Recipient site scars

[pharmer]

I am about 3 weeks post HT with 900 grafts having been placed, 600 in the front and 300 in the crown. I have had 650 grafts done about 2 years ago in the front by the same Dr. I was very pleased with the results from the first surgery, but after this one I am noticing small slit like scars were the hair transplanted is coming out. I also am noticing some raised areas were the transplanted hair is coming out as well. This is mostly occuring in the temple area and the front hair line. I here this is more common for coarse dark hair, but I have fine blond hair. Is this normal and only temporary or do I need to bring this up with my Dr.

Hi Pharmer,

 

I cannot answer your question, however, I posted a question on "recipient" scarring on this thread. You may find the responses to my question relevant to yours.

 

Cheers!
