Please read the last part of my original post

Having my Dr Farjo consultation in 3 months actually, just because it's the best time for me that doesn't interfere with anything else. And 11 months is better for an analysis on the transplant anyway. So will update this thread after that. Someone on Reddit messaged me saying they've had their consultation at the same clinic and booked an appointment (which requires a £1000 deposit to lock you in) right before they saw my post. I mean best of luck to them I guess. Unfortunately I can't settle for a sub-amazing result

Always high forehead, never noticed receding over the years. HT 8 months ago, no meds prior, min for 8 months since, fin too for 3. The donor area doesn't look or feel any different, almost like nothing was taken from it I think it is starting to improve a little, the newest grown hair feels smoother than it used to (some parts still feel bad). Pic I posted was 1 month ago. post op. Pre op pics attached to post I've been told by some others they created a feminine hairline though this doesn't bother me. They also left a gap between the new and og hairline, I brought this up in the clinic post op and the doctor said it'll 'expand' and fill in when its fully grown.

The clinic is saying to wait til month 14 and that it'll return to normal. If it doesn't I plan to demand a refund (starting to look likely). I'll bring this up to the Farjo clinic though, if completely removing the last transplant is really a potentially good idea. You're just saying 'badly angled hair' though to explain the curly pube-like nature of the new hair, how does that create that effect? Surely it's a separate issue?

Even if the angle is bad I could probably work with it so long as the texture returns to normal, that's the part that worries me and I really can't find info on it. Even the clinic doesn't seem to have an explanation for this that seems intelligent or knowledgeable. Why is it curling and bitty if that's not what my hair is like?

I went to Merchant City Medical Group in Glasgow because it was local and to be honest I just didn't think I'd be unlucky enough to be done dirty. Should've put in more work and gone further I know... £3900, 2600 grafts So I've always had a very high hairline which has been commented on a few times throughout my childhood, never did bother me until further into teen years and especially now when its not a good look anymore. Haven't noticed any receding, been on minoxidil 8 months since the HT and fin for 3 now, oral tablets from Hims. When measuring with fingers, its 8 fingers from my eyebrows to my original hairline (where it peaks), 4 to the new hairline (a hairline which I'm very happy with). New distance from new to old hairline is about 1½ fingers in the center. Cool measurement system I know The density is awful but whatever I'll get another HT. I'm more concerned right now with why the texture is so bad. My hair is naturally very fine and straight, type a1 with no wave or volume until I start using product. The transplanted hair is curling, feels weird/bitty when running my fingers along it, and sticks directly out of my head which my original hair on top is being pushed outward by, I've had to just shave the transplanted hair for the time being. I really hope it's gonna return to normal because right now its unworkable... Going to have a consultation with Dr Farjo next month (after recommendation from Dr William Rassman who I had a personal zoom chat with), I'm worried he's gonna charge a crazy price like £7k-£9k which is gonna take a couple years to pay off in installments which I'd hope is an option. Huge worry is if it's still imperfect and I'm in debt over it. I'm young for a transplant but I don't want to live disliking going or being outside, wearing a cap if not indoors, feeling anxious and insecure ruining my mood and attitude, seeing friends less as a result, for literally any longer. So please don't advise me against a HT or waiting years.
