What can I do about an over harvested donor area 10 months post op? (photos)

One of the most difficult complications to treat in FUE hair transplants is the over harvesting of the donor area. There are a few common causes for this appearance of thin areas, so an evaluation needs to be done. Contact the doctor who performed your transplant to discuss solutions. Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP) can decrease the appearance of the thin areas. If we can be of help, contact us.

You can consider scalp micropigmentation to the donor area to add the appearance of darkness and minimize contrast. You should also continue taking effective hair loss medications so that you do not continue to lose more hair.

Dear Vivid895042,

Thanks for your question, The current situation suggests potential benefits from exploring various options such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) sessions, Mesotherapy, or incorporating hair supplements. These interventions could play a pivotal role in addressing and improving the current state of the hair density, offering a comprehensive approach to hair health and potential regrowth.

Regards,

You can do scalp-micropigmentation or SMP to camouflage the FUE scar on the donor area. Please note that SMP might require many session to complete the right color and density to cover the empty areas

Hello, and thank you for your question. It's difficult to deal with an over-harvested donor area. I suggest seeing the doctor who performed your procedure to suggest what course of action you can take. Best of luck to you.
