My doctor says after asking that those tiny dots in the picture provided are also transplanted hairs and not all of it will be able to stick out. He did a forehead reduction and had grafts in my natural hairline as well so it all flows together well. I am just worried looking at it as is, if it would end up looking sparse or healthy and dense as I'd like it to. He said don't worry but I am and would like a second opinion. Thank you!

Answer: Low density hair transplant Where did you have your hair transplant? Unfortunately, I feel that you will have a very low density result. From just a casual look it appears that the average density in the frontal region is only 5-10 grafts per square centimeter. It should be at least 25-35 in that region. It appears you only had a few hundred grafts transplanted when you should have had 1500-2000. Also, I note that the grafts appear to be misdirected and along the hairline they appear to be lofted too high. I am sorry to have to bring you this bad news as I can understand how stressful it is to undergo a hair transplant procedure. I too had one myself. If I were you, I would recommend visiting with a local experienced hair transplant physician and getting their opinion in person.

Answer: Not a disaster Being totally honest, it doesn't look like a very dense procedure. How many grafts were you given? I would normally suggest about 3000-3500 grafts to cover an area of that size. Time will tell. Your photo was taken only within days of your surgery so you have many more months to see improvement.
