Purpose:
As you might already know, with FUE, scarring or hypopigmentation of the donor area is one of the risks inherent in the procedure. This gallery of FUE scars is meant to help patients considering FUE, so they can be more informed of the range of scarring and hypopigmentation that could result from the procedure. Ultimately, as we gather more data points through pictures, patients can be more informed, have more realistic expectations, and ultimately be more satisfied with the outcome of their procedures.
Disclaimer:
The purpose of this is not to praise or criticize the skills of any of the doctors that have performed any of the following FUE procedures. It should be understood that, even the most skilled surgeon in the world can't really guarantee any sort of result when it comes to the scarring or hypopigmentation that results from FUE; although, picking a qualified surgeon could certainly hedge your risk. This is simply a collected gallery of data points, from various doctors, so patients can make more informed decisions for themselves.
Criteria:
To limit the variables a bit, I picked pictures where patients shaved their donor areas down to a zero guard, or close to a zero guard, so we can clearly see what scarring / hypopigmentation resulted.
Submit Pictures:
This is entirely a voluntary, user-submitted database. If you had FUE performed, or know of a picture of a donor area shaved down close to a zero guard after undergoing a FUE procedure, please comment with a link to your picture, and I will add it to the running list. If you have any more information about the procedure, including size of the punches used, as well as the doctor, that would be good to know, too.
