FUE Procedure to Fill In Scar from FUT?

Doc: For those of us who prefer to wear our hair very short and are concerned about a visible scar left behind by FUT, is it possible to receive a FUT procedure followed by a FUE procedure to fill in the FUT scar? If so, how much time must pass before performing the FUE? Have there been positive results? Thanks.

Yes, that is one way to treat the widened donor scars and the results are usually good. You should allow at least 8-12 months so the donor scar can complete its maturation before any intervention. Some patients may need more than one session for this type of procedure and it has to do with the location of the scar and the quality of patient’s hair.
