Scar Repair and Recovery

Scar Repair
and Recovery Chicago


Many patients have had one or multiple previous hair transplants with resulting poor scarring in their donor area on the back of the head. When individuals like to wear their hair closely cropped or cut, the scars can be unattractive and very noticeable. Dr. Yates utilizes multiple methods to help correct the appearance of a poor scar. The most successful and least invasive is utilizing the FUE technique to transplant hair into the scar area. He has experienced successful graft survival and given patients dramatic results to improve their appearance.

Occasionally, he will recommend scalp tattooing or permanent pigmentation in combination with FUE to further conceal the appearance of a scar. PRP also could be of benefit.

When the FUE treatment is utilized to correct the appearance of scars, it will typically take about 3 hours. Depending on the size of the scar, patients will usually need 300-450 hair grafts to camouflage the scar. Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy (PRP) is always beneficial to utilize with FUE, and this treatment option might be recommended to you.
