FUE Hair transplant 24 hours post OP. 2150 grafts. Thoughts?

[BoredMassively]

Hi all, I would love some third party opinions. How does it look? is it good work? is it over/under harvested? pass some judgement on it please!

I asked to keep as much existing hair as possible… I was treated very well on the day by my clinic and the aftercare is very good too.

I was told of the 2150 or so grafts, if all goes well, I should get around 5000 hairs. The surgeon seemed optimistic. 

Nothing like some third party anonymous opinions to validate or worry though! I’d love to hear. Thanks all.

Who was the surgeon?

Don’t think it much matters at this point. No thoughts on the work then?

Looks like a good 1st transplant - I'm surprised that the donor wasn't more spread out - but you can always do that for the next surgery.  I'm not a fan of such a small area being harvested w/so many grafts though.  Will be interesting to see how much density you end up getting visually speaking.

Next surgery? hopefully not, but I am prepared for that. Was made well aware of the need for future surgeries given I’m 24.

Do you mean density in the front or back? I agree the donor area is harvested in quite a tight box but 2150 follicles isn’t a massive amount

I'm assuming the doctor harvested everything from a small area so you didn't have to cut all your hair so short.  I would prefer a tight hair cut and getting grafts from all over.  That's what I did for over 5,000 grafts.  You may get 5,000 total hairs if you have enough doubles and triples but that's a generous expectation.
