FUE after a prior FUT procedure?

December 14, 2015
Asked By:frozenabs007 in Billings, MT

Are there methods for an FUE procedure that help conceal a scar from a prior FUT procedure? I understand the recipient area will have some noticeable scabs for a good 10 days or so, but I'd like to avoid exposing the scar from my prior FUT procedure if possible. It seems that not many doctors offer unshaven FUE.

Answer: If you have a strip FUT scar already and you want FUE you would need to shave to have surgery.
