I've only started looking recently, not since the procedure 12 years ago. To be fair, I wouldn't call anything "botched"... but I am disappointed with the density of the transplanted area, which has happened over time and their patient follow up was really lacking. But to answer your question on why I haven't consulted anyone to this point, I suppose I have several reasons. One, my recovery was very long and difficult. Not sure why, but it seemed to take me a lot longer to heal than expected/what I saw regarding other people's, so I wasn't exactly raring to jump back into something like that again. And for a while afterward, the results seemed fairly decent. But over the years, taking into account non-transplanted hair, the area seems way thinner than it should be. I've also been dealing with long-term health issues over the years, which I'd convinced myself could have some effect on my particular hair woes and was hoping that as I dealt with these, I might have more return naturally and/or make any future transplantation more viable. Lastly, I haven't been in a place financially to even consider it until recently and I didn't realize there was such a vast medical tourism industry surrounding hair transplants either. Believe me, I would much rather have spent the last dozen years with less scalp visible too.
