I will be definitely getting another procedure. Uncertain about using a different doctor. I'm willing to be patient and see how it goes and what I looks like in 3-4 months before I make that determination. But most likely.

Seven month update. Things are moving along on the right side. Really weak on the left side.

And for reference, pre-op pictures below.

Figured some pre op pictures would help too. I also included my current picture with my hair laid down to cover the sparse density. As you can see, it's definitely an improvement. I'm happier than where I was. But will still need more work.

When I lay the hair down like that, I love it. It gives me a nice straight hairline and that's what I wanted. But for the past 5 years, I've styled my hair with a wave (as shown in the earlier pictures) so after the next HT, I'll be able to return to my previous style.

Thanks, Jonboy.

Thanks for the comments. I'm half way there and looking forward to getting this how I want it.

By the way, thought it might be a good idea to show you how it looks styled throughout the day (although the pictures were taken after the gym, so my hair is a bit frayed).

After my first post, I had to stay away with the negativity posts regarding my results. The responses really put me in a dark place, but here I am at 6 months in. As you can see, the results are light, as we expected. Although I must say that this is a situation where the pictures look much worse than in person.

With that said, I just lay my hair down in the front and the transplant is 100% undetectable. Six more months and I can get this fixed. I just have to remind myself that this is a "FIRST WORLD PROBLEM" and not to get down about it.

Also, the left side looks HORRIBLY sparse for a reason. Growth was really light there (I'm talking a handful of hairs) and so I trimmed that side until my hair was long enough to cover. Two weeks ago, I was finally able to cover it and stop trimming. Now it's sprouting at a decent rate. These pics were taken a week ago and it's probably improved quite a bit since then.

Any supportive comments are welcome and appreciated.

The doctor suggested around 1200 and we ended up with 1290.

Hello everyone,

long time lurker, first time poster. Had my FUE one week ago and received 1,290 grafts in the hairline to fix the recession. Healing has been going quite nicely, but I am concerned about density. I have researched a ton and looked at many pictures online, and I have a feeling that my grafts aren't as dense as they could be. I emailed my doctor to ask how many grafts per cm2 he placed and am awaiting his reply.

What do you think? I realize it is way too early to know how anything will turn out, and that there is a psychological aspect to this process, but I can't shake the feeling that the grafts could have been more tightly packed.

Pictures below.

P.S. - Because of the nature of my question and that I openly admit I may be psyching myself out, I will not yet name my doctor. And to be clear, I signed off on the number of grafts, and after the procedure, looked at the completed product and signed off on it. So if there is something wrong here, I am partly to blame.

Thanks for your help, fellas.

**EDIT** Not sure what I did but my photos uploaded upside down or rotated at an odd angle. Apologies.
