Donor area ruined? (photos)

jeanguy
Hello, this is a picture 30 days post FUE, 2500 grafts. The whole backside of the head was shaved but the square from which the grafts were taken is visibly thinner than surrounding hair. It looks as though the technicians took everything they could in a box pattern. My procedure was done in an Turkish budget clinic and I'm very worried that they've harmed the follicles at the back of my head. Will this heal or improve? Thank you
