One month post op after 500 graft FUE with 0.85mm punch, I have gaps in my hair where the follicles were removed. I don't think there is any hypopigmentation, fortunately, but the fact is my doctor told me there would no visible signs of FUE treatment when I shave my hair down. Its only been one month. Will things improve over the next year (i.e. will those gaps contract, or dormant hairs grow into those spaces)? I don't want SMP, but I need a solution. Would body hair transplant work?
