Does my donor area look over harvest? 2507 grafts

[Nisa88]

Hello,

I went to have a hair transplant 2 weeks ago. I really regret it as I was in a rush and thought I had a good deal. I want to know if my donor area looks like it’s been over harvest as it is causing me a lot of anxiety and depression.

doesn't look like it to me. why do you think it is??

kind of hard to tell from these pictures. we'll have a better idea when the hair starts to grow back after it was shaved

I agree that it is hard to tell at this stage. Hopefully not ofcourse. Have you had eyebrows and hairline lowering done at the same time?

I agree with the above, difficult to tell. Can you provide more pics and details of your ht ?

2 weeks is too early, it will take a few months for the donor to heal, you may experience shock loss in the donor. The good news is it gets better.

Agree with above, it's too early to tell. Also, after surgery its always going to look like too much so try not to worry

Sorry I haven’t been on here for a while. I been have therapy and medication as result of a botched hair transplant. I feel ashamed and I can’t forgive myself for what these horrible people done to me.  Battling with severe depression and suicidal ideation. I feel like a freak, I look horrible…. I really don’t no what to say… I have bad anxiety. I don’t no what I done to deserve it this. I can’t understand why a next human being would want to hurt someone. They don’t me they were doctors but all lies! Just messed up my hair for money. I really want justice but I don’t know even where to start as I went to Turkey natural clinic in Istanbul. Here’s. What my hair looks like. I just shave it of bald as this is the only way I can function as a human. I have ocd about how my hair looks, honestly my hair wasn’t that bad before. I wish I it, man the PTSD is to much for me to deal with. I was bother before about my hair this much but now I cover my head even when going to sleep. The shame has taken over.

So sorry to see this, someone like Dr Mwamba or Dr Bisanga could help you in a repair. Very, very few people are skilled in Afro centric hair, and even more so when it comes to careful repairs. Reading back then yeah you’re concerns of being over harvested were totally justified.

You should look to a country where a surgeon does Afro cases day in day out. Very few surgeons can offer high quality FUE Afro surgery. FUT seems to be the preferred route especially with your tight curl. 

I hope you come through this stronger, and wish you the very best. There are docs in America/ South America who I think would be better suited, if you wanted a repair and of course if you had the donor area to facilitate it. Have you tried smp?

Whoever did this to you should be in prison. The fact that there is typically no legal recourse for something like this is insane. I know it's hard to deal with but try to forgive yourself. Unfortunately this happens to a lot of people. When I look at what Dr. Diep did to my donor I sometimes feel the same way. Contact Dr. Mwamba - he repairs donors. There is hope.
