jimmy22 Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Hello, im new here. About 15 years ago I had a hair transplant and pitting occured. I read that new transplant can help. My question is: is pitting only a consequence of hair too deep into the skin or could it be something some people have a tendency to present? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member shiba1985 Posted December 11, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted December 11, 2022 It is more a result of poor surgical technique, grafts being placed too deep, then anything to do with a patient. As far as I am aware. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted December 11, 2022 Administrators Share Posted December 11, 2022 Pitting occurs by creating sites too deep for the grafts. When it heals it causes pitting. If you choose a good surgeon you shouldn’t have pitting. https://hairtransplantnetwork.com/hair-transplant-complications-what-are-they-and-how-avoid-them 1 I’m a paid admin for Hair Transplant Network.

jimmy22 Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 Thank you so much for all your answers and links to resources. Does anybody here have experience with pitting restoration with a second transplant? A doctor offered to remove the transplanted follicules and use dermoabrasion to even the skin out. At this point, im so tired and depressed that i wouldnt mind having a receding hairline without the pitting scars. Just want to feel normal, you know? But if there is a big chance of correcting it, i would prefer it. Do u guys know if it is worth it, based on similar cases? Thank u. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
