Concern about my FUE progress and scarring

[Keith]

Hi there. I have just reached the 6 mths post surgery mark after FUE. This was done by Hair Growth Centre in Manchester. As you can see from the 6mth post surgery photo i have inherited a scar on the top of my scalp that formed after scabbing formed from Day 4 after surgery onwards ( see photo) i have also included a photo of Day 0 straight after surgery,

I am concerned on multiple levels , so was wandering if anyone could provide some advice on the following:

1) is there anything i can do to reduce the appearance of the scar ? i was hoping that hair would grow within it but the grafts have died so unfortunately there's no hiding the scar.
2) if i get another FUE done in the scar area will this be successful and how much will this cost approximately?
3) is the surgeon who did my FUE to blame for this and should i be claiming any compensation?
4) finally i am concerned overall with my hair growth so far after 6 months. I do have some hairs coming through but there is no thickness to it . I have therefore purposely kept my hair short as it looks silly with just individual strands with no texture. Is this growth as expected for the 6 month mark or should i be concerned?

I would really appreciate some advice on this ( especially form a Doctor) and hopefully some reassurance that my FUE hasn't been a disaster. .

Thanks in advance

Keith

Sorry to hear about the scar - I'm 6-months post-op too Keith at the same surgery - It hasn't gone well for me either.
A recent report from the Care Quality Commission has come out about the quality of the surgery and some of the revelations make it mind-boggling how they can go on offering Hair Transplant Procedures. Have a look by googling 'Hair Growth Centre Manchester CQC Report'. Technicians not qualified for local anesthetic, extremely poor hygiene, and risk of infection - which looks apparent from your images. What they are doing has to be borderline illegal - they will be able to get away with it too based on how under-regulated the industry is.
I'm going to give it another month before taking action on compensation, emotional trauma, small claims court.
For me, it isn't even about the money I've spent - it's the pain, folliculitis, bumps, very very little growth.

Sorry to hear you feel your surgery is not going as planned. Would you be able to document it in the patient posted results section?
