14 days post FUE hair transplant. Is my donor area "overharvested"? (photos)

November 27, 2016
Asked By:Voldo in Turkey, TR

I have underwent a 4500 graft FUE hair transplant 14 days ago. My donor area is still red but I am quite concerned now that my donor area has been overharvested which may lead to a permanent hair thinning. What makes things worse is the redness and you can see that the boundaries of the donor area are sharply demarcated. Is it possible that the hair in this area will grew thicker and, after the redness is improved, the donor area will completely blend within the surrounding regions?

Answer: It is possible that your donor area was over harvested. 4500 graft FUE is a very significant (high) number.
