Will There Be Any Scars After Hair Transplant?

The possibility of scars after hair transplant is one of the biggest fears of people who will have hair transplantation. This is because while hairless or sparse areas are restored to their former appearance, the formation of a permanent scar will prevent aesthetic expectations from being met.

Will There Be Any Scars After Hair Transplant Operation?

Scars after hair transplant depends entirely on the preferred methods and the surgeon's experience performing the procedure. Standard hair transplant methods and their likelihood of causing scars are as follows:

Hair Transplant Method	Explanation of Scars After Hair Transplant
FUT Scars After Hair Transplant	In this method, grafts are taken from the patient's nape and scalp. Then, the incision is closed by stitching. Due to the stitching, a long, thin, distinct scar occurs in the nape area.
FUE Scars After Hair Transplant	Grafts are collected individually and no stitches are placed on the donor area after the procedure. Micro scars occur at the point where donors are taken. However, since these are so small, they are not noticeable from the outside. Even if the hair does not grow, it is almost impossible to notice these scars from the outside.
DHI Scars After Hair Transplant	It is a new-generation technique. Here, the grafts are collected one by one, just like in the FUE technique, and transplanted to the hairless area one by one. Therefore, there is no noticeable scar left in the DHI technique.

 

Causes of Scars After Hair Transplant

Scars after hair transplant occur due to the healing of the wounds caused by the removal of the grafts. The smaller the wounds, the more difficult it is to notice the scars from the outside. Thus, transaction success increases.
