Pekiner is fantastic. If I had a DeLorean I would have chosen him for my first procedure and would probably be done with all of this for a good decade at least.

Good luck

As the title suggests, is there any evidence to suggest that smaller FUE procedures (500 grafts or less) are any more successful than larger procedures in terms of yield?

Everything is looking great man

You must be thrilled so far

The scar still needs a little improvement 

Asking them questions is pointless

I specifically told Asli Tarcan in the consultation I didn't want to be over harvested and they did anyway. 'We use small punch blah blah'.

Go somewhere proper.

Don't go there. 

You've heard the warnings now so the ball is in your court.

UK is too expensive. Plenty of good surgeons in Europe and some good ones in Turkey first, a few mentioned here already.

Agree with @TrixGlendevon

Just punch a few multis out and recess the corners slightly. This will soften the hairline and make a world of difference. I don't think there's any point adding or camouflaging

If they punch out a few obvious doubles on the hairline I highly doubt you will get scarring. The risk of scarring increases if there are a lot of grafts and they are right next to each other, which is not the case with you. You're not removing the whole hairline, you just want to punch out the offensive grafts.

I'd also consider creating more of a recession in the corners. That will involve punching out a few more from the corners than in the middle. But will look way more natural.

Very good choice

I have met him twice but decided not to go with him as my case was a bit complicated and needed a repair surgeon. He is knowledgeable and realistic. A close friend of mine went to him and got good results, he was a Norwood 2.

Brother with all due respect every photo you post is incredibly zoomed in and at a weird angle. Please can you provide us with a clearer, more zoomed out photo. Ask someone to take it for you.

I would be careful of adding grafts in front to camouflage if your hairline is already low. Maybe you can punch out the multiples in your hairline and just reimplant them behind. That's what I'd probably go for.

Pinto.

Keyser is great but four days is honestly too long. Surgery is the most boring thing ever, and stressful, I'd rather have it over as soon as possible (plus pinto is legit world class)

I am sorry to hear this man

The sad truth is that you may just have to remove the grafts and shave everyday... not to be pessimistic, but just want to be realistic

Damn man, I am so sorry you had to deal with all of this. From the first to the last I know you really did not want to continue to another procedure. 

What are your thoughts on any additional work? I remember you saying shaving your head again and doing this another round is not something you wanted to do. But what would be your next goals realistically?

Brother, I am probably just going to do some graft punchouts and maybe just a modest session of donor to frontal hair line (like, very low, 200 grafts). And then I will call it a day. Bonus of that is that i could probably do unshaven fue too.

@AlexMeister21has had a repair with him

this is going to be A1 if all goes well. excellent work

Cosmedica just had a video deleted off my channel with a copyright strike.

In fact, the person who launched the strike was the user on this forum whose story I covered.  Make of that what you will. Avoid.

What cream are you using for recovery @Faisal Alsubaie

Did Dr Bisanga suggest any silicone based scar gel?

Wow brother... excellent result so far bro.

@Faisal Alsubaiemabrook bro.

Must be such a good feeling to get rid of some of those ugly grafts.

At what point were you able to sleep normally on your back?

I’m glad it’s sorted. I look forward to your next journey 🙏

Thanks for the help mate

So Dr Mwamba's clinic reached out to me today and have issued the rebate and also a free touch up. I had a good chat with them about what my concerns were and Dr Mwamba is trying his best to fix things.

I'm glad this is finally sorted, and to be honest I never wanted it to get this. I've also spoken to them about the lack of organisation from the clinic and it seems they have taken this on board for the future, mentioning some steps they will take to avoid stuff happening like this in the future.
