I echo the sentiments of almost all of the other guys opinions above.
Wishing you the best, but patience is key!

Hi @Bigmac yes the clinic is aware of the situation and as expected have told me to wait it out as it's too early, they obviously said grafts are placed evenly but my eyes and current results show otherwise.I have seen many patient results where one side is not the same as the other. It could be just the growth rates, not the same amount of grafts placed etc. What is important now is that you keep in contact with the clinic, take regular pictures but as said before, try not to worry. Then at 12 months, if there is a noticeable difference, the clinic should work with you to fix this.
Hi Jay.Hi @Bigmac yes the clinic is aware of the situation and as expected have told me to wait it out as it's too early, they obviously said grafts are placed evenly but my eyes and current results show otherwise.
They have also said that they will fix it if does not improve, but considering my donor area and how they possibly failed to get a basic thing like this correct in the first place, I'm sceptical about returning to them...
Why have they taken hairs from so low, will these hairs be permanent if removed so low down the back of your head?View attachment 9923
Hi @Bigmac Yep, defo one of the negatives of travelling to get the op is not being able to go straight back if any issues arise.Hi Jay.
Very understandable that you're worried about returning to the same clinic, however it is positive to hear they have offered to rectify it if it does not turn out as expected.
It's a shame the clinic is not close by you, then you could have went straight back as soon as you realised it was not correct.
Hi @Pete from Farjo , can I still expect to see more hairs sprout through? as in if you look at the last pic of the hairline, will there be any new hairs growing in between the sparse hairline, as for now I can't see any new hairs or " dots" of potential new hair growth if i look closely at my scalp ?Definite change from last month Jay. Remember, this is the very start of things so it's normal for the hair to be wispy and sparse for a while as things slowly begin take shape.

Hope that makes sense.

@Pete from Farjo Thanks! that's good to know.Yes absolutely. It doesn't all necessarily come through at the same time. You should hopefully see more hairs sprouting as time progresses. You should also notice it change in texture and thicken up over the months which will add to the final result.
Thanks JoeIt can be a mix of finer and more coarse hairs, or more one than the other.
Keep going with the regular updates. As Pete says, there is an improvement. You could be just a slow grower. We all see the patients who have loads of progress very quickly but everyone is different, we all grow at different rates.
I'll tell you what I've told patients for YEARS. Don't expect a SINGLE hair to grow until sometime between three and five months. I've been consistent with this for at least sixteen years. The reason is because different people start to grow at different times. When they do, they NEVER grow consistently throughout the scalp. Some areas will sprout new hairs two months before other areas, or three months, etc. It's quite maddening, really in that you're subjecting yourself to psychological torture by trying to monitor your scalp for any new single hair that pops through!
I am stressing this because at this point, nothing you do, nothing you ask, nothing you read will change the facts about your case. You have to wait. The good news is that you look to be on track so try and have a more positive outlook. I wouldn't be saying this if I didn't believe it so I hope that helps.
