Regular Member 4head Posted July 17, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted July 17, 2006 I am about 3 years out from a 1200 strip procedure from Bosley to fill in my receeding hairline. Overall I am very happy with my results (been on propecia for 3 years as well with great success). However, one side of the scar did not heal as well as the other. Most of the scar is 1-2mm but the right side is 5mm for about 2 inches. I am thinking about shaving my head down to a 2-3 clip and that 5mm part really draws attention to the scar, otherwise I could probably go undetected. I went to one plastic surgeon but she seemed to think at best she could reduce the scar by 50% but I got the feeling she never performed a scar revision on the scalp before so I walked out. Can anyone recommend a reputable hair transplant Dr. in the NJ, NY, PA area to perform a scar revision? I'd rather deal with someone who does this on a regular basis. Bosley said they'd do it for free but I am apprehensive about going back to the person that put the 5mm scar there in the 1st place. Thanks!

Senior Member wesley949 Posted July 18, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2006 I would recommend Robert Bernstein. He did a HT on me 6 months ago and I have a minimal scar. In fact all I see is a tint of redness but no scar. He has been New York Magazine's best HT doctor for 7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
