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

Question

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.

People heal differently.  In general redness goes away in about a week or so.  If the redness is persisting it is best to contact your doctor.  It may all be normal but it is best to see your doctor in person so you can have an examination for a possible treatment.

I am not so sure that the issue is pitting but it is far too early to make any assessments.  At this polnt you need to give things some time to heal up and give your surgeon the benefit of the doubt  -  after all, I assume you were confident in his ability to do a nice hair transplant.

If you have pitting scars after the hair transplant and all of the crusts are off, go back and speak with your doctor about it

Brian Goertz, MD (retired) · Answer

It appears you have pitting in the recipient sites. But it is difficult to be completely sure unless you are seen in person. In general, improper implanting techniques will lead to pitting. Follow up with your surgeon to see if appearance persists.
