Follow up with your doctor and follow your doctor's recommendations. Post-operative care instructions differ between surgeons.

Over harvesting from FUE can be an issue and cause the patchy appearance.  It may also be due to shock hair loss.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  Your photos look like a typical surgery.  Perhaps it should have less scabbing at this point.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative issue as each doctor has their unique regimen.  Normal scalp hair density is about 200 hairs in a square centimeter so you can get a baseline of what to expect.

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.
