FUE Hair Transplant

Hair post 2000 FUE No shave laorwong 6 months. 1st photo is a week ago. Photo 2-6 is before the surgery Photo 7-8 are post surgery And photos 8-20 are all in the last 2 weeks, some wet, some dry, some styled, with the last 2 being from an event i was at last week 42/m been on 1mg fin for years, topical minox off and on but post surgery added 2.5mg oral minoxidil daily and have gotten 3 Prp shots over the 6 months. My overall feeling is of somewhat disappointment, with the caveat that i likely had unrealistic expectations, may have hair dysmorphia and also it’s partially my fault. After his initial drawing i got a little paranoid it would be too low and asked for it to be maybe half a centimeter higher, i feel like it ended up being a full centimeter higher or more and now i feel like i spent thousands of dollars to still have a receding hairline. I don’t know what was going through my head. I think i thought it would use less graphs, cause he originally told me 1600-2000, but the graph count didn’t change. Also maybe i was wrinkling my forehead and didn’t realize it 😂 I did feel rushed during the design phase, and also wish he had included my temples, but at the end of day I’m the moron. And i know everyone says it’s not 12 months yet, but my growth has also tapered off, especially density wise. I feel like I had great growth in the first 4, 4.5 months and it really hasn’t grown since then, in basically the last 1.5 months. The hair feels very wispy, you can see it in some of the photos, and for 2k in such a small area it should be far denser. Additionally, it’s just weird and hard to style. It mostly grows straight up, in a way that isn’t normal. Like, it won’t go down and i can’t wear it down. Just straight up. And in maybe 15% of it, along the right edge, it’s growing in sideways, at like a 60 degree angle. It makes it very hard to style. For example, i can’t comb or wear my hair down, if i wanted to cover up the forehead or do a fringe. The hairline also just looks weird, too straight, and even though I asked for micro irregularities there doesn’t seem like any put in. Luckily i have a few forgotten soldiers that survived and give it maybe a little bit more normal appearance. I don’t think it’s the kind of thing the average person would mostly notice but it definitely looks off to me. Weirdly, i think it looks best when it’s wet as the new hair blends with my old hair. The back looks fine unless I cut it short, in which case it has a bit of the moth eaten look, which means i can’t really get fades which is also another issue. Granted, i haven’t done that since about the 4 month mark cause I’m too scared now of what it’ll look like, so it could have improved. While this isn’t a horror story or anything, and it could still turn out solid, i really wanted to be able to stop hyperfocusng and thinking about my hair all the time. And maybe i have hair dysmorphia or something, but that hasn’t been the case. I also really wanted to be able to slick my hair back and can’t really do that. So all in all, somewhat disappointed. I’m starting to look for a touch up surgeon who could do some temple work and maybe give me a half or full centimeter lower hairline, if anyone has any recs. Would love to get something done this winter and finally have something I’m happy with but seems unrealistic. Happy to answer any questions
