argh Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Can you use FUE transplanted onto a donor scar (which was created through strip excision) to hide the donor scar? Will it actually grow in the scar area? I had a doctor mention that it is possible, but I just wanted to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francis Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 I had transplants placed in an old scar that was about an inch long and about a quarter inch wide. They took, and came in at around a year. You can not tell that there was a scar there before. So my guess is that placing FUEs into a scar would work at least for me, but then everyone's scalp and blood supply to the scarred area is different. Just my opinion.

Senior Member EastCoast Posted February 10, 2003 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 10, 2003 Francis, My scar is about the same. How long after surgery did you wait to get scar hit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member EastCoast Posted February 11, 2003 Author Senior Member Share Posted February 11, 2003 Did anyone read Dr. Feller's website for FUE. He claims that the scarring is worst than strip but less visable. Does that make sense to anybody ? www. fellermedical.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tincup Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 He says more scaring not worse scaring. He means that in a strip there is one scar and it is more visible. In FUE, there are hundreds or thousands of scars (one for each extraction) but the scars are very small and far less noticable. Any time the skin is cut, there is a scar, you can't avoid that. From what I understand, even if the head is shaved, the scar created from the FUE punch difficult to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francis Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 EastCoast, My scar (1 1/2" x 1/4")was probably 45 years old. I got it when I was a kid fighting with my cousin. He hit me over the head with a brick. I was amazed that the grafts took. I did not expect it, because the scar was so old. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 12, 2003 Share Posted February 12, 2003 Francis Who did the fue work in the scar ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 I am approximately 2 months post-op from a procedure with Dr. Jones. Part of the procedure was to extract 500 grafts of chest hair and implant them into a donor scar from prior strip incision surgery.
