Possible over harvesting ? 1 month post with photos

[Ruehlmanmj]

Hi there ! I had FUE 3200 grafts extracted exactly a month ago . I’m curious if you think I’ve experienced over harvesting in donor area or if I had shock loss possibly ? I am worried  thanks for any help (I had beard brows and small area of hairline transplanted and they all look wonderful but so worried about this moth look )

Hey,

It looks like the graft extraction wasn't spread out enough but rather congested.. however for some people the donor area shock loss always happens in the first month. I've had it. 

Come back again next month with a photo like this with the same haircut length and you will know if you were overharvested or not

Good luck

Can you post some post op pics bro? Could be either shock loss or over harvesting, even a combo of both, difficult to tell.

I added immediate post opp pics of donor area - the last two photos of me are photos of me before the operation

I added more pics  immediately after and the other two are me a few weeks prior to operation

If this is the before picture, I'm puzzled as to why you had a hair transplant. In any case you may have some shock loss and you will have to wait several months to see how well the donor area heals.

Too soon to tell at this point.  Give us an update in about 2 to 3 more months.  You may be pleased at that point.

My thoughts exactly. He had a full head of hair.

Looking at the immediate post op pics of the donor where was the recipient area? The only thing is to wait and be patient as your hair grows out. All the best.
