I Have a One Inch Wide Scar from Hair Transplants

I have a one inch wide scar from hair transplants. What can I do to treat this scar? Can you help me?

There are genetic conditions that make some people prone to scar stretching. Diseases like Marfan syndrome and the worst of them all, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, produce wound healing problems. “Ehlers-Danlos syndrome is a group of rare genetic disorders caused by a defect in collagen synthesis. Depending on the individual mutation, the severity of the disease can vary from mild to life-threatening. There is no known cure. Treatment is supportive. produce hypermobility of joints and may also be symptomatic of a serious medical condition that can impact the blood vessels of the body.” (source: Wikipedia)

The most severe of the conditions that stretch the skin has an incidence of 1 in 10,000 people. But everyone is not either black or white on the stretching scale. Some have less stretch than the most extreme cases, but more than the normal patient. With a 1 inch size scar, I would think that your scar could be caused by genetic factors, and if so, there is no surgeon who can make it better and you run the risk of making it even worse. The risk of worsening of a one inch scar is about 1:10,000 people, but in your case, I suspect that you may have some healing problem that could put you at a higher risk for scar stretching. The other factors that may have caused the stretch include the number of surgeries and the techniques that contributed to the scars that are now plaguing you. Without examining you, I can not be sure. Actually, even with examining you, there will be risks on the genetic side that I will not be able to anticipate.
