24 days after hair transplant surgery - pitting scars still visible. (Photo)

piraciJun 18, 2017

Hello, This is my second post here. Now I am 24 days after the hair transplant and the scars are still visible. I have been told by my surgeon that it is normal but I don't believe him and I am pretty sure that these scars will never disappear, they are permanent. I should back to my work but it is not possible. Do you have any idea or recommendations how can I remove these scars or how can I hide them? Maybe some laser therapy may help. Best regards.

Sidreddy3434, Theoretically correct, trico-pigmentation does extend the potential donor by allowing more to be transplanted to where it is needed. As long as the style of short shaved look is desired then it should work, because of course it will not grow! Sincerely, Bernardino A. Arocha, MD

Hair transplants can be done to your eyebrows but Hairline is better done with a hairline advancement using the Irregular Trichophytic Hairline Incision which we developed. This is cheaper and gives a superior, immediate result without a texture change as is seen with hair transplants.  See a ...
