I had my hair transplant done on the 20th of July (so 3.5 weeks/25 days ago). I feel as the surgeons/technicians over harvested the donor area. There are a lot of patches and some feel as if there are no hairs growing. I spoke to the doctor and they informed me that it is shock loss? But to me it looks like they did a bad job. He informed me that it could take up to 2-3 months for the donor area to look normal. Can anyone advise?
