Paul J. McAndrews, M.D. Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 Yes, you can transplant successfully into any area of scarring alopecia (surgical scars and disease-related scarring). However I would want the disease process that is causing the scarring alopecia to be quiescent for at least 2 years before transplanting. Sincerely, Paul J.
