Senior Member Sam23 Posted March 25, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted March 25, 2016 Hi Can you check the pic? After 8 months i still have small things under each root, they are smaller than before but they are still there, try to zoom it, they are less than size of acne but as they are so many they give an ugly effect, totally ruin my hair transplant Are those cobblstonning ?scars ? Or because of the thickness of the hair they look like this ? Is there any solution ? What i should do to remove them? If i remove the hair can the skin back smooth again They are so small there should be a solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted March 25, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted March 25, 2016 Sam, this can potentially be from the peripheral size of the grafts were just a tad bit larger than the size of the recipient sites. When the incisions heal, there can be a tendency for a slight tiny bump to form at the base of each graft. It is not cobblestoning. Some surface lasering may be able to smooth out the tiny bumps without destroying the imbedded follicles however you will probably lose the hair shafts in the process.

Senior Member Sam23 Posted March 25, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) I did not see him for a while, i will see him in the next 10 days, last time he said everyting is fine but you need time I hope you right and this is not cobblstonning, but what you describe is cobblstonning (receipient sites < graft size ) if laser resurface can help i will do it, right now as per my dermatologist i m using a cream for eczema (atopic dermititis) with moisture and ice pack pressure everyday it helps me to reduce the pinkness and itching also the sizes of those dots are smaller now and i notice also my hair is become fuller with this cream Edited March 25, 2016 by Sam23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Afronation Posted March 31, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted March 31, 2016 I think it's more like "tenting" than cobblestoning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sam23 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 1, 2016 After 8 months they become smaller than before, but still abnormal, I do not know if removing couple few hairs by laser or electrolysis to amend the hairline, those tiny things will go away or will remain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Gillenator, Sam is right. When a tiny bump appears around the recipient site, in particular because the graft was too large for the recipient site, this popping is referred to as cobblestoning. Whether or not this is what Sam is experiencing however, I'm not sure by the pictures, but by very description, I think we are talking about the same thing but just referring to it as two different things. Sam, if possible, I suggest visiting or surgeon in person so he or she can evaluate the area. Or perhaps if there is another respected surgeon closer by, you can consult with him or her instead. Best wishes, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Sam23 Posted April 1, 2016 Author Senior Member Share Posted April 1, 2016 Do you think can i bring a suit against the doctor because of this ? And let assume i remove the hair can this be resolved or no this is permenant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted April 1, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted April 1, 2016 Go through your surgery contract and the other forms that you signed because most doctors and clinics use "release of liability" disclosures and often state the results cannot be guaranteed.
