i underwent a couple of strip transplants and i got slit marks and mild pitting in some sections of the recipient area including part of the hairline. a surgeon told me about microdermabrasion or dermabrasion (laser or mechanical), the pitting on my head is not so severe and i don’t think that a FUE extraction of my pitted monofollicular is the logical thingh to do. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
thanks.
Get a second opinion? I cannot help you without seeing the results and examining you in person. Mild pitting can be an unfortunate consequence of such surgery, especially if the grafts sites are too big or too much skin was transplanted with the hair grafts. I have heard other doctors describing microdermabrasion/dermabrasion to correct such problem, but these techniques may remove pigment from the skin that is worked on. This means that you may end up with a shine on the skin and some skin discoloration, which may look even worse.
