This patient was kind enough to let us use his photo of his 5,000 graft FUE hair transplant in Turkey. Unfortunately, before the results even grow in, we know this case is a disaster.
The area that this patient is trying to cover is much too large to cover with FUE procedures. This procedure is even more of a disaster because of the severe damage that has taken place in the donor area. There will not be very many options for this patient moving forward, and we know he will not get the result he is looking for.
If you are looking to cover a large area, FUT hair transplants performed by the best doctors in the world are the only way to get a desirable result. Do not try to cut corners when it comes to getting your hair back. One mistake like this could prevent you from reaching your hair restoration goals.
Adrian received16,000 Hairs, 80cm2 of tissue, in one procedure.The entire area of his scalp was filled from front to back. The procedure from start to finish took less then 5 hours. This patient is in a class 7 category who had a prior, failed FUE procedure. You will see where the patient started prior to the procedure, what he looked like immediately after the procedure and then four months later. Dr. Bolton is the only doctor achieving these results. If you’re looking for more hair, less procedure time, shorter recovery, and better, more natural results, Dr. Bolton will meet or exceed your expectations.
If this patient had a consultation with any other firm or doctor, they most likely would have told him that he would need at least 2 procedures to fill in his target areas. They would then tell him it would take another procedure or two to achieve density in those areas.
Dr. Bolton was able to fill in both areas and achieve noticeable density in 1 single procedure. It’s procedures and results like this that make him the best doctor in the industry.
Dr. Bolton knew when the FUE machines were first introduced into the market they would be a blight to the industry. They are more hype and marketing than effective. As a matter of fact, they are causing a lot of harm to many patients who swallowed the many promises that were made. These false promises included that the hair transplant would be scarless, pain-free, you would be able to return to work the next day, it’s undetectable, and state of the art.
This young 28 year old invested a huge amount of money for his three procedures. His donor area is practically all used up and he does not have much to show for his three procedures and $40,000+ investment. We are now seeing Neo Graft and Artas machines on sale for a fraction of what was originally paid for them. It should tell you something when these machines were purchased for upwards of $80,000 and now are being sold for $5,000.
This is what the patient sent to us, along with his pictures:
“I’ve had 3 FUE procedures using the ARTAS robot for a total of approx 5000 grafts. My last procedure was over a year and a half ago. My hair is still very thin and I wear hats all the time due to the lack of good results. I just want to know if there is any hope for me to actually get some normal looking hair and hairline/crown or if I should just come to terms with failed attempts to gain my hair back and prepare to shave my head… thank you!”
These is what he has been left with after using this “new, innovative technology”.
Please note the thousands of pixel dot scars from where the machine removed each graft. The claim of shaving your head and not seeing scars is not accurate. Having thousands of dots is not better then one thin scar. If you have one thin, fine scar, your donor is left intact and you have options for the future. One or two FUE hair transplant procedures leaves your donor severely compromised.
Not only can you not yield a lot of hair for any of the surgeries you are now out of options after just two surgeries and not much to show for it. With Dr. Bolton’s method, you are left with just one scar, even after three surgeries. Which method is superior?
There is hope for him. Dr. Bolton’s single procedure achieves better results that multiple FUE procedures could ever produce.
Here are the differences:
FUE/Robotic Procedure
Thousands of scars in a polka dot pattern
More expensive
Less results
Painful
Can be a multi-day procedure
Destroys donor area, limiting future options
MaxHarvest™ Procedure
1 fine, undetectable scar
More affordable
Unrivaled, dramatic results
Painful-free
Completed in just a few hours
Preserves donor area and future options
This patient had a very similar experience and here is his video:
FUE hair transplants are marketed as a scar-less procedure and it is simply untrue. In fact, it is quite the opposite. A single FUE procedure will leave you with thousands of small, circular scars all over the back of your head. The worst part is that most of the time, hair is harvested outside of the safe zone, which creates the possibility of the transplanted hair falling out at a later date.
If this wasn’t bad enough, the donor area becomes severely compromised during an FUE procedure, as it harvests from such a large area. This limits the possibility of future procedures and restoration options.
As you can see, FUE procedures are clearly not scar-less. With a shaved head, FUE scars will be more noticeable than the undetectable, trace line that you are left with after a Dr. Bolton hair transplant.
Dr. Bolton explains FUE procedures, and the many undisclosed risks, in the video below:
