Hello, I'm 43 years old and recieved 1500 Artas Fue transplants. 2 weeks post op. Im alittle concerned about the density in the temple areas. Up to this point i have noticed some hair sheding but no blood or graphs, i hope lol. I'd say i was between a Norwood 2 and 3. Just looking for some expert opinions in the area of density. Am i too worried or does it look like it will fill in nicely. Thank you
