Repairing a Hair Transplant Strip Scar with FUE?
Do you ever do many follicular unit extraction (FUE) grafts in to strip scars? And if so, do you find that they turn out well?
Over half of our hair transplant patients with previous strip excision surgery ask to place grafts into the strip scar. We have had modest success with this, but it is best to test the strip scar with about 100 or so grafts before using more hair (and more money) to concealing a scar that may or may not result in hair growth.
All scars are different, some with excellent blood supply, some with poor blood supply. Best to test it first. Hope this helps!
