Ugly duckling stage or something wrong and not healing? (Photo)

hggyhg
i did a 1500 fue hair transplant about 7 weeks ago and the frontal area looks very different from the rest of my forehead. I literately can see hundreds of small holes where the hairs were implanted and it looks like the area is raised and bruised still. Is this normally and am I just going through the ugly duckling stage or is it not healing right being 7 weeks in?
