How Long Do I Need to Wait After Surgery to Repair Strip Scar with FUE?

Dr. Rassman

Congratulations once again on a great blog that is truly informative and of great help to the hairloss community. My question revolves around FUE into scar.

On past blogs I know you mentioned that you like to wait at least 5-6 months to do a scar repair… but if I understood your reply correctly I think you were referring to a tryclosure revision.

I recently got a HT (2400 grafts) and part of my scar got a bit infected. One side came out perfect with no problems and the other one not so much. Luckly the infection wasn’t necrosis or anything too serious but I have experience shockloss around it and was wondering how long do you recommend before I or anybody can do a small FUE session into the scar. I seriously refuse to go the strip route ever again even for a repair. BTW, I’m only about a 1.5 months out of the surgery (which was closed using tryclosure technique) and this was my 2nd HT. I know it’s too early to panic on the healing of the scar but wanted to know a timeframe as to when is the earliest I can act to correct this if need be.

Thanks to you and your staff once again for taking he time to answer our questions.

It takes about 6 months for any scar to heal relatively fully, thus I recommend waiting out that 6 month time frame.
