FUE 3000 grafts FUE , comparing results after 5 and 10 months. Thoughts? (photos)

Question

When I presented the results of a FUE 3000 grafts transplant after 5 months in this same site, the doctors responded it was a well done treatment. However, when I show the pictures regarding 10 months after the FUE was made, they say it is badly done by the surgery team. What can we conclude about it? Where can I find an expert in Portugal/Spain? Pictures are attached

It is difficult to predict any patient's results after 5 months post op. It may take 8-12 months before seeing the final results of your hair transplant surgery.If you are disappointed with your results, follow up with your surgeon or seek an expert in the field who can help you find a solution that meets your goals.

I would disagree and say it was a well done procedure but looking at your hair it was not possible to get a full head of hair with just 3000 grafts. I would say it was well done and that you simply need another surgery to get more grafts. We have a travel program that covers travel expenses for your surgery. I would suggest a repeat consultation to discuss options!

Unfortunately, I can’t refer you to an expert in the area requested, but I can suggest you go back to the performing hair surgeon and compare pictures from day 1 after the procedure until today.  You can definitely see a difference between month 5 and 10, and also keep in mind that you still have up to 3 more months of growth to obtain full results.  Comparing months you always have to compare day after surgery until today to appreciate or to even understand the results, and do it with your performing surgeon present if you have concerns.

The results of 3000 FUE grafts are underwhelming. I suspect that some of the grafts did not take and grow
