Regular Member Goodvibes Posted August 14, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hi everyone ! I had a fue transplant 3300 graft to the front. And from my research seem that I have a some pitting where the hair are growing. It is now 3.5 months. Has anyone had the same issue? Did it minimize a bit with time as the skin renews and goes through cycles? I didn't even think this was a thing to worry about in the 21st century. They seem to be very hard to capture in a photo and can only be well seen in certain angle with bright light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member InterventionalPDoc Posted August 14, 2020 Regular Member Share Posted August 14, 2020 It definitely does improve with time but most importantly the surrounding hair growth eventually hides it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your reply. Are you speaking from experience ? You had the same issue ? How long did it take for you to resolve?

Senior Member Sam818 Posted August 14, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 14, 2020 There is no solution to surgical errors. Hopefully you get great growth in the next 6 months that will help camouflage the pitting you have. It doesn’t look too bad at all based on the pics you posted. Your only option is to remove the worst ones and implant more to hide the rest. There’s this misconception with hair restoration surgery that the most important steps are the extractions and/or the incisions and that graft placement is no big deal and techs can easily handle it. That’s not true at all. If the technicians don’t place the grafts at the proper depth you end up with issues like this. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But again like I stressed before it's the resultant density which significantly contributes in making it a non issue.

Senior Member aaron1234 Posted August 15, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted August 15, 2020 I had pitting from my first procedure. It did lessen with time, though some of the pitted grafts in my hairline had to be punched out since there was no way to camouflage them. 1 Dr. G: 1,000 grafts (FUT) 2008 Dr. Paul Shapiro: 2,348 grafts (FUT) 2009 ~ 1,999 grafts (FUT) 2011 ~ 300 grafts (Scar Reduction) 2013 Dr. Konior: 771 grafts (FUT) 2015 ~ 558 grafts (FUT) 2017 ~ 1,124 grafts (FUE) 2020 My Hair Transplant Journey with Shapiro Medical Group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valued Contributor Gatsby Posted August 15, 2020 Valued Contributor Share Posted August 15, 2020 Goodvibes who did the hair transplant? At only 3.5 months you have a lot of time and a lot of healing ahead of you. I have a lot of scars along my hairline, temples and in the donor area and they do improve over time. The hair that has been implanted will also help negate any concerns you have as it continues to grow in the future. I'm positive that the longer you wait the better the result will turn out and you won't be worrying about it!

I have some pitting remaining myself from a previous unethical surgeon and my new surgeon recommended Derma Rolling to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
