Complications of Hair Restoration Surgery: An Overview

A user shared progress pictures of a corrective hair transplant involving 1670 grafts after a previous unsuccessful surgery. The conversation includes questions about medication use and comments on hairline design.

A user shared their experience with hair transplant scab removal, noting that most scabs came off easily without bleeding by using oil and shampoo. They sought advice on whether any hair was lost during the process, and others reassured them that no hair was lost and to trust the healing process.

A small spot or gap after a hair transplant is normal due to skin stretching during healing. Following post-procedure instructions is important, and the issue should resolve as swelling decreases.

Transplanted hair is shedding one year after surgery. The user is asked if they are on medications like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841.

A user shared their experience with a beard-to-scalp hair transplant, noting no visible scars and improved hair density using finasteride and minoxidil. The conversation discusses the differences between beard and scalp hair, potential changes in hair texture, and the use of beard hair for increased scalp coverage.

The user is considering another hair transplant or scalp micropigmentation (SMP) for a congenital bald spot, but previous transplants were less effective due to scar tissue. Suggestions include using hair fibers, changing hairstyles, or doing nothing, as the spot is not very noticeable.
