Frontal Recipient Site Necrosis

Necrosis is cell death in this case the result of probably the way the recipient sites were make. In over 16,000 hair transplant surgeries performed by our group, we have never seen a case of necrosis. The majority of times, this is a technical failure in the use of instruments combined with too much epinephrine in the anesthetic solutions used; however, there are diseases that can cause this which the surgeon must be aware of. This would will take about 2 months to heal with good surgical management. A scar will be left behind which can be transplanted.
