💡 Will your donor area look empty after a hair transplant?
Let’s clear this right away 👇
Hi, I’m Dr. Aseema Pati, Consultant Maxillofacial Surgeon at Reviva Clinic.
One of the most common concerns patients have is:
👉 “Will my donor area look patchy or empty after graft removal?”
✅ The answer is NO — when the transplant is done properly.
✔️ Grafts are extracted evenly from the entire donor area
✔️ They are taken with proper spacing (not from one spot)
✔️ Only a small percentage of hair is removed to maintain natural density
⚠️ Donor area thinning happens only when:
❌ Over-harvesting is done
❌ The procedure is poorly planned
✨ With the right technique and expert hands, your donor area heals naturally and looks just like before.
