Mine also cost me 10k for a similar procedure, I’d be devastated if my result failed like this. Check out my journey here: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That clinic probably implanted less than 1,800 grafts. How's your scar looking? If there's anything good about that clinic, it seems they produce thin FUT scars, so I think repair should be pretty easy with the right doc. 1 Dr. Laorwong - 1,837 grafts FUE + BHT (Jan. 31, 2023) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Z-- Posted September 23, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2022 (edited) This doesn't look great, but I'm not going to pretend that you're doomed. Honestly, this is a much easier fix than having your donor depleted and grafts misangled, though the growth looks super poor. You'll probably need a second transplant, imo. Would not return to this clinic -- it's charging a premium price for suboptimal results it seems. If you're young I'd be careful abt lowering the hairline. I think this seems poorly planned.

I'm 26 years old they said they were aiming for 1 cm lower of hairline but the results are very bad the name is clinic is natural transplants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member SeanT1 Posted September 23, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 23, 2022 Yikes, even looking at your image that is "a couple of days after the procedure" it barely looks like they put in much grafts at all. Imagine charging someone for this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted September 23, 2022 Valued Contributor Share Posted September 23, 2022 To be completely honest it’s questionable if you even needed a hair transplant to begin with? Are you taking minoxidil or Finasteride? Is there hair loss in the crown or other areas of the scalp? I wouldn’t do a thing until 12 months post op so you know exactly what is going on. Going by the pics you have shown it appears that your hairline is incredibly low (?). You can have this repaired but not before 12 months. I don’t think you need another hair transplant either btw. Just the grafts removed and placed further back. I wish you all the best and patience is the most important thing you need now. DM me if you would like to. 🙏 1 GATSBY 'UNPLUGGED!' 15,671 (3 surgeries) Grafts FUE+BHT Dr. Sethi Eugenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member FITA Posted October 2, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted October 2, 2022 How long did the shock loss / shedding last for by the way? As in, how long was it all almost completely gone before it started growing back to that? @Phillyman1996 Like others have said, it’s similar to the pictures for a few days after surgery, so you shouldn’t expect much better than that. Don’t you have any pictures from immediately after surgery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
