1 month PO. Has my donor area been over harvested after FUE? Is scalp micro-pigmentation the only way to correct it? (photos)

emarte13Apr 23, 2019
I had an FUE Hair Transplant 40 days ago and this is how the donor area currently looks. I had 2000 grafts transplanted. Will SMP be my only option to correct this? And is it normal for the back of my head to be red for this long? Thank you in advance

Personalized medical treatment advice on the Internet without a good history and examination is inaccurate and may lead to confusion and misinformation. Speak to your surgeon or local physician about receiving proper medical treatment(s).

It is best to contact your surgeon for post surgery issues and care since all doctors have slightly different instructions.

Minimal sun exposure most likely did not damage your grafts. If you are concerned, follow up with your doctor for an exam.

It may take 8-12 months before seeing the final results of your hair transplant surgery. If you are concerned with the density and shape, schedule an appointment with your surgeon for an exam.

Shedding is the loss of the transplanted hairs. Shock loss on the other hand is hair loss surrounding the transplanted area. Generally, the hair lost during shock loss will return.
