Transplanting Into Scalp Scars
i have an unsightly scar on the side of my head approximately 4 inches long and 1/4 inch wide. is there anyway of repairing this? i tend to wear my hair short and i am fairly conscious about it.
Scars of the scalp can be difficult to deal with. I am assuming that the scar you are talking about is not related to a hair transplant. The management of scars is not well understood by many doctors because they generally do not look at the hair solutions that are, at times, critical in the final repair of the scars. Neurosurgery scars, accident scars, burn scars and the like require specialized knowledge of the scalp’s ability to heal in the area treated and the direction and location of the scar determine much of the outcome. Many scalp scars may have come with good medical care, so one has to think differently about scalp scars: what will make the next treatment better than the last one?
Send me a photo (preferably digital) and be sure that the scar location is clearly shown. Your confidentiality will be assured. My email address is on the Contact page.
Doctor, thank you for answering my inquiry. I will try to get a picture
to you. The scar was due to a cut that did require sutures, and was attended to by a plastic surgeon.
My additional question: Follicular Unit Extraction Megasession.
Is this an option? I understand that is does leave scarring, but one
that is less detectable than a linear scar.
I truly appreciate your help in having me come to a conclusion about this.
All the best.

I HAVE SUSTAINED AT LEAST 4 SCARS TO THE BACK OF MY HEAD, ONE SCAR IS ABOUT 2 INCHES LONG 1/2 INCH THICK. I HAVE BEEN VERY PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY AFFECTED BY THIS. BUT MY QUESTION IS ABOUT A TINGLING SENSATION I HAVE ABOVE MY MOST PROFOUND SCAR. ITS VERY IRRITATING AT TIMES AND IT FEELS AS IF I’M LOOSING MY HAIR. IT BECOMES MORE DISTURBING WHEN I SMOKE POT. COULD I BE LOSING MY HAIR? AND COULD THIS BE A RESULT OF MY INJURIES, OR MY SMOKING? PLEASE CONTACT, I REALLY DO NEED ADVICE FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS.
