It is always a good idea to follow up with your doctor for a recheck and let the doctor know about your concerns. Surgical results are not always perfect and sometimes there may be poor growth.  Sometimes your expectations were not in line with what was actually done.  Finally, the result of a hair transplant surgery can take 6 to 12 months to fully appreciate. (some times longer).

Greetings,Although you are somewhat disappointed in the results to this point, the hair can continue to thicken over the next several months.  Of course, it is difficult to predict exactly what result will be achieved for each individual, but keep in close contact with your physician.  You may decide that you would benefit from more grafts to increase the thickness of your hair.  Good luck.

It is still an early stage to say yes/no for a hair transplantation result.On the other hand you may ask your doctor and let him make a comparison.Do not get upset, as for same cases even after 15 months there might still have acceptable growth.

They can take 18 months. They do not always look great, not everyone responds to treatment the same. Touch ups may also be needed.  2500g can be a small amount depending on the area you are covering, so spread it in a large area and it may not be dense.  It is good to stay in touch with the clinic as you are.

most people have 80-90% of the growth by 8 months so wait it out. IF you are disappointed with the early results, speak directly to your surgeon as I am sure he will be undertanding and will help you analyze what is happening to you. .
