Neograft starting to feel like it's not worth it anymore. Donor area is not even with the rest of the hair.

NeoQ777
Hello, I am 35yrs old and my hair style is a #1-1.5 buzz cut. I had a receding hair line, so I had neograft done about 6 weeks ago (by a known good doctor in the area). As I am able to cut my hair again, I have noticed the donor site IS NOT EVEN with the rest of the hair anymore! It looks like it's a shorter buzz cut fade in that area. Will this area thicken back out over time or will I pretty much never be able to buzz my hair anymore?? Have I sacrificed the back of my head to fill the front?!
