Is this pitting? One month after Fue. (photo)

Asked By:hggyhg in Jersey City, NJ

Hi, I had a 1500 Fue hair transplant done about a month ago. I followed the post op care instructions to a tee. But it looks like I have small holes or pitting where the grafts were inserted. Not really sure what this is or if it is normal. My doctor is half way around the world, I reached out to him already, but have yet to get a response. Please see attached pictures. Anything I can do? Really concerned.

Answer: Scarring or pitting can happen after surgery due to poor technique or inherent scarring of the patient.
