Where is the scar going to be?
The scar for hair transplantation depends on the technique used. For micro-grafting or mini-grafting the donor site scar is usually placed at the back of the scalp It is usually about three or four inches long. Small scars also occur where the holes are made for the hair grafts to be placed. The scars for flap surgery are often placed along the sides of the head, the hairline or vertically upward from the ear. They are long and can stretch. All surgery requires a scar and all scars take time to soften and fade. You will not see the final appearance of your scar for a year after surgery. It is usually red and raised for the first month or two after your operation.
