I don’t get defensive when being questioned. I simply get annoyed when people act like they know everything.
Where did I mention that hairline design problem is not the responsiblity of the doctor? When, where? This is once again proof that you are wasting my time. Learn how to read before you start acting like you know everything.
You obviously can’t read, it’s amazing how you took a few words from my post, took it totally out of context and built your own story out of that. There is a word to describe that: delusional.
You even quoted my own words “Armani’s staff should have told you at consultation that you simply cannot get those 3500 plus hairlines using only 2400 grafts” and yet you failed to comprehend what that meant.
I don’t think the yield is the problem. He is at least a norwood 3 and I think the yield is there for 2400 grafts. That’s my point, I am entitled to my opinion.
I challenge you to find a 2400 grafts job where the doctor could completely restore a norwood 3’s temples and hairline. Please don’t weasel out of this. I am waiting.
who
SG did mention financial burden or something to that effect. What can I say, hair transplant is never a sure thing, if you can’t afford to lose, then don’t gamble. I see how some of you dramatize this to help him get a refund, that’s not an ethical thing to do either 
he is not even remotely butchered by any stretch of imagination.
btw, people assume and speculate a lot of things on these boards, john is not the only one, we are all guilty.

Just a reminder that the forum is created for the sole purpose of sharing patient results and nothing else.
Under no circumstances shall anyone use the forum as a platform to secure a refund, directly or indirectly, from their doctor.

Hair transplant is not an exact science. It is costly and there are risks involved. No one doctor can guarantee results. It is important that everyone carefully weighs the pros and cons before making a decision.
All clinics require their patients to sign a consent form before proceeding with the procedure. There is a reason for that. Do yourself a favor and read all the terms and conditions before you sign the paper.
