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

fuelonghairfemaleMar 4, 2018
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.

If you are to use sunscreen after an FUE or strip surgery, it should be started after 6 months following the transplant. Prior to this, your scalp is still in the process of healing and is very sensitive. Up to 6 months post-surgery, your scalp will be more vulnerable to the effects of the...
