Regular Member Miami Posted September 18, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted September 18, 2003 Has anyone had experiences, ideas or success with repairing the scar in their donor area using grafts? I have heard of new methods where FI or FUE is used to implant individual hairs into the scar to cover it though there is very little information available on the internet. There are a few photos of the operation but little documentation on success or failure of those procedures. I have heard that this process has a high failure rate in regrowth, but It seems like there are many people who could benefit from this even if they have to implant twice the amount of grafts for success. This post is in regards to any type of scar (thin or thick) since IMO a scar is a scar and no one should have to live with one unless they have to.

Regular Member trying2moveahead Posted September 18, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted September 18, 2003 I had a few implanted into a scar behind my ear a month and a half ago. Time will tell in mine, but I've heard some doctors claim that FU's in scars grow poorly or not at all, while others claim they grow exceptionally well there. trying2moveahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
