27 days later, bald spots in donor areas, hair seems to be growing in transplanted area, do you have any advice? (photos)

Asked By:Jambhavan

It is 27 days since FUE with 3300 grafts transplanted to the front and top. I have noticeable bald spots on the sides which look really shabby. My clinic is telling me that it is normal. I want to ask the experts in this forum anyway. 1. The transplanted hair appears to be growing. Is this normal? If it is, is there a chance that they will not fall out at all? Or will they surely fall soon? 2. I believe the donor area has been overharvested. Do you agree? Thank you.
