I'm considering shaving my head to get SMP. Should I consider having scar revision surgery before getting SMP done? (Photo)

Asked By:pitt82 in Pittsburgh, PA

I have a wide scar after having three transplant procedures. It is slightly pink compared to the surrounding scalp. The scar looks and feels smooth and flat. Are wider scars tougher to conceal? Is there a chance that the scar can widen again after the revision surgery?
