Will the shadowing in my transplanted area go away? (Photo)

February 12, 2018
Asked By:meapbarc in San Francisco, CA

I had FUE 3 weeks ago. I had 3500 grafts in frontal are. It’s been 3 weeks and I still have the shaded dark area in recipient area of scalp. Is this going to go away over next few weeks? It seems to have been improved from a week ago. Bug I’m worried if this is permanent.
