6 wks post FUE hair transplant. Has my donor area been overharvested and were grafts taken from outside the "safe zone?" (photo)

May 19, 2017
Asked By:laff82 in England, United Kingdom

The procedure took place on the 11th April 17 and 2600 grafts transplanted. I'm worried that one area has been over harvested as the hair in the donor area seems considerably thinner in this area. I'm also concerned as some grafts have been harvested from very high up on my head, which to me seems unnecessary due to the number of grafts needed to begin with.

Is there a way to detect during first few months that FUE HT is successful?
William Rassman, MD (retired) says:

There is no way to predict your results.  If your doctor is good at what he did to you, you will get what you expected when the two of you met before the transplant was done. Now by the 8th month or sooner, you will see the results of your effort and the money you spent.
