This is overharvested. Some areas had the grafts taken out too close.

This is the photos of a man who had too many FUE grafts removed from his donor area. This is called Over-harvesting and the only treatment for this is Scalp Micropigmentation (SMP)
I am 4 month post op after 2500 grafts and I have had it cut for the first time today grade 1 so it’s short and you can see the area where the surgeon has taken the grafts. I am fully aware how the transplant work and under no illusions the area won’t thicken out […]
This man went to Turkey for FUE grafts. There is considerable scarring present in the donor area. The surgeon (or non-surgeon who did this surgery), did not understand how to keep the donor density at a sufficient level to keep coverage of the donor area.
Over-harvested donor area in an area where too many grafts were done too close together resulting in a loss of blood supply to the scalp
We need to talk about good medical practices. Many surgeons believe that FUE works well provided that in a person with an medium hair thickness and an average donor density, has no more than 3500 FUE grafts removed to avoide a see-through donor area. 3500 grafts for such a person will cover Class 3, 3a, […]
Dr. Robert True wrote a very interesting article in the May/June issue of the Hair Transplant FORUM. He suggested that today’s surgeons should consider using the hair outside the SAFE DONOR ZONE. The rational is reasonable even though we expose our patients to some eventual loss of hair if their inherited hair loss pattern would […]
Over and over again, many doctors don’t know when to quit with excising grafts from the donor area as shown in this photo.
This man had too many grafts removed from his donor area leaving him with a see-through donor area that clearly stands out with this hair length. He will have to either grow his hair long, or fill it in with Scalp Micropigmentation. This could have been avoided with careful planning, understanding the original donor density […]
We continue to see over-harvested donor areas where those doing the hair transplants take out so much donor hair that they start making the donor area bald. In this man, clearly the hair transplants also failed as you can see from the top of his head. The donor hairs were also taken from his neck […]
This man either had (1) too many grafts taken from his donor area, (2) a lower than normal donor density unable support the FUE he received, (3) very fine hair that could not over his donor area after his FUE was Done of (4) the surgeon used a large punch. Patients believe that FUE is […]
Time will tell. Longer hair will help. Please resend photos back to me in a couple of months. I am concerned that the blood supply to the donor area may have altered the color of your hair as well reduced the amount of hair significantly.
Yes, the donor area may have been over-harvested. Another problem is the harvested area is higher than the permanent hair in the donor area. This suggests the possibility of a long term growth problem if your balding pattern advances further back. The number of FUE grafts that can be taken depends upon your donor density […]
Yes, there is far more patchiness than I would expect to see. This was caused either by donor over-harvesting or vascular complications of the donor area which may reverse within 6 months of the surgery, so by that time you will know more. I also noticed that the grafts were harvested very high and also […]
Another photo of a man who had FUE and as a result had an over-harvested donor area. The donor area that was harvested was larger than the permanent zone so some of the transplanted hairs will not be permanent and may fall out in time. This depleted donor area could be treated with scalp micropigmentation
