Will a Trichophytic Closure Still Leave a Noticeable Scar if My Hair Is Cut Short?
Would you generally advise transplanting hair to the temple area where no hair is currently there? I’m thinking this can maximize the chances of a fake look? Am I right?
I read about the trichophytic closure technique — if it only covers 1mm of scar area, then would that leave a NOTICEABLE average of 1-2 mm of scar area still visible if hair is cut short (2 with guard, that is)?
Yes, it may. Scarring is highly variable with different individuals. You can have a doctor with poor surgical skills perform a procedure without a trichophytic closure and still have a great 1mm scar. Or you can have the best surgeon using a trichophytic closure and have a wide noticeable scar. 1-2mm is considered a great scar and it may still be noticeable with a very short hair cut. A #2 guard may hide the 1 to 2mm scar, but this also depends on your hair color, scar color, scalp color, hair coarseness, hair waviness, etc. As you can see, there are many variables.
