    TLDR The new Cosmetic Surgery Scar Assessment Scale (CSSAS) was found to be simple and effective in evaluating scars from hair restoration surgeries.
    In 2017, a study was conducted on 50 male patients undergoing their first hair restoration procedure to evaluate the quality of scars using a new Cosmetic Surgery Scar Assessment Scale (CSSAS). The scars were assessed 12 months post-operation, with the average scar score being 14.3 out of 40, and 78% of patients having an average score of 15 or less. The CSSAS was found to be simple and effective, but the study only included scars from strip-harvest hair restoration surgeries, and the scale's effectiveness in different lighting conditions was not assessed. The document did not provide specific conclusions from this evaluation, and the validity of CSSAS over other scar assessment scales remains to be evaluated.
