Should I be happy? Full of regret after FUE (Photo)

Question

I had my FUE 10 weeks ago and wanted to know if my pics look like progress? I’ve seen some pics on here of people who never seen much growth pass this point. As a female my confidence is rock bottom because of my hair line and right now I regret it. I had 2750 grafts to lower hair line and fill in traction alopecia hair loss. Please can some advise if my progress looks typical at this stage.

It may take six to twelve months to appreciate the results of a hair transplant surgery.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.

After hair transplant, it usually takes the newly implanted hair 4-6 months to grow significantly with final results at about 12 months after the hair transplantation procedure.  In my experience, new hair growth in female patient can take a little longer.

Ten weeks after hair transplant surgery you are nowhere close to your final results; your grafts have not even started to grow yet.  Give it 8-12 months then go see your surgeon to review photos and address concerns.

This is no atypical for a hair transplant at this stage. Some of the old grafts remain and other fell out. They will all grow in the next few months
