Ah they are in the wrong then by backtracking like that at the last minute. I know what you mean by angulation anxiety. I remember from your previous thread re your first procedure in Turkey about grafts hairline sticking up. Was that any cause for concern this time around?

Well, Dr Turan has shown some amazing results on this forum, so I have confidence in his work.
I do question the current angles, but I think this is simply due to scabbing and is not the final angle.

The first procedure with Elithair, the angles are fairly similar to ||| , however, it surprisingly still looked natural.
Dr Turan's angles on the hairline seem to point at the temples, but again this could be a temporary illusion.

It is not a temporary illusion, this time hairs are properly angled and the whole idea behind this procedure, I assume, is not (only) adding some density but rather masking poor angulation from first surgery and turning your hairline into a more natural one.

I think you overthink too much. Dr Turan is a great doctor with much experience and he produces natural looking results. He knows what he is doing. So i should suggest you to relax and be patient for your final result...

I agree with you both, thank you.
Post-operation paranoia is quite common amongst most who have transplants.

Day 9

Scabs have fallen off.  I'm happy!
I noticed the left side of my head looks less dense than my right, I assume some hairs may have fallen out with the scabs.

I think realistically the density won't really be improved, you've just lowered the hairline. Did this doctor do other cases of improving density before? Seems lost in translation unfortunately- might’ve been better to just message them saying you only wanted density improved.

Hi, during our whatsapp discussion I spoke specifically about density improvements and temporal corner fixes.  They said lowering the hairline slightly in the temporal corners is a way to improve them without needing to reconstruct them completely.

Such plans was confirmed by the doctor himself, along with the correct estimation of 1500-2000 grafts. 

It was at the last 30 minutes before surgery they completely changed tune.

I'm hoping the additional hair will at least mask the overall density somewhat, if at all.
That said, time will tell.

Day 15

FUECapilar got in contact to say that I over paid for my surgery.  Apparently they had a package for under 1000 grafts.  So I was refunded 600 euros.  Making the total cost 3400 euro.

If possible, could a moderator modify the original post with this change?

In the meantime, the transplant is going well after 2 weeks.  No more scabs, I have been showering normally and got a simple scissor haircut to fix the back.
It's nice to feel normal again so soon after a procedure thanks to non-shaven;

Its really good that @FUECAPILAR refunded you a part of money. That shows an ethical behavior.

3 weeks post operation

I'm noticing a lot of shedding on the right temple already.
Hopefully this is not a concern as this is the area that needed most hair in my opinion.  I understand transplanted hair falls out after 2 weeks.
