I really don’t see any major difference. only difference is my hair is much longer now. I still stand by what I said in the thread a few months ago, it should have been lightly packed. here is just the right hand side for now. Agree with you. Should have been an easy fix with 100 or so grafts in that area. Have you reached out to Eugenix? If so, have they given you any assurances? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member BaldReaper Posted February 13, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted February 13, 2023 The gap was obviously not shock loss and for a clinic of that level it is inexcusable to leave it unattended, it shows a low level of attention to the patient, the only acceptable next move would be a free procedure to cover it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, it is inexcusable for sure. It is something that was very obvious from pre and post surgery photos it definitely was not shock loss.

Eugenix standard response at this point is “doctors evaluation, everything is on track”. With this response I just will wait the 12months.

I’m a little concerned about the development of the RH temple and the naturalness of the blend with the existing native hair. however, another 6-7 months of progress to go! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Tommy1991 Posted February 27, 2023 Author Regular Member Share Posted February 27, 2023 After getting my hair cut today I thought I’d give you guys an update on those gaps behind the transplanted hair and some other concerns. I would say it’s predominantly clear at this point that it was not shock loss. Honestly, I can’t put it into words how frustrated I am with this and it just emphasises the lack of patient planning that was taken at Eugenix! I will call it negligence, such an unethical thing for any clinic to do. I’m becoming more alarmed by each passing month with the left hand side of my entire hairline, very pluggy looking, I do not see that those pluggy grafts were extracted. The right hand temple point does not look natural at all, very clunky and no natural blend. It seems like it’s even a vertical cut off at the point where it’s meant to recess… I have added a photo of native hair wet in comparison to the transplanted hair, you can see that the scalp is still a little pinkish 7 months on, but not really noticeable until shown like below! I will provide an update around month 10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member SoonToBeThomasShelby Posted February 28, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted February 28, 2023 Def not shock loss just a poor job by Eugenix. You have every right to be upset about that. It does look really good once it's grown in though. Hopefully you can get a good doc to fill in the gap. Thanks for sharing your story 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member shiba1985 Posted February 28, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted February 28, 2023 I am not for or against eugenix. I think they do ok work for the model they have established. Multiple surgeries driven by junior surgeons and techs. but your results are good, Are they perfect no. But even the best in the world that will cost 6-7x what you paid at eugenix get perfect results in one attempt. There is always fine tuning needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear, I choose the Dr Arkia premium package, she had full oversight of this from the very beginning. Planning, extraction, and majority of graft placements with exception of beard to donor area. Certain specific areas are good while other areas are not good. My expectations are not huge but I expected better. This is the issue, it is not "fine tuning" required... quite a bit of articulated work is still required before "fine tuning" even.

Come on pal, in no way shape or form is it amazing… improvement to density, of course. significant work still work required, unfortunately. No way did I expect everything corrected in one sitting. Just one of my concerns, this is far from amazing…. I do not see correction, only density added….. still extremely unnatural… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta admit though that there's something off with the hairline at the left frontal-temporal angle. Not to mention the numerous multiple grafts No doubt, there is improvement in density. The left hand side of the hairline was particularly bad from prior surgery so I did expect touch ups to this, but I did think it would be in a much better condition. I am also "hating" this bushy appearance on the right temporal angle, seems to be packed too dense and no major packing behind it... It is really impossible to manage unfortunately. It is not very often I see something like this from repairs. I have spoken with the clinic (not doctors) and they have offered a free touch up.. Of course it is welcoming they are willing to do that.. I still need to decide at this point. Edited March 24, 2023 by Tommy1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member BaldingEagle1 Posted March 24, 2023 Regular Member Share Posted March 24, 2023 I think you're expecting perfection, when even those in like middle school have unique hair styles. I do think its unrealistic for you to expect that type of perfection, but I sure hope you come close to it good luck, OP! Follow my Hair Transplant experience with Eugenix!

If you can show a temporal angle that is standard for looking like this, then sure. The bushy appearance at the lowest point of the temporal angle. There is no softening into the temporal angle. In my meeting with the clinic this was one of the issues that was 100% agreed between all. To remind you, this is prior this repair.
