Repairing a Dent in the Scalp at the Hairline
I have a severe scar beginning at my ( receding ) hairline. It is a prominent scar, probably 1 1/2″x 1/2 inch. Obviously no hair grows there and I cannot completely cover it. The injury that caused the scar also took a little “tissue,” meaning there is a slight indentation.
My question is this: Is there a procedure where someone could “reconstruct” the damage? Perhaps by taking a mold of the scar, a piece could be made and have hair implanted. And if so, could this “piece” be safely adhered to my head? I am open to suggestion as well. Thanks.
It would be best for me to see what you look like by sending photos of your hairline and the scar (reference this page). Scars at or just behind the hairline are relatively easy to fix with hair transplants. Sometimes the scar can be partly excised as well (though unusual), but without seeing it you have tied my hands. I have repaired many frontal hairline scars.
