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)

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
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 […]
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
I had 2300 FUE grafts and I am worried about my donor area. Is it over-harvested? Usually 2,300 grafts will not cause over-harvesting unless your original donor area density was very low and/or your hair is very fine. See the link below that defines the limits of FUE. https://baldingblog.com/2017/07/21/many-fue-grafts-many-fues-grafts-one-know-safe-limits/
More and more patients are experiencing over zealous surgeons who take out too many grafts from their donor area in doing FUE. I know that many patients want a lot a grafts so that they can get their hair back as quickly as possible, but pushing the envelope is a real problem as many men, […]
This could be for many reasons, poor surgical judgement, low donor density, too many grafts for his donor supply. He will have to live with this unless he gets Scalpmicropigmentation (https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/)
This was clearly done by someone who didn’t know what they were doing. I feel sorry for the patient who is a victim of the person who did this, probably a non-physician
I am now 5 months since my surgery and I think that the surgeon went high on my donor area and may have over-harvested in this area as I can not see-through my scalp when I cut my hair short. Your donor area may very well be over-harvested and the area on the left side […]
