Revising a Donor Scar with a Tight Scalp?
I have hair transplant done 2 years ago about 2000 grafts, however I have a donor scar that runs from ear to ear and wider than 1 cm since the skin got constantly pulled. My head skin is very tight,so i am wondering what can I do to fix this ? I want to cut my hair short in the back. Should I transplant hair from other part back to the donor area or any other solutions?
thanks.
You should start doing scalp exercises (see video) and then try to get a surgeon to perform a scar revision surgery with new techniques that are available today. These do not always work, because your body has a new baseline after you have a surgery. You can also try transplanting hair to the scar using the FUE technique, which will work if a revision of the scar does not work. None of these methods are perfect, but they can minimize the look of the scarring. You need to see a doctor to discuss these options for your specific needs and expectations.
