After FUE (10 days later), i see an blind pimple on my transplant area and there is no hair seen which i suspect there is ingrown hair in it. Will the hair root implanted to this spot become "dead" and resulted in no hair grown in the coming months?

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative issues as each doctor has their unique technique.  In general, front hair line is created with single hair grafts.

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.  There isn't much you can do at this point.  The best thing is to go back and see your doctor for a proper examination.

Shock hair loss after a hair transplant is always a risk so you need to see a doctor for an exam to understand it better for your particular case.  Photos cannot predict shock hair loss. Choi implanters do not prevent or alleviate shock loss risk.

It can take 6 to 12 months after surgery to see results.  If you are concerned it is best to contact your doctor.
