scar after second HT

[Take a chance]

How does the scar situation work with your second hair transplant procedure? Do you now have two scars or do they somehow join them into one?

Im now at 11 months post and doing scalp exercises for next ht. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

They take out the old scar with the new strip.

To clarify they will be harvesting hair above and below the old scar.

Thanks Sparky

 

After emailing my Doc he said The scar is a concern whether you should go with the same scar or new scar.

 

Any idea what he could mean?

He may think there is reason to believe if he uses the same scar it may stretch? That's my guess.

[Sparky]

I think almost everyone on here would tell you to take out the old scar, so you still only have one scar after, whos your surgeon?

Not every doctor takes out the old scar going into the new one , as seen recently with some people having multiple scars at the back.

i know they all dont but they should

Take a chance,

 

How wide is your previous scar? Perhaps the doctor is concerned that they won't be able to get the required amount of grafts and remove the old scar due to laxity issues.

 

If I was you, I would email the doctor back and ask them for the exact reason of their concern.

Thanks for all the replies. My previous procedure was quite large over 4000 grafts. I will email Doc and let you know what he says.
