I've done pretty much the same during my first FUE, I gently pulled off pieces of scab without realizing it, thinking I am just itching. I paniced and worried, but looking back now it was for nothing, it turned out ok To me based on the photos I'd say you shouldn't worry, and just be careful

Wow.. quite shocking honestly, with that pretty tough norwood stage you had, that wide area of coverage with RELATIVELY not extremely density and small amount of grafts, you achieved such incredible results. Really, wow, enjoy this man, salute

Wow, that's honestly an incredible change in 1-2 months and to me this looks like a great result. I am so hopeful mine will also turn out better soon

Exactly, it was the previous' patient final hours, and did not consume too long of Mwamba's time, maybe about 4 hours of nett operating time which is when his team prepared stuff and did extractions and implantations. So at least that, and not a butcher shop

I can also attest that there was another patient on the 1st day of my surgery, who shared the facility and Dr. Mwamba while doing mine

Agreed, it can be the best doctor with the best tools and overall circumstances, but if the grafts are planted with far enough gaps it will eventually result to pluggy looking hair, regardless of how well planned that was. Some members here are genuine recent patients of the same Dr., and all seem to have similar concerns, this is why I am closely following this thread

We all seem to share similar concerns, I really hope we all find our most suitable solution guys, I will definitely contact the clinic when I hit 6 month In March

How is that nonesense? If he is atleast willing to fix his own failed procedure at no cost, that's already better than a "free PRP" after a botch in Turkey and a whipe off. It is unfortunate if others have got terrible results, I am a patient myself and also am very concerned.

If that's true and as a failed patient you have the option to go through a second procedure, that would indeed be a great resolution and comfort knowing that you are in good hands and money well spent. I really hope that's the reality

As much as I agree with you, for the price we paid we cannot settle for such result, if it were a 3,000 Euro FUE in Turkey I'd say yeah better than being butchered, but for 3-4 time the price I honestly expect something above "ok" 😕

Wow, @RTCI can totally understand you, and I can imagine that looking closer (as shown in 1 of the images) makes it really noticeable. Yes you still have more time to go and if the "in between" grafts which are singles and softer take longer to grow and eventually it will all mix up together and give you a natural appearance will work - that does sound logical to me though My concern is the gaps patterns of Mwamba's work, which I did find to be repeating in recent works, including mine I am very hopeful that this is not the cause of the pluggy appearance Hang in there man, hopefully you will find a good resolution one way or another

Thanks alot for sharing your input on this matter. I am refraining from making a post and including images until I am certain 100% that something isn't right, which right now is still not validated since it's still early. However, yes, I will contact the clinic later down the road and see how I proceed from there. Thanks again and good luck to you as well.

@HappyMan2021 or anyone, did Dr Mwamba offer you a free touch up as a resolution to the outcome? or you are returning back on your own initiative and paying full price to fill the empty areas? I am now month 4 post-op after a 2000 graft FUE fix with Dr. Mwamba, I am a slow grower as this is my 2nd FUE, but honestly I am starting to be abit concerned as I am spotting multiple empty areas across the recipient. Will have to wait for 6 months to reach out for a review and check-up, as suggested by his team.

Wow! big difference from month 2-3 to 5 I am now month 3 post-op after an FUE fix with Mwamba, and I still see little to no signs of growth, unfortunately. Good luck to you! and this looks like it's going to be a success for you

Well mostly the difference was the native hairs in those areas which after 2-3 years post-op, became bald as opposed to thin (where no transplanted hairs were planted) Coming into the 5th year post-op, in my 2nd FUE just 2 months ago, I had about 1000 grafts added to the previously transplanted areas (Dr Mwamba's clinic, who viewed my hairline carefully and it was evident that it needs a fix) I would say I lost just a little bit of the area where the transplanted hairline was made in the first FUE, which originally had no native hair in them, meaning the transplanted hairs were those that thinned out Again, not by much, but it wasn't the same as first year post-op.
