Regular Member jwaves Posted March 6, 2006 Regular Member Share Posted March 6, 2006 Hi there, I had a hair transplant with a very well respected surgeon 2 weeks and a half ago. I have had previous transplant with the same surgeon. In the past the scar had been bigger than what I was happy with (it may have stretched) and have conveyed this prior to the operation. Today I noticed a bit of bald patch when I felt the back of my head. So I took a photo of the donor area. ...this bold patch is big. Its larger than my thumb as seen in the pic. The donor area was stiched with disolving stitch. How do I cover this scar with my usual hair cut. Should I be worry...has some hair fallen out in the area surrounding and will grow back??? What should I do? Help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Pat - Community Publisher Posted March 6, 2006 Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2006 Jwaves, After seeing your photo I can understand your concern and dissapointment. It appears that you are experiencing some shock fall out of your hair in and around your donor sutured area. Although relatively rare this can happen. But the good news is that your hair will normally regrow and this area will fill in up to and around the actual scar tissue. However, this regrowth may take several weeks. Have you spoken to your surgeon about this issue? And who was your surgeon? Pat Never Forget - It's what radiates from within, not from your skin, that really matters!

Regular Member jwaves Posted March 8, 2006 Author Regular Member Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi Pat, Thanks for your feedback. I saw the surgeon today and he said the same thing..due to shock loss (the skin pulling quite tight). So hopefully it should come back. I guess I was worried because it seem to be in one area only and I didn't get any donor hair lost previously. Also, A few people had commented on the irregular path of the scar...I guess this might be from having a few surgery (i've had 2 prior 500 graft sessions)? (ps. may need to erase this post as I have duplicated it in 'hair transplant experieces) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
