Asked By:MK2002 in Australia, AU

After my 3rd Hair Transplant but my 1st FUT procedure I have been left with bald spots below the strip on both sides of my head. One of them is almost the size of my thumb. What can I do about this? Do I have to have another procedure just to fill them in or is there a trick to get the hair to grow back?
