tom129 Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Has anyone decided to shave their head after transplant surgery and had any luck with concealing the scar? Are there any really good cover-up, make-up or concealers out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member FoxLox Posted December 10, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted December 10, 2003 Tom129- It depends on what you mean by shave your head. Are we talking about shaving it with a 1/2 inch or 1/4 inch guard, or are we talking about shaving it slick down to the skin. I've had my scar area buzzed with a 1/2 guard since a little after the procedure, and DermMatch has done a good job. I don't think that DermMatch would work to well using a 1/4 inch guard, but I've never tried it. If you're talking about a shave down to the scalp (bicked), good luck, I'm not sure what you could use. Some types of make-up might help, but I still think that the scar would be visible. I considered bicking my head after the procedure, but decided against it. One of the options that I was thinking of doing was using glasses/sunglasses and those stupid little cloth things that hook to the back of the glasses, going around the back of one's head, so that the glasses don't fall off. I was thinking about finding one of those, or making one, that was wide enough and just the right size to cover the scar. I figured that I would have looked stupid wearing it, but at least it would have covered the scar. Anyways, it's just a thought. Take it for what it's worth.
