Hello guys, pics attached, this is my second tranplant , the first one was thinning quite a bit due to antidepressentas i was taking and my refusal to use finastride.
the plan was to concentrate as much as possible on the hairline, and try to provide some additonal coverage to the crownn and along the sides which were also thinning

I would immensly appreciate your feedback on wether or not the tranplant was botched or not, and wether it is even close to 3k or not

First thing, this is day 0 to 1, so try to breathe before deciding you were screwed, because there's almost nothing here you can actually judge yet. What you're seeing is freshly placed grafts with the crusting around each one, which always looks like this before anything grows. Density now tells you very little.

And nobody can confirm 3000 from a photo, including the clinic that did it. What you can read is the spread, and the grafts look reasonably distributed across the hairline and front with the crown lighter, which matches the plan you described. 3000 over hairline plus crown plus sides will always look thinner than 3000 in a hairline alone, just because it's covering more ground, so "it doesn't look like much" can simply be the area it's covering.

So don't try to read the result now, document it instead. Clear lit photo today as a baseline, same shot monthly. Growth starts month 4 to 6, the real verdict is month 12. If there are big patches with little growth and density well below what 3000 should give over this area by then, that's when poor yield is a fair call. Today it's too early, and the layout doesn't look botched from here.

Did the creator intend to create a bald man when he gave him testosterone?
