What would you estimate the grafts per cm2 to be given photos provided and is this optimal for fine hair? (photos)

Question

Hi, I recently had FUE with 1576 grafts placed roughly in an area of 30cm2 (with about 100 behind hairline). Being overseas I am a little worried as I have quite fine hair and am wondering if my new hairline will be too spaced apart as it seems to be less than what the calculations would indicate at 50 grafts per cm2. It would be great to have another Drs advice on their estimate per cm2 given photos provided. Do you think this will be sufficient for a hairline to look natural? Thanks!

You cannot tell how many graft were implanted based on photos alone.  If you are concerned, ask your doctor.

30 grafts per cm square is a quite good density .. But no one can tell you that how many grafts have been implanted to your scalp with just looking at photos..First regrowth should be observed on 3-3.5 months. Regrowing hair is thin, undersized and not bright untill 4-5 th months of hair transplant. İt's normal for new growing hair starting to get native characteristics, waviness, curl in first 6-7 months..This actually takes 10-13 months for hair to become full mature , as thick and bright as native hair.

It is impossible to estimate the density of the grafts after a surgery because shedding occurs.
