Cutis verticis gyrata caused by hair transplant?

Question

I noticed that i have 3 ridges on my scalp and I'm 100% sure it wasnt there before my hair transplant. Its now 5 months post op and they appeared around 3 weeks post op. What caused this? Will it get worse? What can i do to remove them besides scalp reduction surgery?

Cutis verticis gyrata is more likely a genetic trait.  People actually have hair FUT (strip harvest) transplant surgery to remove the skin folds.

First of all, who gave you the CVG diagnostic after hair transplantation? I have seen very few CVG cases not related to hair transplantation. And you are the 2nd one with CVG after hair restoration. I didn't see any pictures. Can you attach some? Thx. Did you contact your original surgeon about the issue?

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

This is a known entity and almost certainly was there prior to your hair transplants were done
