I recently had 500 FUE grafts extracted. How does the donor area improve over time?

I see gaps in my donor area right now where grafts were extracted, and quick frankly, I'm freaking out. My doctor is reassuring me that over time (I'm only two months out), the hair in the donor will fill in and no one can be able to tell even if I razor shave it down (I wear a high fade and shave to the skin on back and sides). He guarantees it because how small the procedure was. I thought hair doesn't regrow in the donor. Hows this possible? Hoping so
