Do I have permanent pitting from a hair transplant? (photos)

Asked By:bob5539 in Nyack, NY

I had a hair transplant 5 weeks ago and see what looks like pitting - pic attached. The clinic said it should smooth out in a month or so and that they are just marks from the blades that are healing very slow. Any feedback on whether these marks that look like big pores could still smooth out or whether it is a sign of permanent pitting?
