Dr. Sandelewski disfigured me. It's not about the poor effect of the transplant (it was tragic, a few dozen hairs grew in different directions, but I would have given up on that, my stupidity, I should have shaved my head straight away and not messed around). It's about what he left on the back of my head.
The transplant was done in Bielsko-Biała with a strip of skin cut out. Dr. Sandelewski assured me that the strip would be small and could be easily hidden under the hair. In reality, a very large part of the back of my head was left with a scar and no hair. To cover it up, I had to start wearing long hair there, which looked ridiculous with my gaps in the front of my head.
After a few months, I went back to Dr. Sandelewski. He must have been terrified, because he offered a second procedure completely free of charge. I agreed, but the procedure did nothing but cause pain. There was no more hair, the bald spot on the back of my head did not get smaller despite re-sewing. After a few more months, Dr. Sandelewski offered another free procedure, but even I could see that it didn't make any sense. I waited a little longer, hoping that maybe there would be some effect after all.
Finally, I wrote Dr. Sandelewski an email asking for a refund of the transplant costs. It wouldn't have been any compensation, but at least I would have the money to look for someone who knows about this and would try to fix it all for me. Many years passed and I didn't get any response to that email.
After some time, I found a real specialist. He improved the procedures performed by Dr. Sandelewski as much as he could. He managed to transplant a lot of hair to cover the ones sticking out in different directions, and most importantly, he reduced the scar area at the back of my head by about three times. It's still big, but compared to what it was, it's nothing.
