Can I Have a Hair Transplant Into a Scalp Scar I’ve Had Since I Was a Kid?
I have a large scar from a head surgery from when I was young. Hair does not grow there, and it looks very bad with my hairstyles.
I am currently 18. Would I be a good candidate for hair transplantation onto the scar, especially as regards to shock loss?
Maybe, but I can’t really say without an exam. You should see a hair transplant doctor for a better idea.
At NHI, we routinely perform surgeries to cover scalp scars as long as realistic expectations are understood. In other words, each case is different.
