Question:
Repairing plastic surgery scars with hair transplants
I’ve had 4 surgeries going into the same coronal incision which has left me bald in certain areas. Is it possible to do hair transplantation onto this overly worked incision line?
Answer:
Dear Anna – Yes, it is quite likely that the scar can be improved by a transplant procedure. You can email some photos for me to evaluate if you wish.Posted by Jeffrey S. Epstein, MD, FACS Question:Repairing plastic surgery scars with hair transplants.

Dear Dr. Epstein,
I had a hair transplant when I was 20 and would prefer now to just have a buzz cut. I have a straight scar in the back of my head that is very thin but if I buzz my head it will definitely be visible. My doctor did not take the extra step of stitching or cutting the skin so hair would grow through the scar. Is there anywhere in the Miami area, where I currently live that I can go to get the scar fixed to become hard to see?
