Donor Site Scar Revision focuses on minimizing or correcting scarring in the donor area after hair transplantation. This is particularly important for patients who have undergone Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUT) or other methods that leave visible scars.
Revision techniques include Trichophytic Closure, which involves overlapping the wound edges to allow hair to grow through the scar, making it less noticeable. In cases of older or more pronounced scars, procedures like micropigmentation or excision may be used to improve the appearance.
Advanced therapies, such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) injections, can promote healing and reduce scar visibility. Proper postoperative care, including avoiding tension on the donor area and following prescribed medication regimens, further supports scar minimization.
Patients benefit from donor site scar revision as it improves the aesthetic outcome of hair restoration and enhances their overall confidence. This focus on scar management ensures that the donor area remains discreet and suitable for future procedures if needed.
