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).

Answer: Follow up with your surgeon for an assessment.
Personalized medical treatment advice on the Internet without a good history and examination is inaccurate and may lead to confusion and misinformation. Follow up with your surgeon for an examination.
It is best to see a doctor in person for an examination so you can better understand treatment options after your doctor has a chance to listen to your exact goals.
