It is normal to shed transplanted hairs weeks after surgery.  The new hairs may take 6 to 12 months to grow.  If you see spaces, there may have been no hairs placed there or the hairs may have fallen out.

You are having donor shock secondary to a tight closure after FUT. Hopefully most of it will regrow over the next few months. If not, your options include SMP, FUE, or scars removal with a balloon expander, Dr. Robert Jones
