Hair Transplant Scars

If you have just had a hair transplant surgery, then your scalp has already scarred. But this is not a problem at all, if the scarring is not visible and does not impact growth.

If your hair was harvested using the strip harvesting surgical method, scarring in the donor area will always happen, but the visibility of the scars can be greatly minimized until the point it can almost never be detected.

However, keep in mind that some individuals will get scarred more and some will not. Nowadays, hair transplantation with modern surgical procedures should not cause any scars to develop in the recipient area, or the balding area.
