Mine was over 80 in some areas, with complete randomness and no rows.  

You are a rear exception

@stephcurry30 did you look at the .pdf I linked to? See how natural hairs grow in groups of row-like patterns. I could see this exact pattern when I shaved the back of my head for my procedure with Dr. Hasson. Below picture is from their .pdf which I linked to.

I can't speak to how Dr. Wong implants. But Hasson implanted me at 85 FU per cm2, and I can assure you it does not look like rows the way you describe it.

As an exercise, you could try marking out 1 sq cm on a piece of paper, grab a pen, and try filling in as many 'dots' as you can. You can fill much more 'dots' using a pattern similar to the above pictures vs. a complete 'random walk' pattern. Keep in mind there must be a certain minimum distance between incisions to make sure there is enought support around each graft and the incisions does not collapse on each other. If you want a density almost matching your native density, this is the way you should implant in my opinion. But they need to be staggared, of course, as is seen in the picture above.

Note 1: all the cases you linked to are from Dr. Wong, and all those patients where implanted among existing hair, i.e., not a completely bald scalp.
Note 2: JT talked about this implementation method/pattern in an extensive Reddit post some months back

You cant seriously believe he implanted you with 85g/cm2

Who the f*** operates on a 19 year old? Please share the name of the doctor. 
You should wait 3 more months for the result

I still cant understand how such a well regarded Dr implants on rows

What is it that makes it looked stressed though? Is it that it appears thinner than the hair that wasn't used for donor around it? Curious to hear your thoughts  

Yeah exactly, area looks thinner

Can you explain? Are you saying it looks over-harvested?

"Overhavested" would be an overstatement at this point, I would wait 2 more months to say anything

Good luck, donor seems stressed but recipient is growing well

Hey bro, how old are you? Can you post some pre op pics?

Based on your donor I wouldnt proceed with an ht

post some donor pics please

 I had a rhinoplasty also so it was all one package. 

This is a MAJOR red flag. You have to wait 6 months for your donor to heal and then evaluate if you have been overharvested, how does the transplant area look?

i have seen many FUE scar cover cases from Elixir 

are you in the US or Europe?

hair looks fine

mid and crown are super dense so no need to worry, however i wouldnt bring the hairline too far down, how far away from the middle of the brows is it now?

its not the end of the world to shave it even with fue scars

Noone cares and you cant even see them

below average density

any updates?

you can find countless cases similar to yours in this thread

Cant say for sure, do you ahev pics of your donor prior to surgery? Which clinic did you go to?

I understand you are having a bad time but the only way for people to help you is to post pictures so that we really understand what the situation is like

100%, you are an ideal candidate for medication

I dont think you are a candidate with this donor

implantation looks very dense, I am somewhat troubled by the looks of the donor but it could be just the picture.
