Typical Donor Wound Scar (with Photo)
Can you show me a typical donor wound scar?
Here’s a photo of a typical donor wound scar after a single surgery in a person who heals normally. The scar measures 1mm (in the ruler, each line is 1/2mm). He came in for a second surgery this week and I am hoping that the scar from this week’s procedure will turn out as well today as it did before. The risk of significant scarring (greater than 3mm) is 5% for the first surgery, 10% for the second surgery, and higher still for a third surgery. Usually the combed hair in the back will cover most scars.
I apologize that the photo isn’t perfectly focused, but the scar still shows well here. Click to enlarge.
Looks great. What does the donor area for an FUE procedure look like when healed?
