5 Weeks After My Hair Transplant, I Think My Scar Is Going to Be Too Obvious

Hi,

I had 3050 grafts taken from my donor hair to create a hairline and add density to frontal area. so far so good, but 5 weeks after surgery and my first hair cut ( just blending in etc ) i have noticed that the donor hair area does not match up and its very obvious that i have had a procedure! now im worried that too many grafts were taken from certain areas at the back and It looks like Im going to have a constant “horse-shoe” shape on the back of my head! please tell me this is normal and it will grow and blend in to the rest of my hair

Your doctor should have described what your scar will look like and how wide it may be. Many doctors and patients forget to address the potential scarring from hair transplant surgery. Some believe that only a strip procedure can leave a visible scar, but even a 3000 FUE surgery will leave a significant series of scars (3000+ dots).

It’s also possible that perhaps you just got your hair cut too short, and that is why your scar is visible.

This may very well be a folliculitis with infection present. There are many of them and they probably need to be treated. I would have to examine you to be sure but you should go back and see your doctor

This is a young man getting early growth from finasteride on the hairline. Persistence will guarantee the results. The picture on the right shows early miniaturization while the picture on the left is highly suggestive of early reversal of the miniaturization

This is a terrific result from the use of minoxidil and finasteride after 5 months of use. This man restored his hairline on medication alone
