Richard W. Fleming, MD answers: Hiding scar through hair transplant?

How long do I have to wait before I can get hair transplant over a recently excised 0.6 cm pox scar in my cheek, in an attempt to cover the scar?

First I ask what your trying to camouflage? If it is the appearance of the scar it would be best to revise the incision. If there is a depression, use of a filler may be easier. Remember, if you do transplants it will be necessary to grow a beard, or you've wasted your time and money.

I assume you want hair in the graft. This can be done by excision or grafting. Usually, these areas of this size are excised rather than grafted to produce a better result.
