Senior Member ALEXD Posted May 28, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted May 28, 2013 Hello everybody, Below you can see the progress of a scar revision procedure by Dr.Maras who is the medical director of HDC hair transplant clinic and was supported by the rest of HDC's medical team. The patient had Strip procedures in the past elsewhere that left him with a big scar at the back and sides of his head that did not allow him to have a short hair style as his work demands being in the police force. The aim was to extract as many as possible scalp FUE grafts from his limited donor area and then as many more required from his chest to disguise the scar. * Finally 800 scalp grafts were extracted and 175 chest grafts. Another option for this patient was to use beard hair that usually are coarser than chest however the patient preferred to leave them as his last option. Dr Maras lately is been working a lot on beard hair expanding patient’s donor capabilities without scarring. The photos below present the scar area before, immediately after, 15 days after at 6 months and 7 months progress.

Senior Member Mickey85 Posted May 28, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted May 28, 2013 Good result considering the width of the scar. It is a shame that the patient had to use 800 precious scalp grafts on the scar rather than on his balding area. Good work.

Senior Member chrisdav Posted May 28, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted May 28, 2013 That is a shocking bad scar. Nice work. 2 poor unsatisfactory hair transplants performed in the UK. Based on vast research and meeting patients, I travelled to see Dr Feller in New York to get repaired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HARIRI Posted July 16, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 16, 2013 This is the best Scar Revision results via FUE I have ever seen so far in this forum. I wish one day HDC will post a scar revision via FUE with using only body hair such as Beard and Chest. It would be really great. Keep up the good work Alex.

Senior Member Mickey85 Posted July 16, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 16, 2013 FUE is a godsend for those who have stretched strip scars. Kudos to Dr Maras for taking on challenging cases.

Hi HARIRI, I am preparing to post a new case were we used only beard hair for disguising a Strip scar. I will post only photos of before and immediately after for the moment as it was performed recently. I will be updating the post with the progress.

Senior Member HARIRI Posted July 18, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) This is really great Alex, I would really love to see scars covered only with Beard and Chest hair as I'm really thinking of it one day. I know how much beard hair I have based on my interview with many doctors but I'm planning to keep it as an extra donor for my crown along with my existing remaining 4000 scalp donor grafts. How much chest hair do you think I have enough to cover my scar? Any approximates of how many grafts I can get from it? Can I get 500 grafts or only less? I assigned my chest hair for my scar only. Also did the 175 chest hair all yield with that patient?
