Covering FUT scars for people with type 1 diabetes?

aalsalaminJan 12, 2016
I have had an FUT hair transplant years ago, and i had an FUE hair transplant recently. I just want to cover my FUT scars by any possible way. I have an insulin-dependent diabetes and I went to have a tricopigmentation but they refused to do it to me because of my condition. What other possible ways can i cover my FUT scars with?

If you are losing lots of hair after a hair transplant surgery it may be shock hair loss. Photo of your hair is not generally helpful.  Seeing your doctor for a follow up exam is the best course of action if you are concerned.

Restoring temple (triangle) area may be challenging for doctors because it may not look natural.  Ask your doctor about their opinion and ask to see former patients and their results.

It certainly would be acceptable to wear a wig after FUE/FUT hair transplant. However, you should not wear one until the grafts are "stable" which is typically 10-14 days. Certainly you should discuss this with your doctor as you should follow his or her recommendations for the best result.

You cannot fix a bad hair transplant surgery. It's usually for life. You can see another doctor for your options.  Lasers cannot remove scarring from a hair transplant surgery.

If you believe having a hair transplant surgery has changed your face, see your doctor for a recheck.  This is highly unlikely but your doctor should have some good photos from a year ago (when you had your surgery).
