It's been almost 1 year and my donor area still noticeable... Is it poor execution? 1000 Grafts FUE

The grafts werenโ€™t spread out. If you harvest in a square, a square will be visible. Have you reached out to your surgeon?

This is sadly a poor planing and definitely not normal outcome. Using a really small area to harvest from causes this.

At least, do you have good results on the recipient area?

Only thing you can really do now is either (1) re-implant some hairs back to the area in question in a homogenous pattern, or (2) SMP.

I think SMP would work well to mask the overharvesting in your case if you keep the fade at that length you have in the pictures as minimum since your surrounding hair is long enough for it to not look unnatural.
