FUE scars getting worse?

[Fueforme333]

Has anyone had FUE scars that got worse with time?

 

I feel like after 5 months, my FUE scars are now becoming hypopigmented. Before, the skin was normal color, and now they've become whiter than the surrounding areas.

 

Will they get better with time?

 

Thanks

You must be wearing your hair extremely short if this is an issue. Pics? I've had 4000 fue grafts taken out and even on close examination you can't see anything.

All of my scars like, ever, have become white.

They probably still had some lingering red/pinkness that was making them blend in with your skin better beforehand.

White scars are not hypo pigmented...they are simply scar tissue that developed when the extraction sites healed up...they lack blood flow and why they look that way.

At only 5 months, that wouldn't concern me honestly. You are still healing and you could have experienced a bit of shock loss to the surrounding hairs. It's better to wait a full year before evaluating the donor and the recipient areas - aka the final result.

Hypopigmentation refers to a loss of pigment in the skin. Since you are dealing with scar tissue, which is different from skin and has no pigment by nature, there is no Hypopigmentation.

Everyone says this but how on earth can the donor area take 1 year to heal cosmetically.is their any patience review threads you can link that show shockloss that has recovered past month 6

It's probably a little early to fully evaluate, but I wanna make sure that you're not getting any sun exposure on your scalp. Most people understand this with the recipient area, but keeping the donor area out of sunlight is crucial in the prevention of noticeable scars. The sun and wounds don't go well together. Not sure how short you're keeping the donor area (the longer your hair is the less of an issue this would be) but it's something to consider.

The reason it takes longer for the scars to heal is because the extractions go deep into the dermis layer of the scalp and are not superficial, meaning, just on the surface layer.

 

Give it time, they should improve in both size and appearance.
