I got my fue surgery done on June 19 2015 by dr Yates in Chicago. I'm really worried about my donor area. If I keep the back of my hair long, the donor area gets covered up and you can't tell there is a bald patch from the hair being extracted. Should I expect any more growth in the donor area. I have a gut feeling the doctors extracted too much hair from a small area, causing a bald patch on the back of my head.
