Dr. Lam,
I was/am a victim of a Dallas based franchise hack HT company back in 1988 (keep in mind I was 20)...I basically bought a 20k hat because since then I have only been in public without a hat a handful of times, due to my fear. I had 280 large grafts (the old 10-15 hairs) placed in my hairline front and behind as well as 40 minigrafts...get ready here's the kicker, they also performed three scalp reductions on me in-between!..I had major stretch back (which I know is common) but the scarring has called me grief beyond belief. I had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance recently (nothing to do with hair) and the paramedics thought I had previous brain surgery due to my mercedes scar throughout my scalp. That really opened up old wounds. I live in Oklahoma City (not far from your office) and would like to see you about maybe correcting this 20 yr old plus problem because at 41 I feel I lost living my life for the last 21 yrs and my quality life has suffered immensely.
Do you also extract the old large plugs and dissect them and replace them, etc?..thanks for any light you can shed on this problem that has plagued my life and emotional well-being for 21yrs.
Best-
Shawn
