8 Days after FUE transplant, gaps appearing between the new grafts. Is this the shedding stage or something is wrong? (photos)

campbell02May 15, 2018
Hi...I have attached a (day 2) photo and a (day 8) photo. As seen on (day 8) photo, I noticed gaps or separations appearing between the new grafts. Is that the shedding stage or something is wrong? Is shedding supposed to look like this? After 8 days, most of the scabs are still intact. I have followed my doctor's instructions properly. Just got worried when I noticed it this morning. Please let me know, I appreciate any help or advise. Thanks

FUE is just a harvesting method.  It does not relate to results.  If you want to keep your hair very short you may want the FUE.   FUE also requires shaving your head.  FUT does not require a shave.
