Is my brow lift ruining my hair transplant? (Photo)

I’m 10 months post-op with a transplant to the corners. Three months ago I had an endoscopic browlift and there is still scarring. The transplant doesn’t look dense at all so I was wondering if this is due to the transplant being a failure or the browlift creating scar tissue and shock loss.

Leaving scabs on your head for over a month after a hair transplant procedure is not recommended as it can potentially harm the grafts and their growth. Scabs can form as a natural part of the healing process after a hair transplant, but it's important to follow your surgeon's post-operative...
