How long can I wait for a second FUE procedure?

newhairnewhair
I recently had 1,500 FUE grafts completed 4 days ago. I got ill during the procedure and delayed the last 500 to be grafted. My Dr. recommended finishing the last 500 and said he has an availability in 20 days. Is it too soon to do a second procedure? Can doing a second FUE so soon do damage to native or recently transplanted hairs?
