I Am a 27 Year Old African American Who Had 2000 FUE Grafts Done 1 Year Ago
I can now see through to the scalp in the back of my head, which looks like it is balding now. Will the hair grow back in the donor area?
After an FUE, the hair that was removed is gone forever and will never regrow. In African hair, the donor supply is numerically lower than both Asians and Caucasians by as much as 10% to 40% respectively. As a result, the limits for FUE are much more restricted in people of African decent. If you are a typical African American, then the limit for FUE should have been 1,400 grafts (see this link which explains this: https://newhair.com/donor-area/). You have what we call donor site depletion. Since you now have donor area depletion, the only thing that you can do, which works very effectively, is Scalp MicroPigmentation (see here: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/).
