Hello it's been 3 week post surgery hair transplant I had done in turkey. I'm concerned about my donor area from where the grafts were took it's a bit red and dry and a bit sore it's not itching at all! been in contact with the surgeon about this concern and I think as a precaution he advised me antibiotics called flucloxacillin and a steroid cream called fusidic acid I've been on theese 5 days now and coming to the end of them below are a photo before I started meds and current. Is this normal?

Answer: It may be too early to judge what your final results may look like. 2500+ FUE can certainly cause donor depletion
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.
