5 months post hair transplant (1600 grafts, hairline and crown) how are my results? (Photos)

Question

Can you please doctors share your opinions on the results I'm getting so far? I have scheduled an appointment with my surgeon next week because it looks like I might have folliculitis. When I take a picture using the camera light, it looks hairy (though thin and light). But at daylight, my crown looks bald. Please let me know your thoughts.

The regrowth process takes a significant
time, regardless of how immediate and initial the results are, they do not necessarily
indicate how successful the surgery was. To each person, hair regrowth happens
at a different rate. During the regrowth process, the hair should
naturally balance itself out. After 6 months about half of the transplanted hairs will start to grow, and the results will start to be noticeable. The hairs will
initially emerge as thinner strands similar to baby hairs, however the hair
will thicken up. By the time you are 9 months post procedure,
the results will be even more noticeable with a closer visual of what the final
result will look like.

5 months after hair transplant I would not expect to see enough of a result. You can expect 80% of the hair growth to styling length by the 8th month, so be patient
