Scar Repair of Donor Area
Can you point me to information about the new surgical techniques you reference? I was under the impression FUE was the primary repair technique for widened donor scars.
This is the response I wrote to another blog question…
We have developed a fascial closure of the donor wound. This has been successful in reducing the scars in the donor area. I imbricate the deep fascia holding it in place with a Vicryl suture (which lasts about 6 weeks). With the fascial closure, the tension on the skin in markedly reduced and most scars will heal with less stretching of the scar. This does not deal with the individual differences between the way we heal, but so far, the results of these repairs have been most impressive.
