I Had a Hair Transplant with Trichophytic Closure Technique — What Does My Scar Show?

Dr. Rasmann

I want to thank you for all the information you provide on here to help educate everybody looking into a H.T.

I recently had a procedure using the trychophytic closure technique. I am 10 days out and the staples have just been removed. Is what I am seeing in the donor the hair that will permanently not grow? or is this just a result of the donor area being shaved and the hair still having to grow in. thanks in advance

Having a trichophytic closure technique used is not a guarantee you will have a nice, thin and neat scar. The photo isn’t clear and I can not tell what is shaved from what might be an early stretch of the scar. You will have to wait it out.

If you have a visible scar after 5-6 months, it can be successfully covered with Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP). This is a great option and we have a photo gallery of examples here.
