This question, from a member of our [tag]hair loss[/tag] social community and discussion forums, was answered by a staff physician from Coalition hair transplant clinic Shapiro Medical:
I am very concerned about my donor area. Recently I got a 860 graft [tag]follicular unit extraction[/tag] ([tag]FUE[/tag]) [tag]hair transplant[/tag]. Unfortunately,my donor is not what I expected, it looks very thin in my opinion (with just 860 grafts taken out!)
I think there a three options:
- They over harvested the donor area (to much grafts on too small area)
- Shock loss
- It is normal and will get better soon
Photos are pre-op and one month post-op. What do you think?
From your post-op pics, it does not appear that the donor was over harvested. The FUE sites actually look appropriately spaced. Even though there was not a large area of your donor used for the procedure, you had a relatively low number of grafts removed in one session. If you had a greater need for grafting, in my experience, we could have yielded 2500+ grafts over your entire donor area in the span of two days.
I believe the choices you gave of #2 and #3 may be more in line with what is actually occurring. Some people’s follicles are more susceptible to shock loss than others. I believe this is what we are seeing. It may take a few months before the donor area returns to normal.
Some [tag]hair restoration[/tag] physicians advocate the use of [tag]low level laser treatment[/tag] ([tag]LLLT[/tag]) and/or [tag]Rogaine[/tag] ([tag]minoxidil[/tag]) at this time to try to speed up the [tag]hair growth[/tag] in the donor.
How is the recipient area in front responding?

If, after you have given the donor area enough time to heal and fill in, you may want to seek out a Scalp Micropigmentation Specialist. This procedure uses small dots of tattoo to fill in the area under the hair. It hides the scalp and gives the illusion of thicker hair.
