Options to fix depleted donor area? (Photo)

January 7, 2020
Asked By:UmbertoGreen in Sweden, SE

So, I did my second FUE hair transplant, lowering my hairline, almost 3 weeks ago with a total number of 2700 grafts removed now. For some reason the doctor extracted grafts from the same area (only in the back) both times, despite my relatively thick hair, which have now led to a depleted look. So now I'm wondering if this can be fixed only with SMP, or if it's possible to move hair from the sides, or even the top since it doesn't suffer from hair loss, to the back and retransplant the donor area?
