Answer: Overharvested FUE The number of grafts which can be taken out in one sitting depends on the follicular density; the size of the donor area, the total number of grafts available for extraction; and the hair caliber. The number mentioned by you seems to be quite high for one sitting and can lead to a moth eaten appearance. But, the final outcome will depend on the above factors plus how the surgeon has extracted the grafts. If he has removed quite a lot of them together in continuity without any gaps between them, and the skin has a tendency for a bad scar; and if the caliber of the remaining hair decreases ( because of microvascular trauma to the remaining hair) then it may lead to a patchy appearance as well. That is why the author always recommends to do the surgery in sessions as opposed to this large number. But since now this is done, it will be better to wait for 6-8 months before commenting how the donor area appearance will shape up.

Answer: Donor Area You will probably see some regrowth in the area over the next several months. Whether or not that will be enough to cover the area and make it not look thin can't really be determined, you just need to be patient. You can always talk to your doctor about your concerns as well. 3800 is a big amount but an average donor area would be able to look fine after that.
