Diabetes and Hair Transplant Complication

I have a related diabetic question and would like your opinion… I am diabetic, and I had a 1000 graft procedure done at a reputable shop. I had a severe complication, my scalp ulcerated, the “skin” just disappeared and left me with a large hole. I then had to have balloons placed under my scalp to stretch the skin and two surgeries under general to close the hole. Do you have any knowledge or experience with such a disaster?

I generally tell my diabetic patients that they are no more at risk from a hair transplant than any other person. I would want to know more about the surgery and what happened at the time of the surgery. This complication is one I have seen before when poor decisions were made at the time of the surgery by inexperienced doctors. I am not saying that this is your situation, but if your doctor was a good and experienced hair transplant doctor, I would probe more about why this happened to you.
