Implantation of follicles during closure procedure.

[mmhce]

Is it standard procedure, or is it possible to implant follicles into the trichophytic closure during the closure procedure so as to greater conceal the scar?

Hey Mmhce,

 

As the scar is not formed until the wound has healed where would they put grafts?

 

The only place I could think is around the wound area, not having much benifit or right on the edge of the cuts - which I can't see happening and I don't think would very beneficial either.

 

Edit:

 

Or after closure, placing grafts between the cut skin? I don't think they would do that either for all kinds of reasons.

before the tricophytic closure technique people would do that, putting the grafts in the scar at the end of the day. However, I do not see any use of those extra grafts in scar. I wonder if they would help more. But certainly that was a practise in some isolated cases.

Interesting, does anyone have anymore info on this? and maybe some photos of the mature scars after recieve grafts during closure.
