Taking Grafts From Side of Head for Small Scar Repair?
Hi, I was wondering, since my procedure only requires 50 grafts [scalp scar repair], do you think it would be okay for my doctor to make the incision to the side instead of in the middle of my scalp? Because I don’t want any scar to show when I have pig-tales or something. I forgot to ask this at my consoltation, although I doubt you would really be able to see it even if the incision was in the middle of my scalp, because the incision would be so small, and my doctor is using a trichophytic closure, so I doubt it would show anyways, but I just want to be on the safe side. Is the outcome any different if the incision is in the middle of the scalp or to the side?
Most people with a small number of grafts get an FUE harvest so that there will be no easily visible scar, no matter where the grafts come from. Alternatively, you could take the harvest with a strip from the sides, so that it could be parted in the middle without showing a scar. The FUE approach may be better. If you had your consultation here at NHI, please feel free to call 800-NEW-HAIR to schedule another consultation.
