Can I get a hair transplant procedure done over cleft lip scars?

Hair Transplant can successfully minimize or eliminate the visibility of scars in hair bearing areas such as scalp scars and facial scars. Cleft lips could be successfully treated today, but they almost always leave a visible scar. Hair transplant can fill the hair in the scar area. Most people need only one transplant for this with a limited number of grafts. For a perfect coverage at times a second procedure is needed.

Generally speaking, yes, hair transplants can be done to scars from cleft lip repairs. For the most accurate answer for your specific case you would be best served by having a consultation with a plastic surgeon that performs hair transplant/restoration procedures to make sure the area you are interested in has sufficient blood supply to support the new grafts or what other options may be available to you. Good luck.
