If you are having issues after surgery, especially with "lines or creases" you should contact your doctor.  It is not clear what you are describing.

The two possibilities for this are 1. natural creases that Have become visible now, or due to the scarring and contracture of the skin due to the transplant. If your procedure was done recently you can still do things to impact the creases and improve them including steroid injections.

If you have had changes in your scalp, go back and see your doctor and ask your doctor what these are and why you have them
