5 months post- op- Gaps seem too big/ scalp is visible after FUE. Will new hairs grow to hide scalp and be thicker? (photo)

Asked By:Alex J James in Dearing, Kansas

I had FUE procedure 5 months ago. It is noticibly thicker on left side than the right. But, even on the right, it seems quite spread out and you can clearly see the scalp between the hairs when looking at it, even from a slight distance. Also, the recipient area is still a bit red, which I understand unusual at 5 months. does not hurt/ not warm to touch just a little red still. I understand more growth will come, but looking at the pictures, might I expect enough to close gaps and hide scalp?
