Mr. Rolandas is very pale and the dots are still visible. It depends on physiology. Some people just heal better. Is it possible with fue to keloid/hypertrophic?

Regular Member SteveUrkel02 Posted September 19, 2022 Author Regular Member Share Posted September 19, 2022 Update: I feel like it has not changed. I kind of suspect that it could be permanent/or will stay longer than expected. Maybe I have some ‘pigment disorder’ which makes me discolor when skin gets ‘damaged’. I will give it more time since it doesn’t bother me that much. If it is not getting better I will ask Dr Mwamba if I can treat it with laser down the road. But right now I do not want to intervene with the healing and growth process on my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted September 19, 2022 Administrators Share Posted September 19, 2022 @Rolandas this was the thread I was trying to find in our live. @SteveUrkel02 it looks lighter, so that’s encouraging. How many grafts did you get removed. I’ve zoomed in and tried to find any extractions and can’t find them. I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

Senior Member Vann Posted September 19, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted September 19, 2022 I cant believe your post op donor. I also am laughing at reading the comments and melvins responses. I can completely see why. By any chance you were outside much after your surgery? It could be some bruising in combination with your skin fighting the sun rays. I think it fades slowly over time but could be some sort of reaction?

I was even trying not to be outside for a long time , especially in sunlight. It has definitely got to do with the sunlight imo. I feel really really good about the fact that my dots are not really visible since I love to keep my donor very short or even shaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know when you first noticed it? I read it could take up to 3-4 months to become less noticeable. I am not sure if that its true or just internet things. But since your surgeon sounded pretty confident that it will fade away. I think only time will tell. Overall, it is just a small cog in the final work.

It only lasted about a month. But it was a lot smaller than yours. So who knows?
