Does my donor area look over harvested? (photos)

February 27, 2018
Asked By:daniel87 in London, GB

I had 4000 grafts in turkey over 4 and half months ago does my one side of my doner area doesn’t lol bad but the other side looks over harvested. At first I thought it maybe been shock loss as it looks patchy and over the last 2 months I have started to use regaine at the back to see if would help bring the old hair back But I might just go get micro scalp pigmentation now.

Answer: FUE is not a scarless surgery and if you keep your hair very short you will definitely see the FUE harvest effects.​

I want to do hair transplant to change my hair silky and straight. Is this possible?
Jae Pak, MD says:

Hair transplant surgery takes your own hair and relocates it to another location on your body.  It does not make your hair straight if the donor hair is curly.
