Why is it so hard for a Hair Transplant Dr to do Side Burn transplants correctly?

January 30, 2017
Asked By:sdjack in San Diego, California

I've had 2 FUE procedures now and both times the doctor has failed to create natural looking sideburns. She can't get the angle right so it looks unnatural and I had the grafts removed (no refund!). The hair must grow almost straight down and flat on the skin in order to look natural. Both times, in my situation, the hairs where at a 45 degree angle or higher! Is this just pure incompetence and lack of skill or is there some reason why it is hard to do?
