Senior Member irishsailor Posted September 1, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted September 1, 2013 Ok, as the title says does anyone know roughly what percentage people are getting from placing into strip scars? I appreciate every case is different but was just looking for a rough guide.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I tell my patients to expect about 50% but that grafting into a scar is very unpredictable and it could be lower. If we get better than that which I have in some cases it is a bonus for the patient.

Dr. Glenn Charles Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 This is also why I do not over pack the scar area with grafts and let patients know they will likely need multiple procedures before the results will be satisfactory.
