I feel my FUE donor area has been over harvested, what can I do to repair it? (Photos)

September 30, 2017
Asked By:Rambu88 in London, GB

It's been 4 months since I had my fue surgery and this is the first time since that I have had it shaved short. It's not as bad as others that I have seen but as you can see from the pictures there is a noticeable patch throughout. Since it's only been 4 months is it likely to get better over time? Or will I need another surgery to correct it?

Answer: If your donor area has been over harvested, there isn't much you can do after the fact. There is no surgery to correct this.
