Patchy growth 157 days post op. Is it too early to tell whether my FUE hair transplant was a failure? (Photo)

Cheerful101843
Hi docs! About 160 days ago I had a fue hair transplant. It's been some time and my recipient area is still very patchy with little growth. I've seen photos online where people just 6 months post-op have amazing results. Is it too early to tell whether my HT was a failure? I did everything as advised by the clinic. I slept properly, was very cautious with the recipient area. Day ten I started massaging it gently while washing, lots of crust came off. Thank you for the answers.
