Hair Transplant Refund?

Dr.Rassman –
I have had a hair transplant at a clinic about two years ago and the results are horrible. I am aware that there is a consent form but is there grounds to ask for a refund?

If you have issues with your surgery results, the first thing to do is speak with the doctor who performed the surgery. Be frank and tell him/her what you want. It doesn’t hurt to ask, but full refunds are rarely given.

What is done is done and unfortunately there is no going back. Repairs might be possible, but a hair transplant is forever. That’s really the most important reason that every patient chooses the right doctor and does their research. A surgery on your body is not like buying a car. Do not go bargain hunting. Meet past patients to see the kind of results that the doctor does.

One other thing you can try — visit various forums and get in touch with other patients that have similar problems. You may even find you are not alone with that particular doctor. The collective experiences of patients such as yourself may be more valuable.
