| Q: What's the best way to camouflage a scar left behind from a scalp reduction that I had in 2001? I am currently wearing DermMatch to cover the area, but the hair parts like the "Red Sea" on top around the scar so the makeup does not look so good. I would like to fill in the area with hair but I am not sure if a hair transplant will grow into scar tissue. A: Hair will grow in the scar but, as you allude to, the problem is often the abnormal hair direction rather than the scar itself. Besides adding hair to the scar, if one transplants hair adjacent to the scar in a direction that causes it to lie over the scarred area, the visual affect of the "Red Sea" effect can be lessened.

| Q: After which procedure do you generally see more of a change, after the first or the second? A: It depends upon how bald the person is. If someone is very bald, the first session will be the most noticeable, since going from "no hair to hair" is much more dramatic than going from some hair to more hair. In addition, if someone is very bald, the first session is generally the largest, with less hair being transplanted in the second. See the Hair Transplant section of the blog |
