Big Scar After 3rd Hair Transplant Procedure — I Want to Hide This!

I’ve had a 3rd FUT HT procedure almost 4 months ago. A gross infection followed and split skin graft was needed to close the donor area which was about a 6 1/2 inches long and 1 1/2 inches wide. The skin graft is 2 months old and has contracted to 3/4 of an inch. Once the skin graft is healed can FUE help to hide the scar. Scar is also depressed about 3 mm.

I’m very demoralized and looking for help.

Thank you.

You should discuss this with your doctor and/or seek another opinion. Unfortunately, I do not have the luxury of a formal physical exam with you via the internet. Generally, there are options available to you which may include hair transplants around the area or scar reduction (often best used with balloon expanders if the scar is as wide as you claim), etc. Balding Blog is not a good avenue to seek a second opinion.

My offices are in California, but as you are on the east coast, I can recommend Dr. Robert Bernstein in NY. If you can make it out to California, I’d be glad to provide you with a private consultation.
