Good video Melvin. The second case also shows the skin changing tone permanently in the harvested donor. This is likely due to excess scar tissue being built up in that area.

 

unfortunately, I think a majority of the “have I been over harvested” threads are likely over harvesting in some way. I notice most of these posts are from patients that have had surgery in mill type clinics in turkey.

This video just came in handy, thanks!

Yesterday 20 day post op I had massive donor shed (hundreds of hairs in the sink). I had 5700 extractions + 1000 BHT fit farming which is quite a bit. Donor is looking a bit scary but it looked way better and uniform post-op and the first weeks (and not now) so im assuming its just shock loss. Time to ride it out.
