Fue White Scars in the Donor Area

In reference to this question about donor healing after FUE: https://baldingblog.com/2007/05/09/1-year-post-op-photo-of-fue-donor-area/

How often do you see patients who don’t have white spots from the FUE? I recently got a procedure done by a doctor that promised me no white scar formation, but all I’ve read online since then is that its inevitable to get white scars. Seeing this picture of your patient gave me hope. I have fair skin and coarse hair (I’m Asian). I’m hoping to hear good news.

Scarring is the result of two things: (1) the size of the instrument used and (2) the healing properties of your scalp. Clearly, the surgeon only has control of #1.
