Hair Transplant on scar after hairline lowering surgery - Should I go for FUT or FUE?

October 12, 2019
Asked By:Sophie2000

I had hairline lowering surgery 2 years ago and have been left with a visible scar (worse on one side as shown on the photos). I am now wanting a hair transplant to cover this. I have been to several surgeons who have given me different advice. I would like to hear from surgeons who have experience in either surgeries on which transplant you think would be more suitable for my case, FUT or FUE? And how many grafts would be needed to cover it? I am a 20 year old female with thin hair.
