So obviously im feaking out here.
I went to get the FUE procedure done. there was no shave of the recipient area (frontal hair line area).
Now i had hair in this area, not a ton, and it was thinning but there was clearly hair throughout the area.
the doctor poked the holes, all over my recipient area, and then for the next 3 hours the nurse's filled the holes with the grafts.
once i sat up, i looked in the mirror and all my original hair that was in that area was gone.
I absolutely did not expect that.
the way he explained it was that: "ya when we dont shave the recipient area, you end up getting a bit of a hair cut during the procedure"
Can anyone please help me understand if this is normal, and if this is permanent or if those original hairs will grow back?
