Did any one see the latest show of botched, its a show in the states where doctors repair and correct different cosmetic procedures,this eposide had a ht patient that wanted to repair his scar, they put a ballon in the scalp and put saline in the ballon to stretch the scalp.so there would be no tension in closing the scar.in the end the patient said he regreted the decision , but they showed the back of his head and you couldn't see the scar, and his hair was cut short. I don't know if he regreted having a hair transplant or the scar repair,intresting show.

That was quite the scar on his head, he should have walked away when they switched locations for his surgery.

Shame he ended up with the scar though as the HT didn't look too bad.
 
Not familiar with botched but seen a documentary on Discovery channel based on same theme, sad to see how improper surgery really spoil people life. What are laws against surgeons like these.

I skipped to the end when the scar repair patient showed his scar after the scar revision and the doctors on the show saying how scar revision may not improve the scar and that there's even a chance of the new scar being worse off. A better option would have been for them to refer him to a hair restoration clinic to fue grafts into the scar. This patient wouldn't have had to endure the tissue extender.

Have you ever seen the tissue expander method yourself Janna, it looks kinda scary.
