Asked By:LongApple in Texarkana, AR

"looseness of the scalp in the donor area" can affect the number of hair transplants one can do. 1. Is there some technique using one's own hands or tools to gently stretch the donor area skin daily? 1.5. What modifications would you make to the above if you already have an FUT incision scar in the donor area? 2. Are there medical procedures that a doctor can do to increase skin looseness in the donor area?
