So we get TONS of calls of guys, and a few girls, saying they had multiple surgeries and although they initially looked better...the hair they thought they got is 'all gone'.  My best guess, and what we almost always see if they come to the office is the same thing.  A person goes to a hair clinic, often gets sold a bunch of laser treatments and vitamins as they 'weren't ready for surgery'.  After a year or so, when they have spend 2000.00 and are still losing hair...they now proceed with HT at that office.  After all, they are now really comfortable with that clinic...they've been getting light treatments and spending money with them for more than a year.   So they get surgery, sold as 'filling in all of the weak areas'.   Now those clinics are great sales people...they convince the customer that they can fill in a couple of thousand grafts, with existing long hair in place, and in a day or so...the patient can go back to work.   I hear these ads on TV and the radio!   Probably would sell me too on this if it weren't for forums like this!

 

And so they get some hair placed, my best guess is that its hard for the doctor to see where to make the holes, harder for the techs to see the holes, and impossible for surrounding hair not to stick to and pull out some of the new hairs...  And when a year is up or maybe longer, the clinic says....'well our surgery worked, its just you lost more hair!'   Whereas in reality they have lost DONOR hair and MONEY, often with little to show for it.

 

Here's a typical call:   

 

Please do your research!

Why do people not research before any procedure is beyond me! Nice vid.

Treat your donor area like gold people... Nice informative vid Dr Lindsey.

Informative, crazy how some would not research before any procedure.
