Answer: Hair transplants don't grow well in scarred tissue. Your best choice for scarring alopecia is excision of the scar with or without a tissue expander, or a scalp flap to reconstruct the area where the scar was removed. For large areas we use the Fleming-Mayer Flap, but this is not usually needed for small areas. Also, excision is much cheaper than transplants.
