Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted August 28, 2020 Administrators Share Posted August 28, 2020 I want you guys to really think of this question, what would you consider worse, would it be worse to go fully bald Norwood 6- slap head, or would it be worse to have a failed hair transplant?

Senior Member makehairgreatagain Posted August 28, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 28, 2020 Failed hair transplant. There's been some real unfortunate disfigurement and complete failures shown on here that no one should ever have to go through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted August 28, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted August 28, 2020 Great points, there is absolutely nothing wrong with going bald. Failure is subjective, i've seen some pretty good results that are deemed a failure by the person, and some horrendous results that the patients are happy with, so it really comes down to the patients perspective, it's their hair and head at the end of the day.

Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted August 28, 2020 Author Administrators Share Posted August 28, 2020 There’s a lot of young guys who think: “who cares what I look like when I’m 40” well I’ll tell you I’m 5 years away, and I will definitely care what I look like at 40.

Failure can indeed be subjective in terms of a patient's expectations, but there are areas where a HT can be assessed objectively as a failure; like when a specific clinic has failed to do what is promised in their consent forms or consultation sheets etc. Anything appearing unnatural would objectively be seen as a failure. Something like growth or scarring cant reasonably be guaranteed by a clinic, yet instances of poor growth and bad scarring are certainly viewed as failures. So I dont believe its completely subjective. The subjective part really comes down what a patient is willing to accept as a result (or not understand what is considered acceptable) You are absolutely right. Well said.

I want to hear your guys thoughts. Having a failed hair transplantation procedure is the worst. At least the donor is safe even if you go naturally bald even to grade VII with retrograde thinning. With failed hair transplants, the graft loss is permanent and can never be got back. The fact that the donor area is a finite resource is the biggest drawback. 1 Official representative of Eugenix Hair Sciences Dr. Arika Bansal & Dr. Pradeep Sethi https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5crlGyTac2hlU1gHneADzQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
