It will be 3 months soon since my fue and my recipient area is still a little red. It's not bright but it's definitely visible. Especially since I shave my head pretty close. So my question here is ; Are there creams that could help make the redness disappear for good? (I had a bad reaction for a couple months on my donor area with about 20 little pimples but it's now gone...)

Answer: If you are having issues after surgery, especially with "redness" you should contact your doctor.
There are always small nerves cut during the making of the recipient sites which cover a wide area of the frontal hairline. These nerves usually stop bothering most people in 1-8 months
Your donor area may very well be over-harvested and the area on the left side looks higher than the permanent zone. Speak with your surgeon about your concerns.
There is no way to predict your results. If your doctor is good at what he did to you, you will get what you expected when the two of you met before the transplant was done. Now by the 8th month or sooner, you will see the results of your effort and the money you spent.
