I believe this is the 3rd case I've seen from Eugenix with weird angles. Have you spoken with them about this temple? I can't imagine that they wouldn't offer to repair it. I know you said grown out it doesn't bother you but I'm sure it'd be nice to have this fixed. Hairline looks excellent though.

Completely agree. I think in a few months you'll at least get a better idea. For the moment, it's best to sit tight and let it grow. That's not to say that you can't have some concerns but the end result is what counts.

My guess is that you'll have to wait almost a year to see the final results for them to perform a repair though.

Have you reached out to Eugenix about it?

Really I think it's a valid question to ask. I'm not sure how much he charges but I'd like to think a well respected Dr can answer this question and understand the concern that you have. I bet most Dr's don't do weekend procedures but I'm just guessing here. I would just ask if it's normal for weekend procedures? How often do you schedule weekends?

Can we get an update?

Looking good. Looks like you're turning the corner and I believe the next 2 months will show more obvious progress. I can see little hairs popping through. Thanks for the update.

Looks really good and natural and it will only get better. Thanks for sharing.

Someone else recently posted about bad angles from Eugenix. Like you, they just recently had surgery. Most people thought it was hair starting to shed, thus the angles were not as they were Implanted. I'm honestly not sure if that's the case here but I do know that all you can do is wait at this point. Have you spoken with the clinic about this?

Honestly I'd consider a touch up with HLC. Although they might not be your favorite now, they have every reason to get this right now. Looks like you won't require much to fix the spots of low density. I think you really want to lower your hairline but I think it looks fine. Are your results perfect? No. Can HLC make good on this? Probably. I highly doubt that they will refund anything, especially 50%. I'd be shocked if they offer any money considering it looks decent. Either way, I wish you luck and please keep us posted on what happens. Thanks for sharing 👍

I like this plan. I think Dr. Mwamba has multiple clinics as well so this could also be an explanation. Maybe he's at his other clinic like Mon - Wed then travels? Certainly I'd ask though. My main concern would be the staff. Most Dr's don't mind putting in longer hrs but usually the staff isn't thrilled about it.

Same..maybe it was edited? I swear I remember NW5 too but maybe we're both crazy 🤪 lol

Also, you're never too deep into the process to cancel if you see red flags. Not at all implying this is one but I'm just saying that if you start to feel uncertainty about other things as well, canceling is always an option.

I'm not sure it's just your mind. I think the concern is valid and it's reasonable to ask the clinic about this. I wouldn't be crazy about it and imply that he's overbooked but asking them if it's normal for weekend surgery doesn't seem out of line. Maybe you'll get an answer that puts you at ease. I do think that it's a little odd but really good Dr's are usually addicted to their job. My orthopedic works like 15 hr days 5 days a week and then performs emergency surgery on weekends. He basically has no other life. He's a top surgeon in the US. This is just an example of course. For a HT this seems a little odd but like I said, what's the harm in asking.

I doubt it's related but seek a medical opinion from a neurologist. I'm sure they'll run a few tests on you. Are they migraine headaches? Since you said minor, I doubt it's a migraine though.

Please create a thread and share pictures. Your story can help others from making the same mistakes.

Looking good! Next 2 months should see a significant improvement.

Well I don't remember anyone questioning his packages but maybe some people did. What I do know is that just a few days ago, several people were asking if he actually had the proper equipment to perform a HT with consistent results. I'd think this is a very serious allegation that should be easily addressed. Either he has microscopes or he doesn't. The fact that he's currently ordering more says something but doesn't say what he's currently doing. I'm not sure why this question seems to be getting dodged but it's been asked several times. How can someone decide to go to this Dr without knowing if he has what is considered basic equipment. I'm not saying that he doesn't have microscopes but if this question keeps getting left unanswered then what should we believe?

Maybe I am mistaken but I thought the Dr's response was to explain why @digi23 had an issue and to highlight if he actually has the proper equipment required for a good result. Both questions were raised on this post. Neither of which were explained and instead we got some Pandemic blaming. While I agree that the result isn't horrible (temples look pretty bad), several people including other Dr's highlighted the need for microscopes to sort grafts. If I was a patient looking at this Dr, I still wouldn't be sure that he has the issue resolved that led to this post from his response. If I am misunderstanding something then I apologize.

With all due respect to the Dr, I'm not sure what the Pandemic has to do with providing a bad HT. He said he had to lower his cost so I'm assuming this just means he was doing more surgeries per day? Some of which were unsupervised and he didn't have the proper equipment to ramp up like this? If he did the same amount of surgeries per day but just a lower cost option, then what was different about the process which caused poor quality? Again, this is speculation because the Dr didn't point to any logical reason for bad results. In fact he seems to imply that for the Pandemic years, bad results may have been more common than we are led to believe. It's also not clear if he has microscopes currently or if he just didn't have enough equipment to ramp up his business model. While I'm glad he replied and is trying to address the issues brought up in this post, I just feel like the answer falls a little short on details.

Where are you from? I had some anxiety about it myself, but it also depends on where you are going. If you look at some top Dr's in Europe, this shouldn't be an issue. Have you decided on a clinic? Maybe we can guide you if you share more details.

If you're asking us for advice, pictures would be helpful.

Stay away from Turkey on this next round. I think with somewhere between 700 and 1k grafts you'll see a vast improvement. Select a top surgeon this time, especially since it's the hairline that needs to be touched up. Look at Dr's like Dr. Bisanga or Dr. De Freitas.

I'd cancel this surgery. Regroup and seek out a better known clinic with posted results from real patients. Where are you from?

Looks like it's starting to take off. Definitely thicker than before. Thanks for sharing and please keep us updated in the coming months.
