Hi everyone,My first HT was a success operation in July 2015 with a DR in America, an FUT of around 2200 grafts. My second HT took place in March 2018 with a DR in Europe, an FUE of 2583 grafts, designed to address my receding hairline with some hairs placed in the original FUT scar so I could shave my hair short. I had planned this to be my last HT operation.Now at the 6 month mark I had a follow up with another Dr in Australia who confirmed my 2nd HT results:1) My hairline was neglected2) some noticeable white pigment scarring from the FUE thus the appearance of balding in the donor area3) some areas of over-harvesting in the donor area4) The 2nd HT failed to notice the shock loss/balding that occurred from the 1st FUT scar [situated behind the ears] and thus no hairs were placed there to cover it up.So I'm just wondering what can I do now? I already assume i will have to get another HT to fix the hairline. What options do I have to fix the donor area? Was the extent of the white pigment scarring predictable once the FUT scar was revealed? Thank you in advance for any responses!

It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative care as each doctor has their unique regimen. Ingrown hairs and pimples can be an issue after FUE especially when some hairs are buried.Please contact your doctor.
If you are concerned please follow up with your doctor for an exam. This may or may NOT be normal. You may have had graft loss after surgery. In addition, not all the grafts may have take (failed grafts).
