    Question Shock loss, or permanently screwed?

    Hi everyone. So I had FUT in February and I'm a bit over 3.5 months post-op. I have a trichophytically closed scar that has apparently "stretched" in spots according to the doctor. I knew stretching could happen, but considering I have very thick, tight collagen-rich skin (including a tight scalp), I was surprised it happened with me. Perhaps that's my fault, though the scar was looking thin a few weeks post-op.

    I was hoping these bald areas along the scar would be temporary, as in shock loss that would eventually fill in with hair.

    My doctor was pretty straight forward in their pessimism that it'll fill in. They weren't sure either way and said I'd have to wait, but seemed to doubt there'd be any filling-in of hair along the scar from here on out.

    What do you think? The hair is shaved down to a 3 guard in these photos. Any chance some hair fills in or am I suck with this wide line of hairlessness permanently?

    Thanks.
