had hair transplant surgery 20 days ago.The scar from the donor area (strip) is not flat but bulges out like a bump,detectable to the touch specially and significantly on the lover level of it.I have allot of scars where sutures where removed and big gaps of areas where is no hair growth Looks butchered.On advice of my surgeon stiches were removed 9 days after surgery.they were removed by person who has had no experience or qualifications in doing that (I was her second client and it was performed in cosmetic saloon where she is an emploee,the surgery was also performed there).She had significant problems to do it and it was very very painful when she was cutting them and pulling them.I found out after the stitches were removed that I had disolvable sutures!!Is it medicaly correct disolvable stiches to be removed by cutting and pulling from non trained person?I can prove this facts.I don't know do I have legal claim.please respond I am disturbed.

YEah, I agree, most of what you describe would be covered by informed consent meaning that the bad results were possible and you elected to have the surgery anyway. Check your paperwork though and if they never told you about the possible side effects of the surgery and scaring, talk to a lawyer but It sounds like you have no leagl case. My advice. Get over your self- shave your head and liberate yourself. Girls will go for a guy with a shaved head but they run from wigs, rugs and hair transplants.....

Better look through your pre surgery documents that you probably signed. More than likely they shoved a bunch of them at you when you checked in for the procedure. And in them, there are probably some qualifiers making it impossible for you to hold them responsible. If not, then talk to a lawyer. You must have some idea of damages, as well as or pain and suffering. He will explain it if he thinks you have a case. Most will discuss it with you without a fee, but handle for a pct .

Sounds like you got a quack. Never should any procedure be performed in a salon. I would see a legit doctor ASAP and get the work checked out. The doctor can also fill you in on whether all of this is out of the ordinary, which I suspect it is.

you defenitly have a case. if you have pictures of the stitches and the name of the person who did all of this, as well as proof that they where disalivable stitches, then you defenitly will get you're money back!

Just ask yourself how much you want to spend on an attorney. If you like the answer, go for it.
