Hair transplant scar repair

Hair transplant scar repair clinic and specialist in Lahore Pakistan where one can fix previous procedure scar in the donor area. Scarring After a hair restoration is an inevitable occurrence. It occurs both in follicular unit extraction FUE and follicular unit transplant FUT procedures but the shape and degree of it contrast in both cases. It also relies on age, some disease conditions, and a few races. Post-surgical disfigurement is noticeable in both donor and recipient areas. Making an incision in any part of the body results in damage of the skin layers and starts the repair process which ends in a collagenous deposition within the skin giving rise to a cicatricial tissue. It may compromise the blood supply of that area which leads to stunted growth of hair in that area. It can be of different types which may be hypertrophic which is extremely thick so blood supply could also be compromised there, atrophic which is very thin so it can not bear follicles and keloid due to excessive deposition of collagen. Some people are susceptible to keloid. You should tell your surgeon about it before surgery.

How to correct this scarring has been a serious concern for patients and surgeons for the past few decades. But now with the advancement and modernization of technologies, there is more than one way which can help in repairing. 

Scarring in Different Transplant 

Follicular Unit Transplant

In this method, a strip of skin from the back of your scalp is removed and grafted into the recipient’s hairless area. The donor area is sutured with stitches. This leaves behind a noticeable linear strip mark.

Follicular Unit Extraction

Following this method, the surgeon removes individual follicles which are reimplanted in the recipient area. Pinpoint round dot formation occurs in the area from where the follicles were extracted. No stitches are placed so this procedure leaves fewer marks.

How to correct hair transplant surgery scar 

The lesion can not be removed however it can be corrected by any of the following options depending upon the patient’s condition:

GRAFT FOLLICLES FOR FUT 

First, the scalp is shaved off and the FUE procedure is employed to graft the follicles into and around the defect of the FUT transplant. Follicles are placed after making a punch hole. Scarring due to punch can be concealed by moderate hair growth covering it. The growth and survival rate of this area are much slower as compared to healthy skin. If the disfigured area is raised then the surrounding area corticosteroids are injected to flatten it.

DONOR RECHARGING

This method uses the donor body’s hair and plugs them in and around the defective tissue. Although body hair has a different texture than scalp hair they have proved to be a good substitute for scalp hair and also for adding density.

SCALP MICROPIGMENTATION

It is a nonsurgical method in which pinpoint tattoo marks are used to cover the entire cicatricial tissue. Ink is injected into the cicatricial tissue in the sort of small dots.

LASER TREATMENT

Laser treatment uses phototherapy to destroy the outer layer of skin. This in turn stimulates the growth of new cells and covers the damaged area. It does not eliminate the flaw.

SCAR REVISION SURGERY

In the past, patients looking to correct their strip surgery defect had to undergo this revision surgery. This involved ablating out the defected tissue and stapling the wound again. However, it may lead to more defacement.

Even after the above-mentioned procedure, 100 percent removal is not possible but the defect can become so minimal that is not grossly visible anymore. If the scar tissue is due to some underlying condition such as cicatricial alopecia we have to treat the disease.
