    Default Hoping to improve scar and hair loss from childhood

    Hi folks, hope you’re keeping well during these crazy times. A bit of background on myself - when I was a child I had a skin condition that made me scratch which included the top of my head leaving the centre top of my scalp scarred and with a bald patch. In my 20s i would have done anything to try and correct it and stupidly had an op which left me with a scar maybe 4/5 cms long and 1cm wide. I don’t think the op helped the top of my head at all. Because of this I can’t wear my hair any shorter than a grade 4. Ideally I’d like to cut down to a 1 or even 0. Now in my early 30s I’d like to do something about it. Apart from the original area at the top (which I can cover to a degree with the rest of my hair) I have decently thick hair. My main objective is to try and correct the scar but would potentially be interested in seeing if the same surgeon could help with the bald patch at the top.

    would FUE still be considered the best option out there? hesitant about SMP due to having to top it up again and again. I am living in Europe.

    Thanks for taking the time to read

    Fue is the best solution for scars. You will not need many grafts to cover the scar. I guess any doctor in Europe can help you.
