Transplanting Hair into Skin Grafts?
Hi there
My problem is when I was 5yrs old I got burnt on the right side of my head just above the ear 6cm by 6cm. I had a skin graft done and no hair grew in that area. I was wondering if it’s possible to have fue treatment done to that area, and what the chances of susses are. Even if it is just to reduce the area in question.
Thanks
We routinely perform hair transplants on scars, but it would have to be a full thickness scar or one with a good underlying blood supply to it. Usually above the ear should be OK for a hair transplant, but first I would have to examine you. Hair transplantation is particularly a great way to disguise scars or if you are not a candidate for hair transplants, other surgical options may be a better choice.
