Victims of bad hair transplants?

[Laura_Tern_2022]

Hello!

I'm a TV researcher working on a medical TV show for BBC1 -we're currently looking for people in the UK who have been given bad/illegal medical care, victims of medical scams and people or groups unfairly effected due to medical conditions.

We're looking for people who would be willing to chat about their experiences with unsuccessful hair transplants as the result of bad practice in the hopes of raising awareness and making people aware of the red flags to look out for when researching clinics.

Would anyone be interested in having a quick chat about their story and about potentially featuring on the show? As this is a sensitive topic, we would be happy for people appearing anonymously if they feel more comfortable.

Thanks!

Laura

I think it is beneficial that you have UK patients on the show with it being BBC1. Hopefully, other members that have had unsuccessful hair transplants reach out to you.

In my hometown of Glasgow there were a number of victims of KSL hair. I remember reading in the paper that some of the patients were seeking legal action, although I'm unaware of the outcome. I do know that the clinic closed down -- in Glasgow, that is. (I think they may be still operating elsewhere.) Also, if you search on YouTube, you can find videos, posted by those who are unhappy with the results of their surgery. Not sure if any of this helpful, but all the best.

The Ksl victims have their unfortunate stories documented on this forum. I`m not aware of any YouTube videos posted by the patients themselves.

I wasn't referring to KSL. I said that:

I was making a general reference.

Thanks for clarifying as it did sound like you were referring to KSL.
