Hi everyone,
In July of 2009, I had a hair restoration procedure done at NuHart in Pittsburgh, PA by Dr. Boles.
Anyways, they said they put 1,000 hairs in the hairline, and 500 in the crown. Well, almost 2 yrs later, I would say MAYBE 200 hairs at the most regrew, and that would be pretty generous, that's honestly all the difference that I can see. I went back to see him last August and he even said himself that he could see the surgery didn't really work, and he had no answers for why, and that he would fix it for me, which turned out to be a big lie. 2 days later, his secretary who was sitting in his office with me when he told me this, told me via email that they would give me 200 grafts for free, but wanted $2,000 to re-do the surgery, and when I was there, dollars were never mentioned, he just said he'd take care of it for me.
When I was there, I also told him of numbness that I had in certain areas of my head, at which time he told me was extremely rare to still have so long later, well almost 2 yrs later after the surgery, I still have that numbness. Not as much as then even, but it's still there.
The biggest problem that I have is headaches. I talked to him about this when I was there, and he told me that he did not think that the headaches were connected to the surgery. I explained to him that I hardly ever got headaches before, they were so rare for me that I could count how many I would get a year on both hands, and now I get them every single day, and they last pretty much from the time I wake up, until the time I go to sleep. However, he told me that he's very confident that the two are not connected. I emailed his secretary or whatever she is a few days ago and she told me that the headaches are not connected to the surgery and that she's been dealing with customers for 14 yrs and she's never seen that happen before. I keep trying to set up a time to talk to him on the phone about this with her, but all she'll do is give me his email address, which he never replies to his emails.
About 3 weeks ago, I went to a Neurologist because I just can't handle the constant headaches anymore, and he had me get a CAT scan, just to make sure that everything is ok inside my head, to rule out any tumors, etc, and luckily everything came back normal. So, that leads me back to the surgery. Headaches do run in my family. My Mom gets them frequently, and so does my sister, they both get migraines, however, I've never gotten headaches until after this surgery, and I'll be 31 in a few weeks, so even if they were hereditary, I wouldn't think that I would start getting them at 29 and 30 yrs old? So I keep coming back to this surgery. I called my neurologist yesterday and he told me it's not migraines and he doubled the dose of the medication that he had me on for the headaches and I just started that last week, so hopefully that starts to help soon.
I would like at some point to get another surgery since this one failed, and I'm going to go someplace that will actually give me the proper results, however I'm very scared about that because of these problems I'm having. Would another surgery even work? Like, would another doctor be able to put hairs in the same places that didn't regrow before, but they would regrow this time?
Has anyone else ever experienced these kind of issues, especially 2 yrs after their surgery? My surgery was pretty small compared to some of the other ones, I only had 1,500 grafts done, or so they said. I even question that since so few regrew.
The last week especially, my head has been killing me. It's so sensitive even to the touch and like, my whole head just feels numb. I talked to my neurologist today and I asked him if headaches can make the head feel sensitive to the touch and he said they can, but I just don't know what's wrong with me and I'm starting to lose my mind over this
Is there a way I can have tests done or something to find out if nerves were permanately damaged? What kinda doctor would I go to for that?
Any help and/or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!
