Temples transplanted and the hair is drastically thicker. Any suggestions? (Photo)

Question

I had the temples transplanted and the hair is considerably thicker which stands out like a sore thumb when I have a hair cut. I have done my first round of IPL laser hair removal (at home) to thin the hair down (hopefully). I was wondering if any experts have any suggestions?

Hello and thank you for your question.  I suggest seeing the doctor who did the transplant or a reputable doctor.  You don't want to mess around with removing hair you just got via transplant. I would approach this with caution.  Best of luck to you.

Hello I'm Dr. Wipawan Vathananai, a co-worker of Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana, from BHI Clinic, Bangkok, Thailand. According to your photos, which are quite blurry but I would like to give my hypothesis about this. From the photos, it seems like they have put multiple-hair grafts to restore your temple peaks which ended up making this look unnatural. For the hair removal, your can either use the laser or ask your doctor to perform FUE to remove the unwanted thick hair grafts. Then, redo the transplantation with 1-hair grafts to make it look natural.
