Regular Member Jay00 Posted February 26, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted February 26, 2022 Hello everyone, so I had a FUE surgery last year which went horribly wrong. First of all, I am 28 years old I had full hair (a lot hair). My problem was the front, my hairline was not so great so I needed a little bit of fixing. After watching some YouTube videos and scrolling through instagram, I ended up choosing Dr Ziering (terrible mistake). I was very naive and went along with the surgery. Dr Ziering wasn’t present during the surgery and later I realized the assistants were all amateurs. Anyways, after the surgery not only I didn’t get the result I was expecting (fixing my hairline), I also lost alot of hair in the back of my head (donor area). This is really causing me depression and stress. Please if there’s a way to fix the donor area or a doctor who can help repair my hair, drop your comments down below. Thank you 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member MazAB Posted February 26, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2022 It can be hard enough to find the right clinic to perform any hair transplant let alone one that involves the intricacies of afro hair. Very few clinics that can perform a successful procedure if not fully tenured having had multiple procedures with afro hair. When did you have this procedure done? If it was done recently, it is tough to know if it's shock loss or overharvesting. You would have to wait it out on both the recipient area and donor to see how things progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was done March 2021. I’m more concerned about the donor area than my hairline. This is awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted February 26, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted February 26, 2022 Hey @Jay00 you have found this forum like myself and so many others after having a botched surgery (or more) instead of before surgery. You are not alone. If it has been one year I would look at surgeons like like Dr Basanga, Dr Mwamba, Dr Lupunzala and others listed on the forum. You can be repaired and it may not ease the hurt but luckily you don't look too bad. Your Afrocentric hair is in your favour. Wishing you all the best. 3 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member JoeMan Posted February 26, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) Sorry this happened to you, I agree it looks repairable but you need a top Dr. I'd look hard at Dr. Bisanga for this repair. He seems really experienced with your hair type. Good Luck! Edited February 26, 2022 by JoeMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Gokuhairline Posted February 26, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2022 never heard of this Dr...but chosing a doctor based off social media especially youtube or instagram is a huge red flag....sure it looks great and all but that is marketing and all its meant is to draw attention and new clients ...and they won....good news is this is fixable like the others are saying, Mwamba and Bisanga seems to be doing great repairs good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member stephcurry30 Posted February 26, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2022 I'm sorry about your experience. I have heard bad things about Dr. Z but seems like his marketing tactics work to bring in new patients. I have a few questions: 1.) How many grafts was the surgery? 2.) have you contact the clinic about getting a full or partial refund? This would be the first step imo to at least get some compensation for the ruined grafts/donor area that you will never get back. Also, I a surprised Dr Diep or Dr Umar haven't been mention in this thread yet. Both have a large case of African American patients. Dr Diep's cases can be seen below. I heard he has a long wait list but the wait should be worth it. I have a surgery scheduled for 2023 with one of the top doctors in the US and would prefer to wait for the best/right doctor to converse my donor area rather then rush into something and feel unsure about it. His full library of surgeries can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/user/hairtransplantmd/videos Dr Umar's website can be found here along with his youtube channel And just as a F.Y.I. I am not associated with Dr Diep or Umar in any way or form. Just a fellow hair loss sufferer who has done extensive research over the past 4-5 years and noticed an array of African American patients that Dr Diep and Umar have worked on. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted February 26, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted February 26, 2022 Dr. Glenn Charles in Florida does consistently excellent work with Afro hair and repair. Dr. Mwamba is great too and I think he's opened an office in Atlanta. My advice does not constitute a patient-physician relationship nor as medical advice and all medical questions/concerns should be addressed to your medical provider.

Yea I contacted the clinic, but you know the typical con artist, doctor acted shocked and made it seem like I did something wrong post surgery. I didn’t ask for a partial refund or refund yet. Doctor offered to repair, but hell no not again. Thank you for providing this information, I definitely heard about doctor Umar before. Will check out dr Diep. He seem to have excellent results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
