Asked By:ahmedmohdroshdy in Marburg, DE

I got 4 stitches in my chin after a bike accident, that was about 2 weeks ago, now that the stitches are removed I can see the skin but I can't see hair growing back. So how long it will take to know whether there will be hair regrowth or it'll remain permenet bald. Also hair transplant on scar tissue in possible or not and when should I consider a hair transplant, should I do it after 1 or 2 months or should I wait?

Answer: Traumatic injury from cuts and lacerations will leave a scar and there may be hair loss. Only time will tell.
