I am considering 150-200 FUE into my FUT scar, but I'm worried about the resulting FUE scars and if they would make my situation worse. Right now I shave my head with a number 2 guard, however the area around my FUT scar I leave at a 4 guard. I'm hoping 200 FUE into my scar can let me shave to a number two all around without the strip being noticeable, or FUE dots..
      The FUE dots are noticeable if you look closely if you buzz your head and keep in my that the scar will always be there. If you're worried about FUE dots all over your head, there are places that do body to head FUE transplants. The clinic I went to does not do body to head so I probably will not go back to them again if I choose to do another FUE to scar (which I may consider again)

      My suggestion would be to have the scar trichophytic closure to decrease the size of the scar. Scars will be noticeable if you buzz with no clip like I did last year.

        Photos would be great to get a better understanding of what it looks like. My scar is approx. 30cm long and 2mm wide.

        I don't know if there is anything else to say about the progress. I kept my head shaven for a few months last year. My overall experience with buzzing my hair with no clip was fairly positive. I'm okay with being in public, at the gym, in the sauna or hot tub at the local rec center. Being in close gatherings with friends is my next hurdle which I plan on tackling this year. It hasn't been too hard at work as my job is fairly independent so I don't have a lot of co-workers. Only 2 times was I asked about the scar at work, I gave them a bullshit explanation of car accident and they seemed to buy it. Once I was out with family at a dinner and someone commented that they could see the scar however that family member knows I had the HT.

        I have since grown out my hair for the winter time and plan on buzzing it short again come April or May.

          Hair transplant on scars?

          Hi everyone! I have an old scar on my head and I want to try to cover it by FUE hair transplant. I was wondering if this kind of surgery can be covered by medical insurance. Does anyone from here used an medical insurance? Also if this is painful. I saw the case of a fire victim on the cover of the last publication of the international society of hair restoration https://ishrs.org/wp-content/uploads...01/F1-2019.pdf

          I was amazed how the doctors succeeded to restore the hair of a girl on burn scars and skin grafts

            Hi, did you contact this doctor? His work looks good. I have a scar close to my ear, my beard doesn't grow there anymore, but it doesn't really bother me as I got used to it. Didn't think about "filling" it till now , but as I am thinking of an HT, maybe I could fix this too.
