FUE hair transplant 2600 grafts in Turkey, concerned about donor area a bit pink and dry (Photo)

conorharris123Jun 1, 2018
Been 3 weeks post surgery donor area is still a bit pink and dry... it's not itchy or sore 2 weeks was when I first noticed this spoke to the surgeon who performed my procedure and he advised I think as a precaution to prevent an infection to get antiobiotics called flucloxacillin and a steroid cream called fusidic acid been on this a week now and coming to an end I've attached 3 photos 2 of from when I first noticed it at 2 weeks and the 3rd was taken this morning... does everything look normal?

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.
