Revising a Scalp Reduction
I had a scalp reduction and two hair transplants. I would like to see some before and after photos of a revised donor scar.
Scalp reduction repairs vary widely because of the types of incisions that was used, the number of surgical procedures that you had (I am assuming only one by the question you asked), and the damage to the underlying scalp. When a person has had many scalp reduction procedures, they often develop a deformity called a ‘Slot Deformity’ (see this article by Dr. Patrick Frechet) where the hair from the sides grow away from the scar and when this meets the hair in the back that point downward to the floor, a slot is created that looks most unnatural. You need to be evaluated in person. If you come to my Los Angeles office, I can lead you through the many types of repairs you need to know about. Alternatively, if you are not near either one of our California offices, let me know where you are, or send good photos to me (via mail or email) and I can try to address the question more appropriately over the distance.
