I massaged my recipient area 9 days after my hair transplant when washing, will my grafts be okay?

Your donor area will always look "thinner" proportionate to the number of hairs taken out after a FUE harvesting surgery.  The hairs will NOT grow back from the donor area (where it was taken). You can have your surgeon exam the area to see if it is depleted.

You can have hairs transplanted to your sideburns.Photos cannot determine if you would be a good candidate for surgery.  You need an examination and the doctor needs to understand your goals and expectations. You need to have good communication with your doctor to understand what your end ...

If you have low density (many Asians) with a high contrast (black hair on fair skin) and short hair style a 2000 FUE grafts may look depleted. 

Specific medical treatment issues should be discussed with your doctor especially if you are not sure how to use the medication.  

Scalp MicroPigmentation is a medical grade tattoo that can conceal your overharvested donor area. The procedure is done over 3 sessions.

If you are considering surgery it would be best to discuss your options with a doctor. The doctor needs to examine you to give you a better assessment.
