have any pictures of the donor ?

Has anyone here ever had this done? If so, what is your experience ? I'm curious, I have a weak donor and this interested me because its synthetic hair implantation. 

any update? did the hair grow back in that area ?

I used dermatch (a concealer) to hide my overharvested/thin donor areas. Worked great.

Are you still using it daily? I've tried it but its such a hassle, messy.

It’s actually not uncommon at all. Every person with multiple FUE surgeries will experience a thinner donor area, it all depends on what you’re comfortable with. 

First and foremost it’s difficult to provide accurate advice without pictures. Secondly, have you tried to experimenting with hair lengths etc.?

How come I can't find any topics over here of people complaining about an overharvested donor with FUE ? 

I've tried longer hair lengths but it seems like a temporary solution...if the hair gets messy, then the thin donor is still revealed. I'm not comfortable with posting pictures yet. 

I'm now looking at wigs to try and cover my back up. My beard, body hair is finite and I don't know what the survival rate is if I transplant it into donor FUE scars. And I'm afraid SMP will look too unnatural. 

If there are any other options, suggest please.

When did you have the FUE procedure done? This matters because if it was recent, it will most likely look much better after it heals which could be several months or more if you had some shock loss in the area.

If it was done some time ago and it actually has been over harvested, then you can try looking into either having some SMP into the area or putting some beard grafts into the area.

i've had it done 1 year ago, it is not shockloss, it has just been overharvested.

I feel like its such an uncommon issue and that I'm the one that was unlucky but I really need some suggestions on how to cover a thin donor area, my donor was over harvested and I'm trying to find solutions to cover up the thinness of the back.

Anyone here have a over havested donor after FUE and if so, what steps did you take to cover it up so it does not look so thin ? 

I've had two FUE surgeries and my doctor overharvested my donor area. It is very thin and I'm having a hard time covering it up even with long hair. I'm considering body hair into the donor area but don't know if the body hairs will match my scalp hair or even survive when transplanted.

I'm also considering Scalp Micro Pigmentation into the donor but I'm afraid it will look unnatural if it starts to fade or become a "blob".

Are there any options to make the back donor area look thicker ?
