Donor area over harvested? (Photo)

July 7, 2018
Asked By:Jariruuu in Morocco

20 days ago I had a FUE HAIR TRANSPLANT, in which 3600 grafts were harvested from my Donor Area to cover up my thinning hair but I am a bit concerned whether my donor area was over harvested or should I just give it a bit more time to heal and then to regrow normally. The problem is my right side (above my right ear) looks thicker compared to my left side? Is this uneven hair growth normal? Please advice!

Answer: Over harvesting from FUE can be an issue and cause the patchy appearance. It may also be due to shock hair loss.
