Scar Revision or Hair Transplant to cover hairline lowering scar? (Photos)

LargeForeheadDec 26, 2016
Last question, I promise! Should I consider a scar revision or just a FUT/FUE on my hairline lowering scar? It's been about 2.5 years since the procedure. I'm anxious to go under the knife for a scar revision since my scar didn't heal as well as I expected the first time around, and I'm not sure how much better it would get.

Lasers, peels and skin care can be used to give improvement in pigmentation however, you may not get cure only improvement.  Please see an expert.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello and thanks for your question, An ear nose and throat doctor will help you. This sounds like it's scar tissue from the wound but could be a cyst or something else.  an ENT is also called an otolaryngologist  Hope that helps and God Bless! Dr. Robb

Keloid surgery is covered by most PPO insurance plans. I would suggest daily massage with Plato's Scar Serum followed by surgical excision. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles
