Yes this is absolutely possible. You can either have the scar excised and closed with the newer techniques that allow hair to grow out of the scar. You can also have an FUE procedure and have grafts placed into your scar.
Depending on he type of scar, location, and surrounding scalp conditions, there are several options. Sometimes a multi technique approach can be used. Scar revision, micro needling, tattoo camouflage , and FUE type punching of the scar will definitely improve the appearance! Combining these usually makes a great improvement.
Hair transplant scar repair can be achieved by inserting grafts extracted through Follicular Unit Extraction( FUE) into the scar tissue. With this approach, the scar can be sufficiently hidden so that it is no longer visible. Here is an example of a patient from the Dr.U Hair Clinic who underwent a strip scar repair while replenishing the areas of non-growth which resulted from his previous procedure . His before and after photos show that inserting Follicular Unit Extraction grafts into the rather large strip scar was quite effective at concealing it. In fact, many of our patients can wear a short buzz cut after this type of scar repair.
You generally have two options: (1) Scar revision - at BEST this will give you about 50% reduction in width, (2) Scalp MicroPigmenation SMP - this will not remove a scar but will help hide the scarSee video
Once a strip surgery produces a scar is performed, you cannot remove it. The best you can hope to do is to camouflage the scar by adding hair to the scar by follicular unit extraction, applying small dots of pigment by scalp micro pigmentation, or to reduce the width of the scar by a scar revision. Strip procedures also cause a misdirection in hair growth alignment, as well as, joining hair of different caliber along the margins of the scar. These problems of misalignment and differing hair caliber cannot be resolved. The best solution is to avoid a strip harvest procedure entirely.

It is not possible to remove a scar. Anytime an incision is made in the human body, a scar will form. Both FUE and strip surgery give scars, albeit different sizes and types.

Scars on the human body are generally permanent but there are a few ways to hide and camouflage better
Yes you can do scar revision after hair transplant. There is a trichophytic closure which if done right under the hands of a experienced surgeon, will leave a very small line. The hair will grow into the line and makes it almost impossible to detect.
Thank you for your question. The small crusts around the micrographs will fall off naturally at around 10-14 days. You can wash your hair daily and gently with a mild shampoo. Try not to remove the crusts and allow them to fall off naturally. Just looking at your photos it appears that you ...
Dear kamal123Thanks for the question. After a proper hair consultation , any hair surgeon will advice you to keep on with Propecia for a year and then it would be good to consider a hair transplant surgery. As far as I can see even there are some new hair coming up in the area in which you ...
