He chose Kumar after a consultation at Eugenix, where he was told only a junior doctor would make the incisions. At 3.5 months he reported fabulous results and was super happy; at 8 months he said the results had come together really well, with most people unable to tell it is a transplant. One commenter replied with the word cobblestoning.

At 5 months he and his surgeon were very happy with the design. One commenter criticised the graft dispersal and concentrated donor harvesting, and others said the posts looked promotional; he denied advertising.
