This is in response to My Hair Transplant Made My Skin Cobblestoned!
So, Selective removal of the grafts via FUE is not an option to reduce the cobble stoning? I too have this issue, and I only Have a few hundred grafts, not all of them are cobble stoning, maybe a total of 200 are cobblestone. I know FUE leaves a small scar, but would the removal of 2-300 grafts over my entire scalp really be that noticeable? Why do you say more hair transplantation is the only option?
Follicular unit extraction (FUE) is done with very small punches where a follicular unit is removed one at a time. Cobblestoning is a whitish scar with no hair in it. If you want these white scars punched out, then they will form new white scars, i.e. no gain. Removing the entire larger graft with the cobblestoned skin is the only real way to do this, and the scar that may be formed will probably be less detectable than the cobbled area. Depending upon the location of the cobblestoned area, camouflaging it with a hair transplant may be needed.
This is a very difficult question to answer without seeing just what you are concerned about. Please send me photos and I can be more pointed in my answer to you.
