Question: I've seen men who've had hair transplants and the back sometimes looks patchy. If you harvest the donor area, does the hair on the back of the head then look thinned out?
Answer: Patchy or thin hair along the donor area is only a concern if there is significant scarring with a single wide scar or multiple horizontal scars, or if 40% or more of the donor hair has been extracted. As long as this is avoided, you can expect results that are both undectable and look great.
