What's causing uneven hair growth after hair transplant? (photos)

I had FUE hair transplant surgery 5 months ago. Hair growth started by the end of the third month. However there is obvious difference between right side and left side in growth. The implant was done by 2 persons and I feel that the difference may be because bad technique of one of them as the difference is sharp. What I should do now? The doctor says that this difference is blood supply related.

It is difficult to determine if more growth is coming without doing a detailed exam of your scalp. Hair transplants generally take 12-15 months for final results. I recommend talking with the surgeon who performed your transplant and discuss your concerns. If we can be of any help, let us know.
