5 months post operation - normal thus far?

Hello everyone,
In less than a week I'll be at my five month mark, exciting!

I'm just wondering if my hair looks thin for the month I'm at?

I've attached a few images, some in really bright light, others in no-so bright.  Just to give a comparison.
One side is also thinner than the other.

Honest feedback is welcome, thank you! :)

Five months is still early to be judging the results. How many grafts were used? All the best!

does not look dense much but like ^ said its still early ish. 

Thank you for the quick replies!

Something around 3200 grafts.
Light is a big factor as to how it looks.

In my opinion, it looks to be pretty average as to what people see in the 5 month mark.  Lots of people see big changes from 5 to 6 months.

I'm not sure if it's just my camera/lighting or not, but the majority of people I see here on the forums at 5 months is thicker.

SeanTowman,

Based on the photos that you presented, I’d say that you’re right on track for only five months. It’s typical that hair transplant patients start seeing new signs of growth  between 3 to 5 months. I’d say growth is  already well underway.  Even when new hair grows, it typically starts growing in thin, fine and colorless and overtime it will thicken, darken and mature.  So I say that you’re in pretty good shape for five months. I look forward to seeing your progress and and result in 7 to 13 months from now.

Best wishes,

Rahal Hair Transplant
