Thin Skin Patients

Hi Doc,
During hair transplant, are thin skin patients more prone to damage to dermis when incisions are made or is the thickness of epidermis layer same in everyone.

The epidermis is about the same size in everyone. Some people have large amounts of dermal and subdermal fat making their scalp appear thicker. With good surgical techniques, damage should not be a problem for those with “thinner” skin.
