Pitting and cobblestoning hair transplant?

Question

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Pitting and cobble stoning may be a technical issue but it can also be partly a patient related issue if one is prone to scarring.

Brian Goertz, MD (retired) · Answer

Cobblestoning and pitting are the result of poor technique. Most (not all) full-time experienced hair transplant surgeons know how to avoid this mistake. This is not the forum to discuss the proper techniques and train doctors. The problem you have may ameliorated  with another procedure with a qualified surgeon.

William Rassman, MD (retired) · Answer

The cause of pitting is the placement of the grafts below the flat skin edge and cobblestonning occurs when the skin disc on the graft is too large and often placed just above the skin surface.
