I mean just a quick google search, checking out posts on here, and asking your own doctor can help regarding the timeline of beard grafts on the scalp.
Whether 8 months is a long time or not, is irrelevant. Wait until the procedure is done, then you can make a judgement. 8 months is closer to 6 months than a year dude..
and we aren't even talking about the timeline of beard transplants..
You're getting the poor guy worked up for no reason by spreading FUD. Happens in almost every thread. You have a few who jump the gun about overharvesting, blah blah, and 8 months later everything is fine. We all should know by now that results are final between 12-15 months.
If its bad then by all means take out the pitch forks. This applies to any clinic btw.
