had approximately 15 different consultations with different clinics, including all the ones mentioned above. I had 1,501 FUE grafts from Dr. Ron Shapiro 22 days ago. I am extremely pleased with my procedure. Check out Shapiro Medical - they are awesome.

Wow, I did not know Armani retired. So he basically "Bosley-ified" himself. The epitome of greed in this industry.

Yes something along them lines i heard but you never know. It's a real shame about him as he was a real talent with hairlines, i'd say the first person i ever saw do class hairlines week in week out and that was 8 or 9 years ago.

Has anyone actually had a procedure done by Armani's clinic on here? Just reading the mixed reviews and I hear many people who are not a fan of his work but where is the feedback coming from?

Hardly anyone has had a Ht with Armani on here. Like I say most people just repeat what others say as bible without truly researching them selves. It's human nature to accept the majorities general consensus but all that does is snowball effect it to make it even more one sided with the first people who started it. What you should do is find stuff out your self and harp about that as something you actually know abour your self. Rant over ha ha.

does H&W do FUE?

 

Very rarely because contrary to popular belief FUE, regardless of who performs it, does not have the success rate that some would have you believe. The one limitation with strip is the linear scar. The three limitations of FUE are lower overall survival rate, fewer grafts available, and lack of consistency. We don't offer it because we cater to those that want the best result not the option to shave their heads if the procedure does not work out.

The Truth is in The Results

I had 2 FUE sessions with Armani 5 years ago. Poor yield and he jacked up the hairline even the second time when I told him I wanted more in the crown and mid area. He only made the holes for the grafts. The techs did the rest. They used a drill from Home Depot to yank out/extract the grafts.

Dr. G: 1,000 grafts (FUT) 2008

Dr. Paul Shapiro: 2,348 grafts (FUT) 2009 ~ 1,999 grafts (FUT) 2011 ~ 300 grafts (Scar Reduction) 2013

Dr. Konior: 771 grafts (FUT) 2015 ~ 558 grafts (FUT) 2017 ~ 1,124 grafts (FUE) 2020

Bloody hell that sounds like you had fun. Did you ask him why he decided to switch to fue? It did seem to be the switching to fue that sent his results downwards.

Probably the biggest mistake he ever made then was because he got greedy.
