A Balding man says he has been unable to work after a hair transplant that let him let him.
Mark Sweeney, 57, was sure to take professional treatment at the Merchant City Medical Center in the city center of Glasgow.
She chooses the clinic after listening to nightmare reports about people who had surgery abroad.
But his hopes of a thick hair head turned into a nightmare when his transplant left him with a large area marked by the skin at the top of his medium.
He argues that the process he has let him leave him unable to work as a waiter as he cannot deal with the public and must wipe his hair forward to cover the ugly skin.
Mark said in the archive: “They have destroyed my life, they were completely destroyed and destroyed my life and I can’t do anything about it.”
Mark abandoned his job as a waiter at the Glasgow’s Butyro Restaurant because he could not face seeing the public.
From transplantation he suffers from anxiety and depression due to poor self -image and has been placed in medication by his GP.
Mark, who paid £ 3,500 for the process, has been left with scars on his forehead and a bald piece on the side of his head, where cuttings were taken.
He said: “I’m bald where they got the hair and I’m scarring on the forehead. I have a line of hair that is low on one side.
“What I do now is to raise my hair a lot in front and shave the hair line to try to conceal it and cover it.”
Merchant City Medical’s website says the company offers: “Hair transplantation alongside other hair treatments, such as scalp coloring and PRP.
Mark warned that other people are going for hair transplants to know the danger – even if they do the job in the UK.
He said: “It’s like a horror story from Turkey.
“When I started researching how to repair it, other surgeons told me that the cuttings were put in very deep.
“I also have a ridge of pieces and hits. There is too much graft in an area and I have a bald patch on the back where they got the hair.
“I only wear a hat all the time now. I can’t talk to people or look at them in the eye because I feel like they are looking at my head.
“I have grown my hair to cover the hair line, but it is very difficult because it is lower than one side than in the middle.
He added: “When I got the transplant, he was executed by a Romanian man who worked with technicians who I think was from Pakistan. None of them could speak English very well.
“They had communication problems with each other.
“The young boys who do most of the job explained that they should talk in their own language because they didn’t speak English well and that they were only in the country a few weeks.”
Mark is now saving money to have his hair line to be placed in a US clinic.
He said: “I have sent photos to America to the only person in the world who can repair it. People tend not to want to comment on other people’s work, but kindly they say it is a bloody mess and it is the worst they have ever seen.”
Merchant City Medical Managing Director Paul Mulholland confirmed that Mark was a patient in his installation.
He added: “Mark appeared yesterday in our office and he was told to leave.”
