hi all, after a long time researching, I had my hair transplant done recently by a very reputable/popular doctor (not on this forum). Unfortunately according to the doctor, because I'm prone to hypertrophic/keloid scarring there is a high chance that I end up with some sort of ridging & tenting & scarring. I'm at a point where I'm really starting to regret having had this done if I'm going to end up with bad scarring. Is there anything I can do now while I'm recovering (still within the 1st week post op) to prevent scars / ridging from forming? or at least minimize chance of scarring? Would PRP help? stem cell therapy? thank you!

hi all, are bumps like shown below always surgical error? or could a patient who is prone to scarring also be prone to them from hair transplant? surgeon says the patient whose result is shown here was very prone to keloids which is why he got these bumps after the procedure. But I've read cobblestoning (if what's shown below is cobblestoning) is always surgical error so i wanted to check. what about general scarring like this as shown below? recipient area does not look smooth.. is this dependent on patient skin type or surgical error? thank you!

Thank you everyone for your response. @Bhumik Shah MD I was wondering because some results from this particular surgeon shows a bit of cobblestoning, and I was wondering if that is any way related to the fact that he leaves the epidermis caps intact (and he has stated that he does not trim the grafts at all)

hi all, is it a red flag if the surgeon does not trim grafts after extraction? leading to lot of tissue around the grafts when implanting as shown in the picture below (look like white 'caps') suregeon's reasoning is that they don't want to trim away any of the healthy tissues that help in growing... It concerns me since I've read that too much tissue around grafts can cause too much trauma and cause cobble stoning, ridging etc. AND it seems that most world renowned surgeons (Pekiner, Rahal, Konir etc) all trim the tissue around grafts to a point where these white 'caps' do not show when they implant. thoughts? thank you!

hi all, from what I've read, apparently ridging can occur when the excess tissue isn't properly shaved off from the hair grafts, i.e. when the graft is too big for the recipient site. So you'd think this could only stem from surgical errors.. (sources: https://www.bernsteinmedical.com/research/art-of-repair-in-surgical-hair-restoration-part-ii-the-tactics-of-repair/#:~:text=As discussed in the section,body's reaction to that tissue. https://www.hairtransplantmentor.com/what-is-hair-transplant-ridging/) But the many doctors I've spoken to (and watched videos of) have told me that sometimes it just happens. Not from fault of the surgeon / techs, but just dependent on the patient's skin. And not only for patients that are prone to hypertrophic / keloid scarring, but it can happen to anyone. What could really be the cause of it? Can maybe adding too much density to the hairline area cause ridging / tenting? Also, I've found a lot more Asian patients with ridging issues than Caucasians. I wonder if Asians are just naturally more prone to ridging? (I've read that Asians scar more easily than Caucasians) If there is anyone that experienced ridging/tenting post-op: were you prone to scarring? has it improved at all? either naturally or through medical procedures? thank you! example of ridging I found from a patient review:

hi all, while looking at some 1 year post op pictures by this clinic, I noticed these bumps(?) on the base of the transplanted hair. They're very small but are definitely noticeable in this lighting, especially when you compare the transplanted hairs to the native hairs on the temples (no bumps). Is this normal and to be expected? or would this be considered 'cobblestoning' that should have been avoided by the surgeon? image source: https://cafe.naver.com/common/storyphoto/viewer.html?src=https%3A%2F%2Fcafeptthumb-phinf.pstatic.net%2FMjAyMzA4MjFfOSAg%2FMDAxNjkyNTk4MjE1OTkw.bL9y1E2HmMrDskQj7ncJ50wG8Gy0BAyl_H_6lsspfaUg.WTS9JF1aueLLJHEniJHxni_gqSaaYf10Pw0jX8h7KS4g.JPEG%2FKakaoTalk_20230819_152423240_01.jpg%3Ftype%3Dw1600 thank you!

FUE Hair Transplant Review - Dr. Laorwong - 2,600 Grafts

thanks for the update @Gi29! did you like your final result? did more hair grow? -
Anybody here who has gone to Dr Bahk at motion clinic in Korea? I know there are some YouTube videos with great reviews.. but I'm struggling to find any other info on Dr Bahk. Not much on here or reddit. Motion clinics website doesn't have a ton of good info I can use either. Wondering if there are more people on this forum who have had good experiences with Dr Bahk. Thank you!

hi all, I've been reading mixed responses online regarding row implanting - some say it will lead to a unnatural look and you won't be able to buzz your hair since it will be noticeable that you had work done. On the other hand, I've heard that your natural hair also has some 'rows' and that as long as it's used correctly it will yield good results... The doctor that I'm considering also seems to do some row planting (although it does look like he mixes it up a bit towards the very front of the hairline) . His results seem really good for the most part, but I just wanted to check with everyone here. how does it look? more of his work... and more thank you!
