How to Spot a Overharvested Area ?

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

had a hair transplant at the beginning of February, it's been 3 weeks and I am noticing my donor area hair is not growing as I thought.

I know it has only been 3 weeks, and maybe it's just my fear of having a bad result giving me anxiety, but I find it weird that my donor area looks a bit "bald" for a transplant of only 2000 grafts ? 

Do you guys think it's indeed a bit overharvested, or is it just in my head? 

thanks !!

Hi Melvin, thanks for the video, even though it was very informative, I have a question :

- can a transplant of 2000 grafts still overharvest your donor area ? How does that work ? Because my donor area was quite spread out, does this mean that they took out WAY more grafts than needed ? 

as stated in the original post, it's only been 3 weeks, I hope it will get better ...

2,000 grafts extracted in one area, yes. But it’s very unlikely a small procedure will be a true overharvest.
