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?

Answer: Is it normal to have "small holes" where the hair was implanted?
Suicidal thoughts and hair transplant surgery do not go together. If you are having suicidal thoughts, you need a psychiatrist, not a hair transplant doctor. I realize the thoughts may be from hair loss issues, but it's not a good idea to have surgery with such extreme views....
The direction of the hairs will not change over time. If it's an issue for you, you should talk to your doctor about what may have happened, since this would have happened due to inconsistencies during the surgery.
Each hair gives through its intrinsic hair cycle and sometimes it may take up to two years for all the hairs to grow in. But most of the growth usually happens between 9-12 months.
