Pics #3 & #4 are hard to tell where the pic are taken on your head. Is it correct that you have the one very wide donor scar instead of two?

I believe you will need a session dedicated to simply removal of your scar and another (possibly two) session to remove the biggest grafts at the hairline and fill in with fine hairs to help mask the old work. There is hope to having your hair look more natural. Can you do another favor? Can you take another pic of your head from the front where you block out your eyes or face? I'd like to see just how large the grafts are at the hairline without them being enlarged. Thanks.

Good day to all u of yes i have been very stupid little did i know that a Dr could to this to u. I have been to Dr santo 2 twice 1st ht in nov 06 1700 grafts was ok no pain no problems.

07 I noticed i had lost more hair so went back 2nd ht big problem this time . The Dr Made a diffrent strip scar from the original went home and my head was sweating all the time. I was in alot of pain i thought i had lost my mind. Alot of the graft's just fell out I spent almost ayear in my room iwas suffering from panic attacks. My head has never felt the same i came to OZ 7month's ago because i know longer wanted my father watch me suffer.

Since being here i have had cortisone injection's in scars it has worked. Dr a has cut to deep causing nerve damage when i contacted there sales team they said to me we have never met a patient like me. This was from Andy Hunt and Clive Dean what nice people they are just pushing for there slice of cake. Maybe if these people knew how mauch pain i was in they would understand. It's not about the money it's about having duty of care doing what's best for the patient being ethical.

How do u repair this mess god know's where i start. I spend all day worrying and sufferring what a waist am just being honest i don't want anybody else to go through this. I need to repair this mess but the worst thing about this i am also scared about what lies ahead. Would appreciate any advice from this forum how to repair this MESS.

Hi Bad Luck.

The work looks poor that you have received from this clinic.

Have they returned any of your emails to them?

I agree with Janna that a few more pictures are needed showing your full head so we can see the full extent of your situation.

I`m pretty sure you will be able to have some repair work to rectify your situation.

Take care bm.

hey dude i really feel for you i know the pain your going through as we have been emailing each other for a few months, the good news is though you have made the first big step to recovery by joining a good forum where you can research quality doctors/clinics in order to hopefully get a normal look again

i agree with janna and bigmac though with the pictures they look too close to see whats going on my friend so please post some more a little further away buddy so we can see the extent of the damage

dont give up hope my friend try to stay positive

as ever best wishes bullit

Hey bud,

Sorry to hear about your situation. Hopefully you'll be able to correct your situation. Keep in mind that there are a handful of world class physicians that are fully capable of providing great, natural work with superior post HT followup. Make sure that you do a lot of research and send your pics to some of the best clinics listed on this site and see what they think of your situation. Good luck. Keep us in the loop.

Hi Bad luck

Has the clinic offered to help you in any way after you contacted them?

Have you sent them your pictures to see what they have to say about the result?

I have gone through so much pain in the back where they cut the strip i had no idea this could happen to me. Am lost i just feel sick with worry and pain i keep getting sharp pain's. I am going to look terrible in the future ican't hide forever i need to sort this mess out. HOW LONG CAN U HIDE UNDER A HAT

Hi Bad Luck

In pictures 4 and 5, your donor appears to be thin in places. The wide scar does not help either.

If I were you I would send all these pictures to the clinic and ask what they think of your result.

I`d be very interested in hearing their opinion.

bm.

Good day Big Mac yesterday i sent 3 email's and pics and info 2 them. To be honest i don't think they will reply wait and see. Yes your right donor is thin it feel's like half my head is missing at the back. Do u guy's think i can get normal look again ;ss; am f ing lost and rock bottom from ht just want get back to my family. I just go on like this had alot of support from this forum thank u all.

Badluck,

I replied to your email but the email bounced back. Looking at the pics your scar appears to be in an "ok" position. wide yes, but potentially it can be made smaller - You could possibly have the scar revised and also harvest some valuable donor hair in order to be distributed within the hairline zone to help camoflauge and refine the front which appears in need of help. It would only be possible for a doc to truly give you an accurate opinion on how many grafts could be harvest and how many would be required to help refine the front appropriately but in the right hands i feel your situ could be made a great deal better. There are some good repair clinics out there and a number of results by these clinics to show you want potentially can be achieved.
Hope this helps
Regards
