Help after hair transplant surgery nightmare

Hi everyone, my names Tim

I underwent hair transplant surgery in April of 2022 in Turkey with the hopes my receding hair line that has plagued me for years would finally be sorted and I would feel confident in myself again.

Sadly this would not end up being the case.

The surgery appeared to go fine at first but as time went on it became painfully (and I mean that literally) obvious that things were not right. After paying out thousands for the initial surgery and then another £1000 for PRP treatment in the hopes it would help with hair growth, what I ended up with couldn't have been further from that.

Over time I was left with big painful lumps under my skin, areas of bleeding under the skin, nerve damage, painful sensitivity and a wonky hair line with only a few wispy hairs that actually grew. This left me feeling so embarrassed and disgusted with my appearance to the point where I couldn't look at myself in the mirror leave the house or see anyone in person. I ended up going into therapy to help me cope with the mental and physical trauma.

As a result of all of this I had to pay out for corrective surgery in London and then a further two hair transplants to try and correct the damage done and try and restore some of my confidence and be able to look ay myself in the mirror again. These have once again sadly not gone to plan and at this stage I can't really have anymore surgery so have to make the best of what I have.

I never expected to be in the position I am now and certainly never thought I'd be paying out as much money as I have to try and correct the awful mistakes made. A word of warning to anyone considering getting a hair transplant, I can only speak of my own experience and I would strongly suggest do your own thorough research before entering in to it.

This does now mean I have spent the past 2 years trying to pay off the debt I have accumulated while trying to correct the first surgery that left me feeling butchered. I have managed to chip away at the thousands of pounds of bills but now due to the cost of living, my mortgage payments drastically increasing (and like I mentioned above not thinking I would be in this mess) I am struggling to pay off the last part of all of this.

Its my 40th birthday approaching soon and I would love to have this all paid off and ended by that time in April so I can try and forget all about the pain and trauma this has caused me and try and enjoy my life again. I understand everyone is struggling at this time with the cost of living crisis and their own personal financial commitments. This may amount to nothing and I may even receive some back lash for doing this, but I am hoping there are some understanding people out there willing to donate even just a small amount or at the very least hear my story and maybe learn from my mistakes. Any amount would be a huge help, even just a £1 is a step in the right direction and I cannot express in words how appreciative I would be.

Thank you for your time and reading my story.
