Afronation

Seems stupid to keep the same hairstyle that led to the problem in the first place

I think it's more like "tenting" than cobblestoning

It's not denser, it's just longer

Not quite right. Many with darker skins suffer from what is called Post inflammatory Hyperpigmentation or PIH. Basically, melanin accumulates in the area where the skin is broken and while it generally disappears of its own accord, it can take months.

Simply stunning

Thanks I've been contacted by Dr. Mwamba and am discussing my options.

Appreciate the encouragement. Thanks

I didn't imply that I'd been purposely ignored. I just said I'd approached both you and Pat and heard absolutely nothing which was, indeed, the case. It was a factual statement; how you interpret it is entirely up to you. Anyway, I thank you for contacting Dr. Mwamba and I will await his response.

Wow! It's interesting that the first thing YOU do is insinuate that I'm lying - charming. Anyway, here's the screen shot from my message outbox complete with the dates on which I sent the correspondence. I won't bother asking you for an apology - it's enough for other forum posters to see how you react to patients. Rather than taking it PERSONALLY and taking an adversarial position straight out of the gate, you should have just asked how I contacted you. I can provide screenshots of my Yahoo email outbox with emails sent to Dr. Mwamba if you want to call me a liar again.

I last tried a few weeks ago. I just don't want feel like I'm harassing the guy

Firstly, I should point out that I approached both Bill and Pat seeking their assistance with this matter but after 3 weeks of waiting, I've heard absolutely NOTHING. Hence, I'm seeking the assistance of other contributors with a problem I'm having with one of the recommended surgeons. I had surgery with another doctor back in 2012 which didn't yield a good result. I approached Dr. Mwamba after hearing good reports and seeing good results displayed on this forum and others. Of particular interest was his experience with African type hair which I have albeit bot very kinky. After consultation via Skype, Dr. Mwamba estimated I'd need 1200 grafts to achieve enough coverage so the scalp did not show. We scheduled 3 days of surgery since Dr Mwamba prefers to have a limit of 500 grafts per day with African-type hair and I had surgery with Dr. Patrick Mwamba at MyWHTC Clinic in Brussels, Belgium in April 2014. I would like to make it clear that Dr. Mwamba was professional and attentive as were his colleagues and at no time during my surgery did I have cause for concern. After surgery, I agreed to keep the clinic apprised of my progress with regular monthly/bi-monthly updates. At around the 1 year post-op mark, I sent photos which clearly showed that my scalp was still visible in normal daylight. I received a response from Dr.Mwamba in which he clearly stated that "we didn't accomplish a full coverage". He said he'd be back in touch with follow up comments but, even after 2 or 3 more emails from me, I've heard nothing. I feel like I've been abandoned by my surgeon because I don't seem to be able to establish contact. The first three pictures are BEFORE WHTC/Mwamba. The second three are 12 months AFTER WHTC/Mwamba and, as you can clearly see, the scalp is still clearly visible in what is hardly strong light. The goal of this post, just in case you're wondering, is to open a dialogue with the surgeon so I can get the result I want.
