    The OP had an FUE hairline procedure with Dr Manoj Khanna in Kolkata in 2023; the clinic said 2750 grafts, though the OP suspects fewer. About 2.5 months after surgery they described the density as not convincing, with a mismatch from a small donor area and the left side still looking terrible. The clinic said that area was safest for graft longevity and that some density may return, which the OP was not convinced by. They called going to him a mistake and asked about shock loss, SMP or a repair; commenters were critical of the donor management.
