Asked By:Big boy 12 in Cremorne, 02

Hi everyone I had a hair transplant of 1200 grafts using the FUE technique with a 0.85mm puncture . It has been exactly 14 days since the procedure and I have a white patch in the donor area see photo attached . Would this be from over harvesting , shock loss or just a lack of blood flow to the area it is still bruised

Answer: Over harversting from FUE can be an issue and cause the patchy appearance. It may also be due to shock hair loss.
