This hair loss question was answered by Dr. Glenn Charles of Florida who is a member of the Coalition of Independent Hair Restoration Physicians. His professional answer is below.
My hair transplant scar is on the wider side, 3-4mm and is pretty easy to see unless hair is combed the right way. The scar did not stretch, and I did not feel any tension after the operation, but the scar is still wide. When I run my finger over the scar, it feels like the scar is “thinner” that the surrounding skin – like there is a impression or ridge in the middle of the scar. I am trying to figure out why I got such a poor scar. This was a trichophytic scar from one of the best hair restoration doctors. The only scars I have seen that are worse from a virgin scalp are stretched scars. Mine was always wide. At first it was red, and then when redness faded, now white. No trichophytic hair growing within.
Dr. Glenn Charles, D.O.
