Bumps in donor area FUE

[nutstoo]

I am a NW3, partly NW4 (no loss in the crown). I had a hair transplant operation about 7 weeks ago in Turkey. My doctor was Dr Beyan. It was a two day procedures where 3650 graphs (about 8500 hairs were transplanted (660 1s, 1000+ 2s, 1000+ 3s and 400 4s). This is definitively dense packing in an area of about 50 sq cm. I am now 7 weeks post op. I am having several small bumps, pimples, not really sure what they are in the DONOR, area. I have not found anything on the internet on problems in the DONOR area after FUE. What is causing these bumps, pimples? are they permanent? what should I do? I am happy with my transplant otherwise, but it looks like shit at the moment. Again, this is in the DONOR not recipient area.

I do not want to freak you out, but get the area examined as soon as possible by a different doctor to be sure you do not have the beginning onset of an infection in the area. That is alot of grafts for such a confined surface area and wonder how much that could potentially affect the overall yield?

 

Is the area inflamed at all to the touch? What post-op instructions did your doc give you to treat both the donor and recipient area?

You should contact your clinic ASAP and see what they suggest.

They are prob transected grafts growing back.

The area is not inflamed, so I don't think its an infection. I was told by a friend who already had a procedure that it could be the part of the gland that was not removed with the graft trying to push up (not really sure what that means, or why that would occur). It could be transected grafts. they are small and there are not many. about 6 bumps. I did have 3650 holes back there. If it is transected grafts, will they go away with time? otherwise i am at almost 8 weeks and no growth at all, but that is to be expected: can't wait for month 5 and will post pics soon.

This might help. I had 1700 implanted the first day, and 1950 the second day. She used a recently available motor extraction tool. (instead of the hand punch) She has 15 years of experience, had tons of assistants and all the latest tools (microscopes to check for transection, lateral slite blades). all in all, first rate clinic.

If its only 6 bumps then probably nothing to worry about but I'd be curious to see what the docs says it is. I've had 2 fue procedures and haven't seen what you are describing.
