needrepair Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Hello, I have a rather large scar from a previous procedure. Has anyone else had hair transplanted into the old scar? Any pictures? I was told because my scar is so low on the back of my head, it would probably re-scar if excised. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member HairBeThere Posted October 9, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted October 9, 2004 there are quite a few people that do this. Look into doing FUE. And find a qualified and experianced Dr. who has experiance in doing scar repair with FUE. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member gillenator Posted October 13, 2004 Senior Member Share Posted October 13, 2004 Hi Needrepair, Are you having FUE/FIT extractions done for your hairline repair? There has been some significant success with this regarding the thinning of plugs, removing badly angled hairs, mini-grafts, etc. With an experienced FUE/FIT surgeon, there is more potential for less visible scarring which is especially important in a high visual impact area.

Regular Member onebaldman Posted October 18, 2004 Regular Member Share Posted October 18, 2004 I think you should seriously wait. Body hair into the scar is THE option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
