  In Hair Transplant / By The Bald Truth / 6 May 2010

  Here’s another short segment that further illustrates why hair transplantation can’t seem to get out from under the stigma created, and perpetuated by the old self-serving guard of this field. Because of all the carnage caused in the past, and unfortunately still being caused by some in the field today, potential hair restoration patients find it difficult to believe that they can achieve the type of life changing results being presented by the elite members of the IAHRS. The good news is that great results are being achieved everyday. The lesson is, make sure to do your homework.

  Listen to one shell-shocked patient’s call as he discusses his feelings of betrayal and why he now has some serious trust issues when it comes to going through with his much needed repair surgery.
