Thanks for the feedback guys, it sounds like I just need to wait another 3-4 months. I am not taking any medication @A_4_Archan. Other than my temple areas receding my overall hair density seems ok. What would you suggest? I am not interested in taking Finasteride but I was considering some topical Minoxidil

I had 1600 grafts from the back of my head to fill in my temple areas. It is now 1 week away from 3 months since the procedure and the donor site is still looking very patchy. I was told I have an excellent donor site with thick hair and 1600 grafts would be moderate, but I am still living in a hat as it looks so obvious I had a procedure done. The recipient site has responded well and the hairs are growing, but the back of my head is a complete patchy mess and you can clearly see the rectangle area with straight lines marking the harvest area. Is 3 months normal to still have shock loss in the donor site, or is this a case of over-harvesting? If it is over-harvesting would micro-pigmentation be a good way to make it look less obvious and blend the skin colour in? (Graphic photo is 1 day after the procedure) Any advice appreciated Thanks
