Hey was wondering if someone can help me out I had a fue transplant 5 months ago all the transplanted area is growing well but my donor area is causing me worry I've attached pictures
Answer: Donor area at 5 months By 5 months post procedure your donor area should look back to normal.It appears as if there has been overharvesting,although something like Alopecia Areata is a remote possibility.I would recommend following up with your surgeon.

Answer: Donor area after 5 months - worried. This is not the appearance that should be expected five months after FUE harvest- you need to have your surgeon evaluate the area.

Answer: Over-harvesting of grafts You have classic donor site depletion resulting from over-harvesting the grafts for your donor density. The surgeon who did not did not know what he/she was doing and clearly pushed your donor area well beyond what the blood supply could support and probably what your original density was. Make sure that you do not have alopecia areata which could look like this
