what??? wow okay, I thought I was the one looking for advice, hence the name of the post, im from San Diego and I don't work in an office i'm a sales routeman for Kraft, did you want my address and phone number too. (I'll give it if you really want)Question, on a previous post "NEw Guy Needs Advice" why would I advise the guy not to go off of what I say, but rather talk to s.a.f, Cassin, and Petchsky. O wait I know, cause I work in the same office as them. I havent even recomended Garbutt yet, I just said I got a good price, I wouldn't recomend anybody until I see final results. I guess its too late now cause I already had the operation, but, is there anything you recomend I do or say to Garbutt when I have stiches taken out? I'm not trying to be a jerk, I too hope I made a good decision. Going off what you said about your cousin I thought Garbutt would be pretty good, is your cousin not happy, does he look like a doll head? That's my worst fear, aside from losing the rest.
Hi Maranatha - Perhaps you mistook my comment as being directed towards you. It was not. It was for JBD, who has since been removed from this site by the moderators. I was implying that JBD was the one who worked for DeYarman, based upon the fact he signed up for this site yesterday and has 2 posts. It was obvious he was coming to DeYarman's defense. And, for what its worth, I've seen plenty of negative comments across many hair sites about this particular doctor.
I am legit; just a guy like most here, gathering as much good info as possible in order to make a more informed decision.
Also, in regards to my comment on Dr. Garbutt. That was very true, my cousin is basically happy with the results. But, as I had mentioned, his case was apples to oranges in that my cousin is a slick NW6, and just wanted enough to reframe his face. As for my cousin's transplant, I'd say it was a success. I do think he could use a little more "thickening" work, but by no means did Dr. Garbutt turn him into a Barbie doll head. The grafts appear well-placed and from the hand of a very experienced doctor.
Quick background on my cousin, he's the type that waited forever to do this, decades literally. He was too afraid of ending up like a doll head, and it wasn't until he encountered a client of his who admitted to having had a transplant did my cousin seriously entertain the notion. I never saw his client, but my cousin was astounded by the fact that his client's work was totally undetectable. The doctor who created this masterpiece work was indeed, Dr. Garbutt.
As stated previously, my work was done by Dr. Cole. Hence, I only know of Garbutt's work through word of mouth and examining a single example of his work. Again, pretty darn good overall. But, for me, doing strip was just never an option I felt I could endure, hence my choice of FUE with Dr. Cole. Overall I'm happy, but I need lots more work. But, then again, doesn't everybody always need more? LOL
Happy growing, Maranatha.
