Does my donor area look over harvested? (photos)

4000 grafts of FUE harvesting may cause donor hair depletion if you had a low density of hair to begin with.  FUE is not a scarless surgery and if you keep your hair very short you will definitely see the FUE harvest effects.

Sometimes  there may be such a early phase alopecic, bald spots  in donor areas after FUE surgery,  but fortunatelly most are transient. İt may happen because of over harvesting or transient post traumatic shedding /shock loss. Any way it heals and hair regrow in 4-5 months of hair restoration surgery .

Yes, your donor area appears over harvested and you may have to wear your hair longer to cover the defect. In addition, it appears the safe areas have been intruded upon. I have never seen a patient that can have 4,000 grafts removed safely by FUE.

To support a 4000 graft FUE, your donor density should have been 10% higher than a typical Caucasian's donor density. From the photos, it does look like your donor area was over-harvested. See below for more details on this comment
