Post op FUE 17 days. Does my hair transplant look good/normal?

Question

I got a hairline lowering procedure a few years back but got it repositioned and softened up as it was too low and hairs were too thick around hairline. It's day 17 my scabs are gone and hair is still growing. My only concern is that it looks like the transplanted hairs are kind of separated from my own hairline I got 800 grafts from the lower part of the back of my head for a softer look. How does this look is this normal? Does it look good?

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.  Your photos look normal for 17 days.

Postop day 17 is much too early to predict how your transplant will come out from photos.  You will need to wait 8-12 months.  If you are very concerned, you should visit your surgeon.

You are 17 days after hair transplant lowering procedure and the crusts are now off. What you are seeing is the hairs that remain and they may not reflect what was put in as some of them have shed. Be patient
