6 months poor result

Hi. I had approx 2500 FUE 6 months ago by an IAHRS surgeon to restore my frontal area and I’m getting concerned about the lack of progress so far. I understand the growth process isn’t complete yet but it just seems very thin and its impossible to go anywhere without being stared at during daylight hours.

I’m using a number 3 guard to trim it just now, perhaps I should let it grow longer, but the longer it grows the worse it seems to look. A zero guard looks ok but that wasnt really the point in getting FUE.

Any late growers with similar experience or should I just write this off and shave.

The picture is how things look as of today, without a flash.

Thanks

Give it at least 8-9 months. Right now, i cant tell which pic is the hair transplant and which is preop. I can make out the recipient zone. More pics may help. Hope it works out for you, best of luck.
