Please Resond if You've Ever Had Work Done by Dr. Cole (Hair Transplant)
» » » When I was 21 I got a transplant from Bosley. If I were wiser at that
» » time,
» » » I would not have done it because it used 2600 grafts, they were placed
» » » poorly, and the yield was small. Huge mistake, I know know, reprimand
» me
» » at
» » » will.
» » »
» » » Anyway, I have scheduled a session with Dr. Cole for the end of March
» to
» » » repair this mistake. The main reason that attracted me to him was that
» » a)
» » » his work looked good in pictures and b) he appears to get these
» results
» » » with relatively few grafts. Since I'm not even 30 yet and have already
» » » burned through 260o, conservation of grafts is a huge priority to me.
» » »
» » » Please anybody who has had work by Dr. Cole give me their feedback. I
» » » learned my lesson from the Bosley experience of doing my research
» ahead
» » of
» » » time. I'd really appreciate all feedback received. Thank you. I feel
» » like
» » » an idiot for getting the one when I was 21, and I want to be smarter
» » this
» » » time.

» » My first repair session was with Dr. Cole. It didn't go well. The "plan"
» » was a 500 test graft session of beard hair, and he talked me into
» doubling
» » the procedure. He was working on myself and someone else that day and
» was
» » present around 20-30% of the time, his techs doing most of the work. My
» » result was almost undetectable 9 months, then a year later. What
» bothered
» » me was he took scalp grafts (part of the "plan change", as the beard
» that
» » was going into the scalp went into my strip scars) and those scalp
» grafts
» » were scattered throughout a sea of plugs. It did nothing in the end.
» »
» » What really bothered me though was I wasted ten grand AND precious scalp
» » donor, got no results, and then he talked me into buying his snake oil
» » shampoo and conditioner for $139.00, truly adding insult to injury.
» »
» » The good news is you wont get butchered by Cole, the bad news is he is a
» » hair mill more interested in money than his patients. Don't complain if
» » your repair goes nowhere with him at the helm, I just related my own
» » experience, and would hate to see anyone repeat it.
» »
» » I think he is a good surgeon on virgin scalps but do not recommend him
» for
» » repair.
» »
» » This was MY experience, yours might be different, but you had better have
» a
» » GOOD plan worked out in advance that you BOTH agree on. I would NOT
» » recommend him for ANY repair patients based on my own personal
» experience
» » with him. I think someone with very minor thinning is okay but he just
» » didn't give a damn about any positive outcome with me in his chair, he
» just
» » wanted to get the 1000 grafts planted and get paid, and thats exactly
» how
» » it went down.
»
» Hmmmm. Were you a very difficult case to begin with? I guess relative to
» other cases mine is not so bad (here's a link I posted 2 years ago:
» http://www.hairsite.com/hair-loss/forum_entry-id-58226.html) Was your
» situation much worse off than mine? Also, you said your first repair case.
» Who was your second and did it turn out much better? Thank.
That link doesn't work for some reason, but if you type "my transplant looks fake how do I fix it" in the search bar, you should find what I was trying to link it to. That's the title of the post. From 2009.
