Question

Hair Transplant FUT Donor Scar Closure. Tricho Closure. I had an FUT 2 weeks ago IAHRS doctor. I feel a hole on the edge of the scar, and a raised bump with valley above on scar. The raised bump/valley gives me the most concern. I am just looking for any other experiences of this resolving and flattening. I have visited the doctor to express concern, I would like expert opinions from others. Picture of scar on closure. First one is of the "Valley over Bump" second is of "hole" at end of scar.

It could be a spitting suture or signs of an infection.  I would recommend you visit your hair surgeon who performed the FUT and they can take a culture if warranted.  Common signs of infection are swollen or hardened excision, redness pus or raised skin.

It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.Photos cannot clearly assess your condition.

David Deutsch, MD · Answer

I would follow up with your surgeon but there is probably not much to do at this point but wait.Scars remodel and change in appearance for up to a year -my suspicion is this will ultimately heal within normal limits.

The scar doesn't looks heal well, it can be an reaction.You should contact your surgeons he will give you the solution to get better.

Brian Goertz, MD (retired) · Answer

The redness is often a sign of infection and since you are early in the post operative time frame you should visit your surgeon for diagnosis and treatment.
