Is it possible to repair the angle of the right side of this hair transplant through FUE? If yes, how soon? (Photos)

Asked By:htquestion

This is my first hair transplant. I'm completely frustrated with the hair direction on the right side. The Dr. asked me whether I wanted my transplant in the default transplant direction or in my natural hair direction. My instinct went with the natural direction so I picked it. The Dr. didn't talk to me about how unfavorable it is to recreate cowlicks. The result looks artificial. is it possible to correct the direction to the "default" direction in another FUE transplant without losing grafts?
