10 months post op coverage is sparse. Do my 10 month results look on track? (Photo)

Question

It has been about ten months since I got a hair transplant on my frontal hairline and crown areas. I had around 3900 grafts transplanted in total. I'd like to know whether I should be worried about the lack of coverage or whether this looks appropriate for a 10 month post op procedure?

You do not show your frontal hairline, so it is impossible to make a rough guess about how many grafts may have been used for the front compared to the crown. You could see a few stragglers pop in. Given your hair loss characteristics, you probably had a minimal loss in the crown. It is impossible if they claimed to have put 3,900 grafts in your crown. There wouldn't be room for 3,900 grafts without putting hair on top of hair. This competing blood supply would also ruin the graft yield. I hope they lied to you about how many grafts they took out. Your scalp donor area may be close to depletion if they are honest. Provide more details for a better analysis.

From the photos, it is difficult to judge about how the result of the hair transplant turned out since I'm not sure which ones are the before of after photos. I highly recommend you to contact your surgeon who did the surgery for you since he/she has the record and also your photos before the surgery. It would be easier to compare. I hope this help.

Hello and thank you for your question.  It's difficult to tell given the pictures you provided. I can't see if you had grafts placed in the front.  It doesn't look like 3900 grafts were placed in your crown.  Best of luck to you.
