4500 grafts 3 months later: should I apply Minoxidil on the donor area only? (Photos)

Question

It’s been 3 months post op and I see growth coming as I’m using a natural hairs thinning serum, but I also see my native hairs shedding every time I wash my head I asked the clinic and they said it’s normal and new hairs will cover that being said I asked about m donor area if it’ll look any better than right now because it looks like a dinosaur took a bite off the right side of my head? They told me to apply Minoxidil on the donor area only

Hi. I understand your concern over not seeing your expected results at this point of your recovery. You’re experiencing the same thing many feel after their procedures. I advise you to be patient, as difficult as that is right now. I would give it a few more months and I think you’ll be much happier with your progress.

After receiving 4500 grafts 3 months ago, I think where you are is right on target. Give it another few months and you will see more and more growth peaking a 8 months
