Am I suffering from shock loss or over harvesting? I’m 1 month post op. (Photos)

Asked By:paterson31 in Ireland, IE

I’ve healed very well in the 4 weeks since my HTP. I had my op done by a RealSelf “Top Doctor” whom has had rave reviews from most, if not all his previous work. I do have a slight problem. Its the fact that my left temple area is very thin in places. I can feel skin to the touch as opposed to hair like the right hand side. My HTP was relatively large with 3,300 grafts being taken from the donor area. Can you shed some light on what I’m experiencing? Thanks
