What would you do?

[Kiraly]

Hi Guys,

 

I have posted on here before about concerns l have with my results.

 

As previously mentioned l am actually very happy with my results. Especially on the right side of my frontal hairline. However from the middle, going back along the left side of my frontal line l am not as happy.

 

There are a heap of multiple hairs transplanted at the front and left side, with noticeable gaps between grafts (which isn’t the case on my right side).

 

I used a forum recommended surgeon for my procedure.

 

I have been in contact with the clinic to discuss my concerns. They will not do a Skype conversation with the Dr, only in person. They said they will perform a “touch up session” however l am unsure.

 

Would you

 

Do the touch up with the clinic? Even though they won’t do a video consult

 

Or go with another clinic seeing that l am less than satisfied with the clinic l used?

 

Thanks in advance

What do you need the video consult for? if they're already prepared to do a touch up without having seen your hair then all you need to ask yourself is do you have faith in the clinic who did you work. If you do not then go elsewhere. If you do, then head back. Sounds like you're saying you don't trust them to get the job done so your question is answered. I wouldn't put my head in the hands of a clinic I didn't trust, I don't care if they were doing it for free, I wouldn't care if they were paying me.

Hi Mickey,

 

I guess that’s the dilemma. I am partially satisfied, which is making the decision hard

 

It’s just a bit deflating as l did my research on this site and another and went with a clinic that is highly regarded.

 

Now, l feel it has to be improved, but now l have to go through the process of finding another surgeon. Cost involved, time for it to grow etc etc.

 

It’s just a pain in the arse. I can live with the result, but only in the short term

I remember your photos and thinking (and saying) that you had a very successful result.

 

It's not clear what your actual worry is. Is the problem a lack of density in one specific area? If a touch up (as in, more grafts) is being offered and is what is needed, then I would accept this offer from the doctor. Like I said before, your procedure looks to have been a great success -so with that in mind, it seems like a good idea to return to them.

Kiralay,

 

Good luck to you. You have a valid concern. If you feel uncomfortable, go elsewhere. You do not want to be in a position where you get no where and donor is beig depleted at the same time. Let me know if you have ang questions via pm.

Can u repost your pics?

It's a bit disappointing that Dr. Erdogan won't do a Skype conversation with you. I understand that he's a very busy man and his organisation must deal with a huge amount of correspondence but as a prior patient with concerns about your result I would expect you to be a high priority. Are they offering to retouch your hairline free of charge? If so it should be worth it as there's no doubt about the skill of his team. On the other hand, having viewed your past pictures it seems that your result is very good. Perhaps your expectations as to how natural a result you should expect were somewhat unrealistic.

Sorry for not getting back to your advise earlier guys.

 

The reason l wanted to speak to the Dr, was that l wanted to hear how he was going to perform the surgery. For example will he remove and or reposition the multi hair grafts that are near the hairline?

 

Also to discuss the number of grafts required. I feel that l only need a very small procedure done to achieve what l am looking for. But his patient adviser has told me to prepare for 1000 to 2000 grafts. I only want the hairline softened in the front and down the left hand side.

 

As far as naturalness, Thickgreen, I feel that my right side hairline is very natural and looks quite different to the left side. I obviously don’t think that absolute symmetry is possible with the actual design of the hairline, it l feel that the entire hairline should look sof. Not just one side

 

Again that’s why l am throwing the question out there. I am partially happy, and l just want to be fully happy. Will l end up throwing good money after bad if l go, get the transplant and end up where l already am right now and not totally satisfied?

I looked at your 10 month pictures. Your hairline and overall transplant looks good. I don't know your age, but you should not have another hair transplant for quite some time.
