All are the hair grafts transplanted during FUE visible to the eye? (Photo)

I just got a hair transplant last week, it's been precisely 7 days. I have noticed that some of the grafts look a little somewhat oddly spaced. Upon taking a closer look, it appears that there are grafts embedded in the skin as well. I am asking, because shedding usually occurs later.

Thank you for your question. To obtain alive hair follicles implanted in higher rates, the latest technique being used is not the only manner, it is also affected by compliance of implantation area that we found a better way to improve as a result of our researches, The Organic Hair Transplantation. By this new and unique Organic Hair Transplantation Technique, before the extraction and implantation processes; we regenerate the implantation area with injection of stem cell enriched fat tissue. Regeneration of cells in target area before FUE transplantation with the support of stromal stem cells results in higher rate of alive thicker hair follicles.

The recipient area changes over time, and some of the grafts may not be visible during the healing process especially after the first week when shedding often starts.

As I see on photo, only problem is density .. Number of grfats are not enough to get a result resembling preexisting hair. Graft's implantation level is important but it is very difficult to say something about it with that photo.
