fuereversal Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Hi, So, I'm freaking out at 2wks post op! For my first procedure, I had fut to the hairline which was placed far too low by the technician. It was TERRIBLE and too close to my eyebrows. To correct this I had them take out the offending grafts from the hairline using fue punch removal. 2 weeks into healing, All I can see are tiny holes all over my forehead! Make up cannot even hide it!! God please tell me I haven't ruined myself permanently. It basically looks like golf ball texture - i think its commonly referred to as 'pitting'. Now, I know its only been 2 weeks but, I am SO scared and anxious... The technician didnt inform me about the scars nor was I sure about their confidence with this procedure. Im sure a 0.8 - 1.0mm was used requiring no sutures. The holes closed up by day 3 or 4. But what i see now is a SHINY, GOLF BALL where the hairs used to be. I dont know whether to laugh, cry or shoot myself for possibly ruining my appearance. Will this heal to be a smooth surface without pits or is this pretty much it?! (Photo attached) Thanks.

Senior Member rev333 Posted November 16, 2016 Senior Member Share Posted November 16, 2016 Looks like these can be a bit "keloid-type" scars. Treatments are MANY so DO NOT FRET! Go on a few consults with high profile dermatology groups (probably big city) Take your time and see which one has the best plan to treat these. The plan will probably include a series of micro injections of kenalog and/or lasers Don't rush and try to find a quick fix. Remind yourself: THIS WILL BE RESOLVED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArochaHair Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 It is too early to tell but I can say this. It will get better. Just try to be patient and maybe consider applying an ointment such as polysporin to help with the healing. Online representative for Dr. Bernard Arocha Learn more about Hair Transplants in Texas!

fuereversal Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thankfully I don't suffer from keloids, so it shouldn't get any worse. I started using a topical corticosteroid (clobetasol propionate) to target any inflammation/swelling and try to make the area flatten/even out. I have no idea if this is what I should be doing at this stage, but Im going to trust my instincts to try the corticosteroid cream for 1 week, then stop and see if there's any improvement. Ive seen other people have the same reversal procedure but i dont think the scars were as bad. Hmph.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
