Hair transplant surgery is not for everyone. In fact, some people have been so disappointed and even angered about their results that they have filed class action lawsuits against hair transplant surgeons and clinics. There are several reasons they give for their dissatisfaction.

Underestimating Procedures
Certain surgeons and clinics underestimate the number of
procedures necessary to achieve the desired
effect. This leads people to have a false
hope of having a full head of hair in a very
short time. When this does not happen, they
are understandably angry. They did not get
what they were promised.
Underestimating Price
Surgeons usually do give some sort of estimate of the cost of
the entire procedure of a hair transplant. A
reputable surgeon will emphasize that it is
only an estimate and that things may change
once the procedures are started. Also, she
will give an honest accounting of what she
expects the procedure to cost.
An unscrupulous surgeon, on the other hand,
will distort the facts about his hair
transplant procedures. He will try to get
the patient started by stating that the
price will be very low. He will know all
along that the procedures will cost much
more, but he will lowball the price anyway
just to get the patient started so that they
have to finish.
Creating Scars
All hair transplant surgery will create small scars. Some people find
them unacceptable. They want to wear their
hair short, and they see the scar peeking
out from under their hair, even if no one
else does. Of course, there are also
physicians with poor skills who create large
scars and people who are prone to scarring.
Hair transplant scars are a sore subject for
man people.
Uneven hairlines
Some people who have hair transplant surgery end up with uneven
hairlines. This is caused by the oversight
of negligent doctors. If a person gets to
work with a reputable surgeon, things like
this just do not happen. However, if someone has seen a person with
this problem, it will likely turn them off to hair transplant
surgery for good.
Old-Fashioned Plugs
People with the large plugs that look like doll's hair or
toothbrush bristles are still around. While
this type of hair transplant is rarely done
anymore, the effects are still evident among
people of a certain age. If someone who
knows one of these people has a balding
problem, they are not likely to think of
hair transplants. The only way they would is
if they have some other, good, experience
with them.
Doctors Who Put Money above the Patients'
Interest
Any doctors who make decisions
that are not based on the welfare of his
patient are following their Hippocratic Oath
in its intentions. Doctors are held to a
high standard and when a surgeon tries to
convince a patient to get hair transplant
surgery when it is not best for him, he is
not really acting as a doctor should. The
horror stories are out there and many people
are aware of them.
There is a higher rate of suicide following hair transplant and other cosmetic surgeries. This is partly because the patients are disappointed that their lives do not miraculously change overnight. However, other reasons for their despair are poor results and unscrupulous doctors. People who are afraid of this misery are likely to bow out.
