Is it time to accept my second hair transplant failed 6.5 months post-op? (Photos)

Cute908099Jan 15, 2023
I’m 6.5 months from my second transplant. My first hair transplant failed(1100 fue grafts). My second transplant (1552 fue grafts) isn’t looking promising. It’s way too thin. I know I’m told I should give it 12 months, but I had these same concerns about the first transplant at 6 months and proved to be right unfortunately. I’m in desperate need of guidance. I’m 29 and don’t know what I should? Should I plan for yet another procedure? I’m very upset and spent over $22k on my hair so far.
