FUT missed closure

[ndnbc]

Hi,

 

I had an FUT on 12/22/2017 of approx 2600 grafts in the hair line from a IAHRS doctor. The clinic initially removed the sutures on 1/2/2018. There were some sutures missed and I returned for them to be removed the next day. I feel a hole/divet on the edge of the scar on the right side, and a peanut sized raised bump with a valley above it at the bottom of the scar. The raised bump/valley gives me the most concern. It is not bleeding and I am being sure to put zinc ointment to fight infection.

 

I know it is it too early to see the final results and scars take anywhere from 3 months to 3 life times to heal and "show final form" , but I am just looking for any other experiences of this resolving and flattening. The clinic says there is nothing to do now, and cutting and repairing the scar could make it worse.

I had my procedure in Nov of last year and had the same issues (bump+valley).It hasn’t totally faded, but around week 4 it began rapidly flattening. Hope that helps.

One of the reasons FUE is the way to go. I'm sure you'll be fine though.

Thanks Detour, Did you put anything on the bump? Vitamin E Oil, massage?

Picture of scar on closure. First one is of the "Valley over Bump" second is of "hole" at end of scar.

I just used the neosporin type stuff given to me by doc, but vitamin E oil can’t hurt it I don’t think. I would hold off on massaging anything for a few months. Let it mature/heal.
