There is an area of the donor area that doesnt appear to have grown back as of yet. Is this normal? The rest of my hair at the back has grown back but there is an area near the top that hasnt. Does anyone know why this could be as this area did not look like this pre op.
Did you get strip or FUE?
Nothing in particular.
FUE
I know with strip, you are going to get a thin spot where the strip was removed. There is no way to avoid it. You have to let the hair above it grow out long enough to cover the scar. With FUE, I'm sure you will have a general thinning out of your donor area where the plugs were removed. Unless you went to Gho and had his HSC procedure done, your donor grafts that were removed are not going to regenerate, AFAIK. I think some HT doctors are using A-cell and PRP to try to regenerate the donor, but I'm not sure if it really works. I know Cole claims he gets a 54% regeneration rate in the donor, but I'm skeptical of it and I think its probably a bunch of BS. But IDK.
Nothing in particular.
You must have in mind that some hairs in the donor (due to shock) do not appear before month 3 or more. That was the case in my HTs in which the donor area was thinner in the first few months than after month 4 which was in a much better condition. So wait a little more to find out if this is the case with you as well.
Past NW6, now NW2 with 6.217 grafts at DHI (minox 2ml/day + Spirolactone + fungoral 1/week)

I hope your right, the whole point in the harvesting stage is to do it in a way where it is not noticeable. Im not sure if too much was taken from that area or maybe it is shock loss, I certainly hope it grows back.
