It is unfortunate but FUE is not a "scarless" surgery. You cannot remove the scarring but you can consider Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP).
I don't know how many grafts you had done but it appears that the donor area has been overharvested.Perhaps if you let the hair grow several inches those areas will be covered.If not consider Scalp Micropigmentation(SMP)
For hiding the scars generally all you can do is grow your hair out longer, get SMP done, or utilize a combination of both. At a year out from your surgery the scars themselves are probably not going to change any further.
You have several options to camouflage yourdonor area. The easiest if to let yourhair grow longer. The second ismicropigmentation. The 3rdwould be to have second hair transplant to smooth out the transition zone anduse those grafts to re-enforce the front.
There really is very little outside of letting your hair grow longer to hide the donor scars. You may consider SMP to shade the area and trick the eye with the color contrast.
hi dear....please keep in mind there is no such thing as scar less surgery in hair restoration...so nothing can heel these scars once you get it.you can either go for another hair restoration procedure to fill these scars or even try Scalp Micro pigmentation on your overly harvested donor area.My suggestion is first try scalp micro pigmentation as its not only cost effective but give u better cosmetics results.
There are a couple of ways to mask the scarring from FUE. The easy way is to wear your hair a little longer and if the donor area was not over harvested, you may find it acceptable. The other way is micro-pigmentation which if done properly will allow you to wear your hair slightly shorter. You raise a great point for this forum and that is that there is scarring from both FUE and FUT. To obtain best results, individuals with hair loss should seek a full-time expert in both FUE and FUT and work with them to find the best solution for them. The American Board of Hair Restoration Surgeons prohibits marketing of FUE as a scar-less procedure.
The only treatment that works on FUE scars is scalp micropigmentation, something we do every day in our office, see below. If it is not done by an expert, the back of your head will look painted
Minoxidil should be fine to use past one month, provided that the healing process of your FUE has been fairly normal. A little irritation is a common side effect of it and if it doesn't bother you then it's nothing to worry about. But talking to your doctor about whether it's safe to start...
If your fever is from something unrelated to the transplant (cold/flu, etc.) then your transplants should be fine. If it's accompanied by signs that point to an infection on your scalp (scalp redness, irritation, etc.) then that is something you need to see your doctor about in order to address.
FUE scars can form when the FUE grafts are too closely placed together. This is shock loss sometimes and when this happens it will usually reverse.
