Regular Member ny116 Posted June 17, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hey guys, I've had 2 FUT hair transplant surgeries in the past. My last FUT surgery was on January 3, 2012. The scar from the first strip procedure was tolerable but now my scar is more noticeable and has been causing me to worry that people can spot it. I'd like to fill in the scar by having an FUE procedure done to hide the scar. Does anyone know how many months I should wait to have this procedure done? All feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks, UY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member aaron1234 Posted June 17, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted June 17, 2012 I'd wait as long as possible to let it fully heal. Some doctors may FUE into the scar as soon as 9-10 months post-op. Have you considered a scar revision? That may be more effective.

Senior Member Bucksred Posted June 17, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted June 17, 2012 Ny116, I would suggest maybe asking Dr Lindsey this question, maybe send him your photos. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
