As good as this community can be with help/support/guidance it does have its limits. I disagree with this statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member WhereIsMyMind Posted December 4, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) This industry seriously needs some regulation. It's not like making thousands of surgical extractions + anesthetics is a "light procedure" just because it is cosmetic. It is a legit surgery which should enforce prepared and licensed technicians. This can't really fall into the "cosmetic hyaluronic injection" clinic type of thing. Even dentists (excluding mouth surgery) do a lot of proccedures that are much lighter than a HT and need to have licenses and strict regulation, so how come anyone can do a HT legally? Hope things change for the better but some of those countries never had much ethics in that regard anyway.

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted December 4, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted December 4, 2022 I know of two cases in the past five years. One surgery resulted in a man's death and another resulted in a man losing the sight in one of his eyes. Both were backyard mills in India.

Without pictures there's no way to know how bad that hair transplants were or if one wasn't a candidate or had BDD. Just because the news article says he did, doesn't mean anything. He could have been legitimately traumatized by the disfiguring of a bad hair transplant. We just don't know. Unless there are pictures I'm missing.

As good as this community can be with help/support/guidance it does have its limits. I disagree with this statement. I would say his support system could've and should've done a better job. I know my friends get ruthless with these types of things.. its a sad story, but information and medical help would've played a par in avoiding this, but no matter what help or info you get, if your friends rip on you for a bad HT constantly, no amount of counseling can repair your fractured confidence. And Im very thick skinned, but I could see my whole world get shattered by that. Follow my Hair Transplant experience with Eugenix!
