Hair transplant FUE 1600 grafts

Question

I had a FUE hair transplant 2 months ago. 1600 grafts. I was balding from the crown. Now my original hair is growing back very very thin. The doctor instead of concentrating on the bald spot focused more on the hair line saying the bald spot would be covered with a comb over. I haven't been out since the surgery because I am concious. will I look like attest what I used to look like ?

Thank you for your question, bugsbugs. It would be helpful to see pictures alongside your description. You are in the initial stages of your regrowth process, and will be able to judge the completed procedure at 6-12 months post-op. I suggest you continue to have open and honest dialogue with your board certified facial plastic surgeon where you can express your concerns. Best wishes,

If your doctor didn't do what you wanted, and you already had the surgery there isn't much you can do at this point.

You'll need to wait one year to figure out if the said strategy will recreate the look you want. Camouflaging the crown properly is among the most challenging and artistic of all procedures.

You really won't see what you actual got until 8 months have passed. IF you are concerned, go back to your doctor and confront him wiht your concerns. He should respond correctly with care and understnding.
