Non-Transplant Scar On Head — Will Hair Regrow There?

I have a dime sized scar on the back of my head where I busted it and didn’t get staples. Will hair ever grow there? If I were to consider surgery, how many hair follicles would be needed to cover that area, and what would the cost of the transplant be? Are there any hair growth alternative to surgery that work on scars? thank you for your time.

If it is a recent injury and it was not a separated gash on your head, your hair may grow back. But if it has been many months to a year (or even more) and you still do not see hair growth or if it was an open wound that was not sutured or stapled, chances are that hair will not grow there. At that point, your choices are:

1. Leave it alone. It builds character. (I hate it when others say that to me)
2. Scar reduction surgery. (You’ll have a smaller scar and the surgery may just take a few minutes)
3. Hair transplant surgery. (Transplanted hair will grow on a scar but this may be overkill for a dime size scar)
