I Tend to Form Keloids — Will FUE Give Me Problems?

hello doctor,
my skin has a tendency to form keloids. i’m considering of having FUE on my frontal hairline. I know that keloid will probably grow on the donating area, but is there any possibility at all that it will form on the recepient area? Your answer is very important to whether I’ll have the procedure or not.

Thank you.

Keloids in the frontal area are extremely rare. In fact, I do not recall ever seeing a case or even hearing from the medical community about this complication. Although an unscientific study, hundreds of doctors were polled some years ago in an audience setting and the results were that not one hand was raised asking about keloids in the frontal hairline. With that said, I would do a few test grafts and wait 6 months or so before undergoing a hair transplant. Better to be safe than sorry.
