I have huge bald spots in my donor area 1 month after 3700 graft hair transplant? (Photo)

If you have issues after your hair transplant surgery you have patchy hair loss, it is best to follow up with your doctor.

Thank you for your question.  Without seeing you in person it is difficult to say with complete certainty why you have experienced loss in these localized areas of your donor site and what you can hope to expect to see moving forward.  With that said it is likely that this hair loss is temporary, a phenomenon called telogen effluvium.  It is not uncommon for patients following a hair transplant procedure to undergo a period of shock loss where the follicles actually loose the hairs within them.  If the patches that concern you are the result of telogen effluvium, you should expect to see hair regrowth over the next few months.  Please continue to follow up with your operating surgeon for evaluations and to monitor these areas for progress.  I hope that you find this helpful and I wish you a speedy recovery!

Hopefully these areas represent transient loss of hair which show grow back over time-Minoxidil could help with this.However,I am concerned that with 3700 grafts there is an element of overharvesting.It may take 3-6 months to see the area declare itself.

In my personal view and experience It is too, too early to certify a complication, it is only one month after the surgery, so the wound healing and hair regrowth have many  months to go. The best case scenario: It could be a shock loss & the worst scenario: scarring and permanent damage to the hair follicle. I will suggest you do not panic yet and to continue your contact with your hair surgeon.
Great question.
Good luck and keep us posted.

There are several possible causes for hair loss in the donor area after FUE1) anagen effluvium - temporary2) alopecia areata - variable recovery3) secondary scarring alopecia from over harvesting - permanent 4) effluvium from vascular damage due to over harvesting - variable recovery5) other You should definitely go back to see your hair loss doctor and if they are not a dermatologist, you should also see a dermatologist who specialises in hair loss.Depending on the working diagnosis following examination of your scalp with magnification, there are a number of possible treatment options. 

This looks like telogen effluvium ("shock loss"), a temporary loss of hair due to all the follicles in an area going into their dormant state.  Typically, the follicles remain healthy and will start to grow again in a few months. 

Thank you for your question and posting your pictures. You most likely have some shock loss from the trauma of the procedure. When you get high graft counts like you did, the risk of shock loss is greater. These areas should fill back in with time. It usually begins to fill in over a 3 to 4 month period but may take longer.I hope this was helpful - Dr. Moore.

You have had terrible complications that seems to have caused you to lose a lot of hair, maybe in time it will come back. Go back and speak with your doctor and do not accept a simple recommendation to take Rogaine. The donor area appears to have been damaged.
