Scar Removal Surgery
What is Scar Removal Surgery?
As the name suggests, scar removal surgery is a cosmetic procedure that corrects any significant, lasting marks resulting from hair transplant treatments. Our specialists have a number of effective methods to reduce the appearance of these skin blemishes, including:
- Remove old, thick scars –we can remove old thick scars and close them with a Trichophytic closure to ensure the scar is almost invisible.
- Camouflaging – We can disguise the site by transplanting hair directly onto the scarred region.
- Administering less invasive procedures – Cortisone injections can flatten thick strips, while dermal fillers are ideal to raise depressed lines, and laser treatments level or smooth any irregular scars.
SCARS FROM PREVIOUS HAIR TRANSPLANTS
Even though hair transplant surgery has revolutionised the way people experience ageing and alopecia, an unfortunate number of patients gain a new problem – visible scars. Common causes of visible scalp scarring include:
- Outdated hair transplant methods
- New surgery techniques are performed incorrectly
- Patients simply don’t recover well due to poor scalp laxity
Using advanced technology, we can now minimise any unsightly marks left behind from previous graft procedures. The MHR team goes to great lengths to ensure that patients undergo the most appropriate scar surgery for their needs.
