cornelius Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) I had two ht strip procedures done by H&W and I want to fill up the strip scar now. Anyone have any suggestions in the US or nearby? Edited October 5, 2023 by cornelius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know many clinics in usa but milena lardi in italy and prohairclinic in belgium do great smp work. I am sure if you ask Hasson and wong they will be able to give you some options.

Senior Member HairFunk Posted October 19, 2023 Senior Member Share Posted October 19, 2023 FUE into the scar does work wonders. Seen a few cases on here over the years, some are almost undetectable with short hair once grown. Though you may need to do 2 passes. I think your average ear to ear strip scar needs 200 - 300 grafts to improve the visual look. Hasson & Wong scars will likely require more as the strips they take are almost temple to temple. Do you have any photos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cornelius Posted October 21, 2023 Author Share Posted October 21, 2023 Those are great results Gatsby!!! Regardless, I do think people need to be informed that some people have excruciating pain during the procedure. The front and scar are 1/10 pain but sides of the crown are 10/10 pain.
