Follow-Up: Do I need another transplant to make my bumps go away on my hairline? What are my options to fix this? (photo)

CocoknowsbestSep 5, 2017
I got a FUE hair transplant late April of last year for the temples of my hairline. Although my overall results of my hair line is ok, some of my hairs are along the hair line are growing in with bumps at the root. It looks kinda pluggish. My doctor prescribed my 1% Clindamycin Phosphate twice now and i still have them.

FUE is only a harvesting method.  If you are concerned about donor area scarring when keeping your hair short you should choose the FUE method.  FUE requires shaving your head so it would be very obvious after surgery.

Eye strain or staring at a computer screen will not affect your hair transplant surgery.  If you have issues, it is best to contact your doctor.

If you are considering a cosmetic surgery it would be in your interest to see a doctor for an examination to make sure you would be a candidate.

If you have a history of gynecomastia you need to discuss your decision to take Propecia with your surgeon.  You need to understand all the side effects (one of which is gynecomastia) and weigh it against the benefits.

In some cases some men and women may see scarring or unnatural bumps on the scalp.  This may be a technical issue or a patient issue.  There isn't much you can do with make it go away completely.  In some cased you may have to add more hairs to cover the scars.
