Is there any reason I have to wait longer than a few weeks to touch up a small area on my right temple that was missed while doing fue to my temples. They are not symmetrical. It will drive me crazy if I have to wait a year. Could it damage the grafts if touched up 3-4 weeks after initial procedure?

Answer: Touch up after FUE There is a risk, most certainly. That does not mean it can't be done, but it is not as simple as first glance. There of damaging the existing hairs that were there initially. They have had some trauma with the surgery and this is more trauma/injury. There is a risk of damaging the new grafts. They have been working hard to survive and the effect of further injury right now is somewhat unknownTheir is a risk of poor growth as grafts are going into skin that is now in healing phase (there is inflammation there)There is a risk of asymmetry if things are a tiny bit swollen, it may be hard to know precisely where to place the graftsEverything has risk. The decision on whether to proceed or wait comes down to understanding the risks and benefits

Answer: Touch up after transplant You can do a touch up FUE after a week. You do not need to wait weeks if its just a few grafts that need to be implanted.
