Asked By:littup in Ghent 9000

7 weeks ago I had a 3000 FUE hair transplant (2500 in front and hairline, 500 in crown) in Istanbul. Now around 7 weeks I am worrying that the skin looks very shiny under light and I am scared that this will be permanent scar tissue? The recipient area also feels a bit raised at the hairline... I am affraid it is cobblestoning or ridging or both... On the left side I can clearly feel a ridge with my fingers on the new hairline. You can see this in the last picture (I added a caption to it).
