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

Question

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.

If you keep your hair very short you will notice the FUE scars and the absence of hair.  That was the general point of the FUE.  If you had a low hair density to start with, this would be more noticeable.

Your donor area may very well be over-harvested and the area on the left side looks higher than the permanent zone.  Speak with your surgeon about your concerns.
