When Will My Donor Scar Not Be Visible?
I have had a recent HT in Nov 2007 and now having problems with haircuts. I have tried a number 2 shear and number 3 shear haircut with both showing the donor area scar for weeks. I was told that a number 2 was fine but obviously not. How long will this donor scar be visible for males that like to wear their hair shorter.
I do not know how wide your scar is or where your donor scar is. You may have a wider than average scar. You may or may not be a candidate for a scar revision surgery if the scar is wide. You may have temporary telogen effluvium on your donor area that may make the scar more visible and if that is the case, it should reverse in 4-6 months. There are many variables that I cannot readily answer without examining you. You can send me photos of your scar with a ruler next to it so that I can appreciate the degree of scar widening (please reference this post when sending). You should see your surgeon who performed the hair transplant surgery and discuss your concerns with him/her.
