Is there a permanent solution to fix a badly harvested donor area? I started trimming my hair then I stopped. (Photos)

Scalp MicroPigmentation is a PERMANENT option to disguise a bad (scarred up) donor area from prior hair transplant surgery.  It isn't clear why you may think SMP is not permanent.   SMP may fade over time (just like a tattoo may fade).There isn't much you can do other than keep you hair long.

Thank you for your photos. It is quite possible that the areas will appear better over the course of several months without any intervention. This is due to the fact that each pinpoint scar will tighten and contract in help bring your existing hair back closer together again. If this doesn't improve in several months, other options include purposely taking additional units out higher on your hairline to blend and feather out the fade, and you can use the grafts to place elsewhere at that time. You can also consider microtattooing for permanent camouflage. Hope this helps!Johnson C. Lee, MD Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon@drjohnsonlee

FUE thins out the donor area by its very nature. To avoid this, the grafts should have been taken higher and distributed more evenly. Your grafts appear to have been taken from the neck hair which is a problem because neck hair is not permanent. You can have this treated with scalp micropigmentation very nicely and it can make the donor area look normal.
