Both of these young men had too many FUE grafts taken from their donor area and now, even with long hair, have what appears to be balding in the back of the head. Longer hair will help, but Scalp Micropigmentation (https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/) usually solves the appearance but doesn’t replace the missing hair in the donor area.

?The use of body hair to cover your FUE scars is a terrible idea. The use of Scalp Micropigmentation is the gold standard for this problem, see here: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/
The donor area may be over-harvested. You should be examined by an expert to find out. Longer hair will address this or you can use Scalp Micropigmentation to address this as well (more permanent solution, see here: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/)
A colleague of mine was walking and saw this man. He asked for permission to take a photo of him and found out that he went to Turkey for his FUE. He had two FUE surgeries. What is impressive is (1) the now almost bald donor area and (2) the terrible growth and distribution that […]
You must get your surgeon to measure your donor density (https://newhair.com/resources/#tab-id-4) and with that number, you will know, using the chart here: how to calculate your limit for FUE. The photo below is what you want to avoid by protecting yourself as I described in the link I supplied.
Your donor area appears over-harvested especially because I see that the doctor went out of the permanent zone, into your neck hair which is not permanent and above the permanent zone on the right side. The area itself, looks like the density has been significantly depleted. Time will tell as you allow the donor hair […]
Over-harvesting is a reflect of the total number of FUE grafts harvested, compared to your donor density, as defined here. To find out if your donor area was over-harvested, ask your surgeon what your donor density was prior to the surgery. In addition, I believe that the surgeon went too low into your neck hair which […]
Your donor area may be over-harvested reflecting that either the FUEs were taken too close to each other for the density of the area, the punch was too large or your donor area could not support the number of FUE grafts you received. It is possible that the donor area is undergoing vascular shock loss. If […]
I have collected a series of photos from the internet of victims from overly aggressive surgeons who don’t understand the limits of performing FUE and have depleted the donor area on this patients (https://newhair.com/resources/#tab-id-4). These men may have addressed their balding on the front, top and crown of their head, but they traded it off […]
For a typical Indian, assuming that you actually had 5,700 hairs, which would extrapolate to ~3900 grafts, this would be considered over-harvested. The average “Indian” hair density has an original hair population of about 80,000 hairs. The photos confirm your suspicion of over-harvesting. The maximum FUE for a typical Indian should be limited to about 3,000 grafts […]
It does appear that your donor area could be depleted. If your donor density wasn’t significantly above average, then it would not support the number of grafts you reported that you received.
This is another Turkey patient who was over-harvested. The amount of hair taken from the donor area exceeded what the donor density would support, a common problem when FUE grafts are pushed higher and higher. To make matters worse, the non-permanent zone was harvested as well, so many of the grafts that were harvested are […]
Your donor area is clearly over-harvested and this will be a problem that only scalp micropigmentation can solve, see here: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/. Some doctors just don’t get it and many doctors think because they can perform a successful FUE, that they understand what they are doing. More and more doctor are entering this field today for the […]
Many people can not tolerate 5,000 FUE grafts taken from the donor area without ending up with donor area depletion and donor area balding with problems similar to what your photo shows. I am afraid you may be in that situation. If this continues to be a problem by the fifth month, you may need to look into Scalp MicroPigmentaiton […]
