I had a hair transplant procedure done by Dr. Katona at Medical Hair Restoration, which is located in Oak Brook, IL. That was the worst decision that I ever made. I am so disappointed with the final results and all the pain and suffering that they have caused me.
When I went to Medical Hair Restoration for the first time to have a consultation, MHR representatives showed me pictures of prior patients with their past and present pictures. I told them to show me pictures of people that were in the same condition that I was before the surgery and there results a year later.By looking at those pictures, I was impressed. The pictures of those patients showed a full head of hair after the surgery. I asked the representatives how many strands they had added on those people and they told me that it was close to 2000. From looking at the density of my hair from the back, they assured me that it would produce more than 2000 strands. They also told me that any additional strand after the 2000 mark that they add will be free.
When, I meet with Dr. Katona, he assured me that he could get more than 2000 strands added to my head from looking at the density from the back of my head. He also told me that there would be no problem covering the entire bald area of my head with hair. After hearing all of this, I came to the decision of having this procedure done.
Was that a huge mistake. After the surgery, they brought to my attention that they only put a little over 1700 strands on my head. They only covered one-third of my head. The density of the hair is no resemblance to what Dr. Katona's representatives showed me and what I was promised. If you take a look at my head where the hair restoration was performed, you can still see all the bald area. The bald area stands out more than the transplanted hair.
I went back after the surgery for follow ups and always brought up the question: Where is the hair that you promised me. I even challenged Dr. Katona and his representative to use my before and after pictures on their advertisements and website, but received no positive response.
Dr. Katona, his staff, and Medical Hair Restoration are a disgrace to the hair restoration profession.
I would strongly discourage anyone from going to Medical Hair Restoration, especially Dr. Katona's office.
