Is my donor area over-harvested? Can this be fixed by placing grafts into the bald patches? (photos)

yalago92
I have undergone an FUE procedure of 3500 grafts. Its been 10 days now and my has began to grow a little. Im am noticing a rectangle shape in my donor area that has very thin hair. I am extremely worried that this will be permennant. My surgeon informed me that it would even out in about 4 months but Im not convinced. My question is this normal? If not is there a way that i could have a procedure to transplant hairs into the bald patches? (I don't want to do micropigmentation)
