SMP Into Donor Scar - Arocha Hair Restoration

[ArochaHair]

This patient came to see Dr. Arocha about donor scar revision after he received a wide scar from an FUT procedure from another clinic. Dr. Arocha was not comfortable with a scar revision as the patient exhibited a tight donor scalp due to lower than average laxity. This means that the scalp was not loose enough to allow a large enough strip to be safely removed in order to revise the donor scar. FUE into the donor scar was considered but the patient decided that the tricopigmentation route was worth a try while he considered his options. FUE may still be attempted in the future so the two procedures can work together to enhance the overall result.

Thank you for your comment, HLS2015. No one said this situation was going to be solved with tricopigmentation, and the patient understood and accepted this reality. I think that it is safe to say the tricopigmentation helped immensely and what was an obvious looking scar in the past now is no longer quite so obvious. The patient sees his situation this way as well.
