How Long After a Transplant Can I Have a Scar Revision?

Hi Dr. Rassman,
How long after a strip procedure can I have a scar revision done? I need one. This last procedure didn’t fare too well and I cannot hide it. Thanks for your help.

Of course, your doctor should make that decision. I generally like to wait a minimum of 4-6 months to fix a scar. Also, you might ask the doctor if he/she knows why your scar is wide. Was the wound under tension? What type of closure was used for the surgical wound? I would also want to know if you have had scar problems elsewhere on your body and the number of hair transplant procedures you had.
