1200 grafts used in FUE procedure and now have a white patch at the back of donor area. Why is this? (Photos)

Big boy 12Apr 8, 2018
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

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen.

It is normal to lose transplanted hairs days to weeks after surgery.  It may take 6 to 12 months to see new hairs grow out.
