Asked By:jamesteo in China, CN

Hi I would like to know is my donor area after 2.5 months post fut strip op is normal. As you can see from the picture, the donor area surrounding the scar have no follicles or root hair. Is it normal or will the hair surrounding the scar grow back? My doctor had done a Trichophytic closure on that area but I saw online pictures immediately after strip surgery the donor area is not as wide compare to mine. Even if I keep my back hair long but sometimes still unable to cover all the area.
