Answer: Hair Transplantation and Ridging
There is not a very reliable way to do this. Any of these (or a combination) can be done depending on your surgeon and presentation:
Steroid injections
Grafting hairs to camouflage it
Removal of grafts with tissue to debulk area
Excision

Answer: Reducing Ridging
Yes. The hair grafts and the associated elevated skin can be excised and usually this can reduce any elevated or ridging of the skin. I assume you are referring to the previous use of large plug grafts.

Answer: Treatment for ridging
The usual condition described as "ridging" is an arc of elevated thickened scalp skin after repeated old fashioned punch grafts were done to create maximum density for a front hairline. The only success I have had in treating this condition is to cut out the full thickness of skin and settle for a fine scar that usually fades away. One has to have a flexible scalp and forehead and limited ridging (at the most, 4cm from front to back) to do this .
