Hair Transplant Horror Stories

The Hair Restoration Industry Has Had its Share of Hair Transplant Horror Stories

Have you ever seen someone with hair plugs? How about someone who had a scalp reduction? How about someone who had 5 scalp reductions? Have you ever seen a flap surgery? Have you heard of a hair procedure where a balloon is placed under the skin for 30 days and inflated to stretch the skin? How about a hair transplant hairline which looks like a cobblestone road? How about someone with horrible scarring in the hair transplant donor site? All these are examples of a hair transplant gone bad!

Although most of these hair transplant horror stories are a thing of the past, there are still some part-time doctors out there with very little experience doing some very sub par work. With just a little research, you will most likely avoid these issues. Most of the horror stories include some procedures that not even don any longer. I have heard some concerns about hair transplant grafts falling out! That would be definitely included as a horror story!

Hair transplant horror stories are becoming less and less as the technology gets better and better. However, there are still these warning signs to avoid. As you do you research and look for the right doctor and the right surgery plan, make sure to do it well or you too may become a hair transplant horror story!

    Do not hesitate! Josh, Dr. Bolton, and the entire team are exceptionally professional. I flew from Massachusetts for my hair transplant and could not be happier with the results. Just look at the photos. The density is excellent and the outcome looks completely natural. The procedure was absolutely worth it, and I highly recommend contacting Great...

    I recently had a hair transplant done here with Dr. Bolton and couldn’t be happier with the experience and results. From the initial consultation to the procedure itself, everything was handled professionally and with great attention to detail. The team made me feel comfortable the entire time and clearly knew what they were doing. The work was...

    I had been to several hair transplant surgeons before Dr. Bolton. All were disappointing but Dr. Chambers who tragically died in a plain crash with several of his assistants. He and his assistants were excellent, but my hair didn't look that great and it was unfinished. In one procedure Dr. Bolton showed his sheer genius ob by being far and away...

    My experience with my hair transplants in Dr Bolton's office was easy and efficient. I lived 4 hours away, so I planed to stay locally instead of attempting to drive home after the procedure. That worked out great. I took my pain medicine as described, Got a good nights rest and drove home next day. I don't remember the time line, but the healing...

Our Pricing Philosophy

Please understand that we do not charge by the graft. In our view, pricing hair transplantation this way can be misleading. When a clinic says it is providing “1,000 grafts,” that number alone does not tell you how much hair you are actually receiving. Grafts can contain one, two, or three hairs, and each of those scenarios results in a very different amount of total hair—yet the patient is charged the same simply because the graft count is identical. For this reason, we believe graft-based pricing does not always reflect the true value or outcome of a procedure.

Instead, we have chosen what we believe is a fairer and more transparent approach: pricing based on the amount of donor tissue removed. Our planning is based on averages. The average adult male has approximately 200 hairs per square centimeter in the donor area, though individual hair density varies. Regardless of individual density, patients at the same pricing level receive approximately the same amount of donor tissue extracted, ensuring consistency in what is taken rather than relying on graft numbers that can vary significantly in hair content. While it is not possible to guarantee an exact number of square centimeters removed, we make every effort to come as close as possible to the planned amount—and when feasible, we aim to slightly exceed it rather than fall short.
