Senior Member Dr Tejinder Bhatti Posted December 30, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 30, 2012 There are good FUT scars and there are bad ones. Bad scars can be repaired only through FUE since usually the cause is a tight scalp resulting from too much skin having been excised; when the surgeon has not optimally assessed the tensile characteristics of the skin of the client. When scars occur, clients like this recent one get perturbed and opt for disguising the scar which is possible only through FUE. This present patient came for FUE for the hairline and opted for scar revision through FUE as well. Follow up pictures shall be posted after 5 months of the procedure.

Senior Member StaggerLee123 Posted December 30, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 30, 2012 How many grafts were used for this Dr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Dr Tejinder Bhatti Posted December 30, 2012 Author Senior Member Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hi, I used 275 grafts. I could have packed the scar densely but this was discussed with the client and he wanted more grafts for his frontal hairline which was rather sparse.

Senior Member TakingThePlunge Posted December 30, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 30, 2012 Thanks Dr. Bhatti! I'm looking forward to seeing the final result.

Senior Member Blake Bloxham Posted December 30, 2012 Senior Member Share Posted December 30, 2012 Scar revision is tough. In my mind, there are several options: one is FUE into the existing FUT scar, another is a second FUT excision with better closure, and a third is SMP into the scar tissue. Each has its potential downfalls, but all can likely improve the overall original post-operative scar.

Senior Member JohnCasper Posted December 22, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted December 22, 2018 Hope the grafts were helpful. I just hate to see folks spending good money on repairing the results of FUT scars. Hope it was successful.

Senior Member densedream Posted December 24, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) I had FUE into my FUE scar. This is the first time I have seen it in 3 years since my head was shaved for another FUE. Not that impressed but it's no big deal because I cant have a short haircut anyways bc my donor is tapped out from FUE scars as you can see. But the beard grafts to grow just maybe not enough in the sides. Edited December 24, 2018 by densedream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Dhyan Posted December 24, 2018 Regular Member Share Posted December 24, 2018 Hi densedream , Just curious to know ..how wide in (mm) was your scar and how many grafts were used ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member densedream Posted December 27, 2018 Senior Member Share Posted December 27, 2018 I don't know on both questions. The back part of the scar is better than the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Obaid6727, Both myself and Dr Bhatti have tried to contact the patient but unfortunately the email we have for him just bounces back. The procedure was 7 years ago so I would guess like many past patients he's put his hair issues to bed and moved on with his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
