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.

What can I do about this? It has been over a year and the grafts did not fill in my bald spot
The pattern shown in this photo shows that the grafts were removed with FUE in two stripes and will cause a see-through donor area when the hair grows out particularly if he cuts his hair short. The lower FUE harvest seems to come from the neck which is not permanent hair.
If you are over-harvested, you will not grow back your hair. The only solution for this is Scalp Micropigmentation ( https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/ ). To Those Who’ve Had FUE from tressless
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 […]
Yes, according to these photos, the doctor not only over-harvested you but the doctor most probably also extended the FUE into the non-permanent zone.
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 […]
This is another patient who had his donor area over-harvested with a see-through look that he did not expect. He was never informed that this could happen. He wants something done about it and I recommended Scalp Micropigmentation for him (see: https://scalpmicropigmentation.com/scar-covering/#!) which should easily handle the appearance of the see-through donor area. His doctor […]
4500 FUE grafts are most likely too many grafts for most men. The typical Caucasian’s limits are around 3600 grafts based upon an average donor density and medium weight hair. Without knowing your original donor density, I cannot tell, but I can predict that you will most likely have a see-through donor area. See: https://newhair.com/donor-area/
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 […]
Clearly from the photo, you have significant over-harvesting present. Some of this may be shock loss if the surgery was recent, but if it is more than 6 months, it is permanent. The two pictures show the same patient, with long hair on the left and shaved on the right. The only thing you can […]
