Did I lower my hairline too much?

I received 2000 grafts in my hairline to fix it for cosmetic reasons as I was naturally born with a receding hairline. But I am balding in a few areas on my midscalp now and worried 2000 grafts was too much. First two pictures are before and last 3 are post op and now. I am 7 months post op still. I am a diffuse thinner.

Yes, was it your decision ? Do you know distance of your hairline from glabella ?

It's a little bit low, but to be fair, it's not fully 2000 in the hairline as they did scatter some grafts throughout the midscalp, so you may be fine. You'll need more grafts there eventually as you're thinning there, but you didn't really use up a whole lot in the hairline.

So it was actually another 500 in the midscalp. Total was 2500. 2000 was used for the hairline and temples. I wish I used less on the hairline so I could use it later for my midscalp as I am a diffuse thinner..

would this change your opinion?
