Answer: It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative issue and care as each doctor has their unique regimen.
It may be too early to judge what your final results may look like. 2500+ FUE can certainly cause donor depletion if you had a low donor hair density to begin with.
It is best to ask your surgeon about post operative issues (even if your doctor is in Instanbul).The photos look like you have patchy hair loss or over harvesting. You won't be able to determine how well it may look or how well your donor area will heal for another 6 to 12 months.
It is important to understand that hair transplant surgery does not replace all the lost hairs. You need to have clear goals that are realistic. You may want to discuss your concerns with your doctor.
