Regular Member Goldilocks Posted July 30, 2010 Regular Member Share Posted July 30, 2010 I think I can identify a little bit with where you are coming from. Along my incision line, I have what I like to describe as a small "pocket" and when I press my finger on that area, I notice a small indentation. It has filled with puss before and has come and gone a few times so I had asked my hair transplant doctor about it. He explained that in my case, it was likely caused by the deep layer dissolvable suture knot or end that hadn't dissolved and is trying to make its way out. Interestingly, my "pocket" is above my left ear where the incision line ends, which is why my doctor was suggesting the sutures being the cause. He also said it will eventually resolve on its own. As for your "indent", I'm not sure if it will always be there or not.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Glenn Charles Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 When did you have your procedure? It can take several weeks to a few months in some cases before the donor area completly flattens out.

Senior Member Tom60 Posted September 13, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 13, 2010 I have never heard about this, but it seems that it is quite common. It doesn't seem that you are the only one! Best of luck. Keep us updated on what happens. I learned something new today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
