8 months post FUT. Do I need a revision? Will there be realistic improvement if I wait another 10 months? (Photo)

Question

I'm very disappointed with my 8 month results post FUT. my doctor says he won't consider a revision until I'm at 18 months. Will there be a realistic improvement by waiting another 10? I may need to seek another physician to get a revision sooner, what are your thoughts please?

One of the most difficult parts of hair restoration procedures is waiting for a satisfactory growth to finally occur. The comparison of "watching grass grow" is similar. My patients are no different & the result at 8 months is disappointing to most patients. I use a magnification scope to reassure my patients. With a 50 power lens, I can show my patients what is similar to a garden just starting to grow with the little seedings barely at the surface. It's similar with a great number of the hair follicles. I ask my patients not to worry & realize that it takes more time to improve. Typically, the vast number of patients are feeling much happier at 12 months. Your pictures are about where most patients are at 8 months growth.
