Too few grafts? 1,100 grafts front hair line. Before & after

[Sydney23]

Hi, this is my first post and am freaking out a little. Maybe buyers remorse or maybe just feeling I have had too few implants to get desired results and am worried it's going to look terrible when it grows out.

So I had a FUE procedure about 3 weeks ago to strengthen my hairline. I've been on Fin & Minox for about a year and a half now and had good results in thickening what I had but wanted my front filled in.

I had 1100 grafts in the front but now feel I was short at least 500 extra grafts and am worried my hairline is going to look weak and obvious I've had a procedure.

Would like to get some experienced views on it to put my mind at rest. I am already thinking I'm going to have to go back to get more once this has grown out as it's going to look wirey at best.

Who was your doctor? Personally, it looks like the orientation of the hairs was done very well. I think your hair line will look diffuse thin as the grafts seem spaced a bit too far apart.

Thanks James. I have no issue with the work done, in fact I actually think it was well handled. My issue is with the fact there were too few grafts placed and as you say will look thin when grown out.

By the sounds of it you think the same

I'm no professional but I've seen a ton of hairlines and I agree with jamesst11 that the direction of the implants looks spot on so it seems like the work that was done was done well. To me the grafts seem like they're spaced too far apart. Another 600-900 grafts would give you a dense hairline but at this point you gotta wait and see what happens in the next 10-12 months. Nothing to freak out about. Worst case scenario you can get more grafts.

If I had this done and was unhappy with the spacing then personally, I would wait 6 months, go back to the doctor and ask them why the f*ck they did this and tell that you want an additional session free of charge to thicken the hair line.

If the results come out poorly, I personally believe it should be done at no charge for a few reasons. First off, I really can't see how that's 1100 grafts, unless a few of them have fallen off. Secondly, did they not go over your expectations with you? Did they tell you the amount of hair per area? Did they even tell you that, given the area you are trying to fill and based on the number of grafts, that the final result will look diffuse thin? Who would want to go into an HT knowing the end result would be a really diffused HAIR LINE? I SERIOUSLY DOUBT your initial expectations would be grafts spaced far apart, and they should have definitely told you about this. Once again, I am NOT a professional and should probably shut up. Wait 6-8 months. If it is really diffused thin, AND they did NOT properly explain this to you, they should fix it free.
