Is my donor area overharvested? Is there hope? (Photos)

Jetset88
Hello doctors, about 11 days ago I received a hair transplant in Istanbul. About 5,100 grafts were extracted and placed into my beard. I hadn't been able to look at my donor area until now and it look incredibly depleted. Is this a case of overharvesting? The doctor said it should look much better in 3 months. Confused and embrassed.
