NHS 工作人員湯姆布雷特 (Tom Brett) 被降價植髮承諾吸引到土耳其

成本只是英國價格的一小部分，而且這似乎是解決他稀疏頭髮的理想方法。然而，在花費了大約 1,300 英鎊後，湯姆的夢想手術變成了一場噩夢。

An NHS worker was left with nerve damage and patchy bald spots after being "lured" to Turkey for a cut-price hair transplant.

一名 NHS 工作人員被「引誘」到土耳其進行低價植髮手術後，留下了神經損傷和斑狀禿斑。

Tom Brett, from Portsmouth, began losing his hair at 20 and was desperate for a solution when he saw an online ad for a Turkish clinic offering the procedure at a fraction of the UK cost.

來自朴茨茅斯的湯姆·布雷特(Tom Brett) 20 歲時開始脫髮，當他看到一家土耳其診所的在線廣告，提供該手術的費用僅為英國的一小部分時，他迫切需要解決方案。

Believing the clinic sounded "professional" and that he was being promised "great results," Tom booked the procedure, which he said ended up being a "nightmare."

湯姆相信診所聽起來“專業”，並向他承諾“效果很好”，因此預約了手術，但他說這最終成為了“噩夢”。

After paying around £1,300 for the transplant, Tom was left feeling "completely abandoned" by the clinic when he reached out to them about the disastrous aftermath of the operation.

在支付了大約 1,300 英鎊的移植費用後，當湯姆向診所詢問手術造成的災難性後果時，他感覺自己被診所「完全拋棄」了。

He said: "They just ignored me. I was left to deal with this mess on my own."

他說：“他們根本不理我。我只能自己處理這個爛攤子。”

The clinic had promised Tom a lush mane of hair, but instead, he said he ended up with nerve damage and patchy bald spots, which left him feeling "devastated."

診所答應湯姆有一頭茂密的頭髮，但他說他最終卻出現了神經損傷和斑片狀的禿斑，這讓他感到「崩潰」。

"The hair didn't grow properly, and I had bald spots. I was gutted," he added.

「頭髮不能正常生長，而且我有禿斑。我很傷心，」他補充道。

"I had trusted them with my appearance, and it had ruined me. I needed help."

“我在外表上信任了他們，但這毀了我。我需要幫助。”

Thankfully, Tom was able to get help from Dr Roshan Vara, a UK-based hair transplant surgeon, who stepped in to rectify the botched procedure.

值得慶幸的是，湯姆得到了英國毛髮移植外科醫生 Roshan Vara 醫生的幫助，他介入糾正了這個拙劣的手術。

Tom said: "Meeting Dr. Vara was like a breath of fresh air. He was professional, caring, and there for me every step of the way.

湯姆說：「見到瓦拉醫生就像呼吸了一口新鮮空氣。他很專業，很關心我，每一步都在我身邊。

"He stayed with me throughout the whole procedure, making sure I was comfortable. It was completely different from my experience in Turkey."

“在整個手術過程中他一直陪著我，確保我感到舒服。這與我在土耳其的經歷完全不同。”

After months of Dr Vara's care, Tom's hair is now growing back thick and lustrous.

經過瓦拉醫生幾個月的護理，湯姆的頭髮現在又長得濃密而有光澤。

He said: "I can't believe the transformation. It was worth every penny. My confidence is back, and I'm finally happy with the way I look."

他說：“我簡直不敢相信這種轉變。每一分錢都是值得的。我的自信又回來了，我終於對自己的樣子感到滿意了。”

Now, Tom is warning others against being "lured" by the low prices of hair transplant clinics abroad, saying, "There's a reason the clinics are so cheap. I got what I paid for-and it was a nightmare.

現在，湯姆警告其他人不要被國外毛髮移植診所的低價所“誘惑”，他說：“診所如此便宜是有原因的。我得到了我所支付的費用，但這真是一場噩夢。”

"If I'd known the risks, I never would have gone to Turkey."

“如果我知道其中的風險，我就不會去土耳其。”

Dr Vara also offered his professional advice, saying: "While low-cost clinics may seem tempting, they often cut corners on quality and safety.

瓦拉博士也提供了他的專業建議，他說：「雖然低成本診所似乎很誘人，但他們經常在品質和安全方面走捷徑。

"Hair restoration is a delicate procedure. It's vital to choose a reputable, experienced surgeon who puts your safety first."

“頭髮修復是一個微妙的過程。選擇一位信譽良好、經驗豐富、將您的安全放在第一位的外科醫生至關重要。”

Tom added: "Do your research. Don't be lured by low prices. A cheap transplant can end up costing you more than you think - emotionally, physically, and financially."

湯姆補充說：“做好你的研究。不要被低價所誘惑。廉價的移植最終可能會讓你付出比你想像的更多的代價——情感上、身體上和經濟上。”
